Cells Pt.2 (Lipids And Membranes) Flashcards
Lipids are..
Large bio molecules that don’t form polymers
Phospholipids 2 parts are ____ and connected by what reaction
Hyrdophilic heads, hydrophobic fatty acid tails. Put together by dehydration synthesis.
Amphipathic means
Having parts both polar (hydrophilic) and non-polar (hydrophobic)
Phospholipids structure
They create a bilayer, heads on the outside and tails on the inside
Fatty Acids can be…
Saturated or Unsaturated
Saturated Fatty Acid
Full of hydrogen pairs, straight, viscous, liquid above 70°c
Unsaturated Fatty Acid
Double bonds between carbons, bent, liquid above 12°C
Cholesterol function
Different effects on membrane fluidity at different temperatures
Plasma membrane made from (plus main attribute)
Selectively permeable, made from lipid bilayer (nonpolar molecules) and membrane protiens (polar molecules)
Cholesterol is made from
A Carbo skeleton with 4 fused rings
Peripheral Protien
Protein connected to the outside of the membrane
Integral protein
Transmembrane protein, go through membrane, amphipathic
Osmosis
The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Diffusion
Molecules want to spread out evenly into avaliable spac
Hypotonic
Low solute concentration
Hypertonic
High solute concentration
Equal solute concentration on both sides
Isotonic
Glycoprotien
Carbohydrate connected to a protein
Glycolipid
Carbohydrate connected to a lipid
Burst animal cell
Lysed
Shriveled plant cell
Plasmolyzed
Animals cells like _____ solutions
Isotonic
Plant cells like
Hypotonic Solutions
Plant cells like
Hypotonic Solutions
Plant cells in an isotonic solution are
Flaccid
Facilitated diffusion:
Proteins that help molecules move across plasma membrane
Facilitated diffusion requires:
Transport protein, Concentration gradient, No energy required
Channel protein:
Protein with channel through the middle, usually for charged particles
Carrier protein:
For larger molecules (eg. Glucose)
Aquaporins:
For water to transport through membrane
Active transport means
Moves substances against gradient
Active trabsport uses what proteins?
Protein pumps
Protein pumps use:
ATP
Electromagnetic pump:
Transport protoen that generates voltage
Electro pump for animal cells
Sodium-Potassium pump
Electro pump for plants, fungi, and bacteria
Proton pump
Bulk transport
Moves large molecules across membrane in vesicles
Three types of endocytosis
Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis, Receptor-mediated endocytosis
Phagocytosis:
Large particles are taken in
Pinocytosis
Tiny droplets of extracellular fluid on taken in
Receptor-mediated Endocytosis
Allows cell to aquire bulk of specific substances
