Ch 5 Membranes Flashcards
4 components of cellular membranes
Phospholipid bilayer
Transmembrane proteins
Interior protein network (peripheral or intercellular)
Cell surface markers- cells can recognize each other
Fluid mosaic model
Mosaic of proteins floats in or on the fluid lipid bilayer like boats on a pond
Membrane proteins various functions
Transporters Enzymes- breaks things down Cell surface receptors Cell surface identity markets Cell to cell adhesion proteins Attachments to cytoskeleton
Peripheral proteins
Anchoring molecules attach membrane protein to surface
–Non polar regions that insert the internal portion of the lipid bilayer
–chemical bonding domains that link directly to proteins
Intergral membrane protein
Goes through the entire lipid bilayer
Passive transport
A movement of molecules through a membrane that require no energy
Diffusion
Movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration
Carrier proteins
Help transport both ions and other solutes like sugars and amino acids
Osmosis
Diffusion of water across a membrane towards a higher solute conentration
Hypotonic
Solution has a lower solute concentration
Hypertonic
Solution has a higher solute concentration
Active transport
Requires atp. Moves substances from low to high concentration
Endocytosis
Movement of substances into the cell
Phagocytosis
Cell takes in particular matter
Pinocytosis
Cell takes in only fluid
