cells and cell membranes Flashcards
plasma membrane function
regulate movement of substances in and out of cell
nucleus function
contains cells DNA
controls the cell
nucleolus function
ribosome synthesis
ER function
plays a central role in the synthesis of proteins
golgi body function
manage sort + package macromolecules for cell secretion
mitochondria function
production of energy by synthesis of ATP
nuclear envelope function
pores regulate the movement of macromolecules like protein and RNA

exocytosis
width of cell membrane
7-8 nm
3 functions of cell membrane
1 - selectivley permeable
2 – allows communication with other cells
3 - allow recognition of other external substances
phospholipid sturcture
two Fatty acids
glycerol
phosphate group.
what do intrinsic proteins do
responsible for transport,
enzymatic activity,
cell-cell recognition, intercellular joining
what does intrinsicc protein allow
facilitated diffusion
what are carrier proteins
change in shape that translocates the solute across the membrane. This is used for larger molecules
channel proetin
hydrophilic corridors for specific hydrophilic molecules to move down
where are glycoproteins
combined to a carbohydrate (protein thingy)
glycolipid function
recognition site
where is glycolipid on membrane
behidn the bilayer thingy
cholesterol function
adds strength and rigidity to the membrane
intrinsic protein function
span the whole membrane allows facillitated diffusion
extrinsic proteins function
only on surface of membrane anchor cells to other structures
glycoproteins function
cell receptor sites
hormone / drugs bind to them
