Ch.3 Cell review Flashcards
Plasma membrane
fluid bilayer of lipids (phospholipids, cholesterol, glycolipids). Selectively permeable.
Proteins
enzymes, receptors which mediate membrane transport functions
tight junctions are
impermeable
Gap junctions
allow cells to communicate
passive tranpsort
kinetic energy
active transport
ATP. Energy to transport substance across membrane
Diffusion
kinetic energy. down a concentration gradient.
facilitated diffusion
solutes across a membrane by their binding with a membrane carrier protein. kinetic energy (passive transport)
Osmosis
diffusion of a solvent, such as water, through a selectively permeable membrane. LOW TO HIGH water conc. but high to low solute conc. (SALT SUCKS).
hypertonic
loss of water from cells
hypotonic
gain of water to cells (lysis maybe)
primary active transport
sodium, potassium pump.
secondary active transport
symport or antiport.
symport
same direction across membrane (secondary active transport)
antiport
substances move in the opposite direction across membrane
phagocytosis
large particles. ingest or engulf particles. (vesicular transport)
pinocytosis
dissolved molecules. small particles across cell membrane
receptor-mediated endocytosis
engulf molecules attach to receptors on the membrane (active transport)
concentration and electrical gradients
determine diffusion
sodium is in
high extracellular conc. 3 pumped into extracellular
potassium is in
high intracellular conc. (membrane more permeable to potassium) 2 pumped into intracellular
membrane potential
established when K moving in and out of cell is the same
cytoplasm
consists of cytosol and all organelles. (Major functional area of the cell)
cytosol
fluid within cell
Mitochondria
ATP formation. Cellular respiration
Ribosomes
RNA, protein synthesis
rough ER
protein modification
Vesicles
from the ER transport the proteins to other cell sites
