Chapter 3 Flashcards
Two major types of molecules that make up the plasma membrane
Phospholipid and protein
Which of the phospholipid and protein make up the majority of the membranes framework
Phospholipids
Integral
Extend across the plasma membrane
Peripheral
Loosely attached to the surfaces of the cell membrane
Electrochemical gradient
Difference in charge inside and outside membrane
Active
Movement using atp
Passive
Movement not using atp
Simple diffusion
Any substance from region of higher concentration to lower
Facilitated diffusion
Same as simple diffusion except movement is across a semipermeable
Osmosis
Movement of water from high concentration to low
Filtration
Movement of molecules from high pressure to low
Three principle parts of a generalized animal cell
Plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus
