What are the functions of cell membrane proteins
Transport: proteins provide a means of regulating the movement of substances across the plasma membrane. Different types of transport proteins include channels, carriers, pumps, symporters, and antiporters
Cell surface receptors: bind specific molecules called ligands. Ligands are molecules that bind to macromolecules (e.g., binding to a receptor).
An example of a ligand is a neurotransmitter released from a nerve cell that binds to the cell surface receptor of a muscle cell to initiate contraction.
Identity markers: communicate to other cells that they belong to the body. Cells of the immune system use identity markers to distinguish normal, healthy cells from foreign, damaged, or infected cells that are to be destroyed.
Enzymes :may be attached to either the internal or the external surface of a cell for catalyzing chemical reactions.
Anchoring sites: secure the cytoskeleton (the internal, protein support of a cell) to the plasma membrane.
Cell-adhesion: proteins are for cell-to-cell attachments. Proteins that form membrane junctions perform a number of functions, including binding cells to one another.
What are TWO types of membrane transport
Active Transport and Passive Transport
What distinguishes the two types of membrane transport
Active Transport (requires ATP) Active transport (requires ATP since it is moving Against (up) concentration gradient A molecule moves from a lower concentration of the molecule to a higher concentration of the molecule
Passive transport (Does Not require ATP) Passive transport (does not require) energy, since it is moving (down) the concentration gradient A molecule moves from a Higher concentration of the molecule to a lower concentration of a molecule
What is the end result of diffusion
Diffusion is the result of a concentration gradient. When there is a higher concentration of a substance on one side of a barrier than on the other side, the molecules move across the barrier to try and establish equilibrium. This process is diffusion. Diffusion of water is specifically called osmosis. While diffusion occurs in living things, equilibrium is never reached. In an organism, equilibrium is the result of death.
Diffusion will occur until two areas have reached equal concentrations
________ transport REQUIRES ATP. _________ transport DOES NOT REQUIRE ATP

Why must energy be used in active transport
Active transport mechanisms require the use of the cell’s energy, usually in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). If a substance must move into the cell against its concentration gradient, that is, if the concentration of the substance inside the cell must be greater than its concentration in the extracellular fluid, the cell must use energy to MOVE the substance. Some active transport mechanisms move small-molecular weight material, such as ions, through the membrane.
What are factors influencing diffusion rate and explain how each one influences diffusion rate
***“Environmental conditions “ affecting rate of diffusion
“Steepness” of concentration gradient
measure of the difference in concentration between two areas
steeper gradient with a faster rate of diffusion
***“Temperature” Affecting rate of diffusion
reflects random movement
higher movement with higher temperature
results in faster rate of diffusion
Factors affecting rate of diffusion (ALSO)
Factors that affect the rate of diffusion –
Size of molecule – the smaller the molecules, the faster the rate of diffusion. Relationship is inversely proportional.
Temperature – higher temperature meant more kinetic energy, so faster rate of diffusion. Relationship is directly proportional.
Concentration gradient – the greater the difference in concentration of molecules, the faster the rate. Relationship is directly proportional.
Distance – the shorter the distance that the molecules will have to travel, the faster the rate of diffusion. Relationship is inversely proportional.
Surface area – the greater the surface area of the cell, the faster the rate. Relationship is directly proportional.
Differences between active and passive transport
Passive transport moves substances down a concentration gradient with no energy use by the cell.
Active transport requires energy use by the cell to move substances against the concentration gradient
Identify how ATP is involved in maintaining the sodium and potassium gradients across a cell membrane.
ATP provides the energy that drives the sodium-potassium pump, which pumps NA+ out of the cell and K+ into the cell
When sodium moves by passive transport, explain the determining factor in which direction it will go
Passive transport means it does not require energy. Therefore, substances move from areas of high concentration to low concentration. They do not require energy because they are staying within the concentration gradient.
During diffusion, molecules tend to move in what direction?
How would sodium move in this case?
From an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Sodium would move…Passive transport means it does not require energy. Therefore, substances move from areas of high concentration to low concentration. They do not require energy because they are staying within the concentration gradient.

Molecules that move via simple diffusion
The structure of the lipid bilayer allows small, uncharged substances such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, and hydrophobic molecules such as lipids, to pass through the cell membrane, down their concentration gradient, by simple diffusion.
Sodium
sodium ions (Na+) are highly concentrated outside of cells, these electrolytes are charged and cannot pass through the nonpolar lipid bilayer of the membrane. Their diffusion is facilitated by membrane proteins that form sodium channels (or “pores”), so that Na+ ions can move down their concentration gradient from outside the cells to inside the cells.
Why must molecules use facilitated diffusion VS. simple diffusion
Simple Diffusion:
The structure of the lipid bilayer allows small, uncharged substances such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, and hydrophobic molecules such as lipids, to pass through the cell membrane, down their concentration gradient, by simple diffusion.
Versus:
Facilitated Diffusion
is the diffusion process used for those substances that cannot cross the lipid bilayer due to their size, charge, and/or polarity but do so down their concentration gradients
Simple Diffusion Versus Facilitated diffusion

The type of diffusion that osmosis is would be facilitated diffusion because Water is POLAR and anything small or polar has to go through facilitated difussion
what determines which direction water moves
movement occurs in response to a difference in relative concentration of water on either side of a membrane.
Water always move from a larger concentration to a lower concentration
Which of the following moves more passively OUT of a cell
Sodium, potassium, chloride, or calcium
potassium ( Because potassium concentration id higher inside the cell than out of the cell, so it will passively move out of the cell towards the lower concentration
Where is the primary location in the cell membrane where osmosis occurs
semipermeable (or selectively permeable) membrane
Two ways water crosses membrane
MOST: through phospholipid bilayer
through integral protein water channels
termed aquaporins
Osmosis occurs in cells across the plasma membrane, which is permeable to water but non-permeable to most solutes. Water always moves across the plasma membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration until equilibrium is reached
If these solutions 5 moles\liter and 10 moles\liter were om either side of a membrane that only allowed water to cross, which way would water move?
If a water gradient exists, water moves by osmosis from where it is more concentrated (side B) to where it is less concentrated (side A) until equilibrium is reached. Osmotic pressure is the pressure exerted by this movement of water.
Note: That water moves toward the solution with the lower water concentration (stated another way, water moves toward the solution with the greater solute concentration).
Movement of which of the following will result in more negative charges INSIDE the cell?
Sodium in, potassium in, chloride in, calcium in

Sodium in, potassium in, chloride in, calcium in
Sodium, Potassium, Calcium in (They are positively charged, so when they go in the cell, the inside now has more positive charges and the outside of the cell has more negative charges)
Movement of which of the following will result in more negative charges INSIDE the cell?
Sodium out, Potassium out, chloride out, calcium out
Sodium, Potassium, Calcium out (positively charges ions leaving the cell will result in the ell having more negative charges)
Movement of which of the following will result in more negative charges OUTSIDE the cell?
Sodium out, Potassium out, chloride out, calcium out
Chloride out (neagtive ion going outside of the cell results in more negative charges outside of the cell)

Active Transport
There are three main types of Active Transport:
The Sodium-Potassium pump, Exocytosis, and Endocytosis.
What distinguished the types of active transport
their specific energy source
Describe the process of phosphorylation
Primary active transport uses energy derived directly from the breakdown of ATP. This breakdown also provides the phosphate group that is added to the membrane transport pump, resulting in a change in the protein’s shape and the subsequent movement of a solute across the membrane. The addition of the phosphate to a protein is called phosphorylation
Phosphorylation makes the pump change shape, re-orienting itself so it opens towards the extracellular space. In this conformation, the pump no longer likes to bind to sodium ions (has a low affinity for them), so the three sodium ions are released outside the cell.
Phosphate group from ATP added to membrane protein to change its shape
Describe ion pumps and its functions
Cellular protein pumps that move ions across the membrane are more specifically called ion pumps. Ion pumps are a major factor in a cell’s ability to maintain its internal concentrations of ions.
Ca2+ pumps embedded in the plasma membranes of erythrocytes move calcium out of the erythrocyte to prevent it from becoming rigid due to the accumulation of calcium.
H+ pumps are another type of transport protein that function in maintaining cellular pH
The sodium-potassium (Na+/K+) pump is a special type of ion pump. It is specifically called an exchange pump because it moves one type of ion into a cell against its concentration gradient, while moving another type of ion out of the cell against its concentration gradient. (You may find it helpful to think of the Na+/K+ pump as a “dual pump” because it moves two different ions against their respective concentration gradients.) The plasma membrane preserves steep concentration gradient differences for these ions by continuously exporting Na+ out of the cell and moving K+ into the cell.

Ion pumps:
Move ions actively
Help cell maintain internal ion concentration
Example: Ca2+ pumps in red blood cell
Necessary item for the NA\K pump to function
The cell must expend ATP to maintain the levels of these ions on each side of the membrane. The Na+/K+ pump is also called a sodium-potassium ATPase because the protein pump is an enzyme that splits ATP to power the pump.
What represents the force to hold back water movement
Hydrostatic Pressure (Osmotic Pressure)
One way to stop osmosis is to increase the hydrostatic pressure on the solution side of the membrane; this ultimately squeezes the solvent molecules closer together, increasing their “escaping tendency.”
What is the energy molecule used in the NA\K pump
ATP
For every ATP molecule that the pump uses, three sodium ions are exported and two potassium ions are imported;

B. A solution that has a glucose concentration of 300 mg\dl.
C. A solution that has a glucose concentration of 50 mg\dl
A. Isotonic: No net movement (Because amounts are equal)
B. Hypotonic: (Because of lower concentration of solutes and higher concentration of water.
C. Hyperonic:(Because of a a higher concentration of solutes and lower concentration of water)
Isotonic( No change to cell)
Hypotonic ( The cell would Lysis (Burst)
Hypertonic (The cell would Crenation (shrink)
What term would describe each of the solutions in the problem above A,B and C?
A. Isotonic( No change to cell)
B. Hypotonic ( The cell would Lysis (Burst)
C. Hypertonic (The cell would Crenation (shrink)
Note:
Gases such as Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) can pass freely through the cell membrane. Small polar molecules such as water of H2O can pass but very slowly. They are usually assisted through facilitated diffusion such as with osmosis.
Relate Osmolality Why is this relationship important?
Osmolality: a measure of the total solute concentration per kilogram of solvent or water
Osmolality: measurement of the amount of solute mixed per volume of solvent
Note:
Hypotonic (definition): low solute, high solvent
Isotonic (definition): equal solute and solvent ratio
Hypertonic (definition): high solute, low solvent
Relate Osmolality of the blood with IV Fluids. Why is this relationship important?
Osmolality: a measure of the total solute concentration per kilogram of solvent or water
Osmolality: measurement of the amount of solute mixed per volume of solvent
Lower osmolality is <275 mmol/kg and means blood is hypotonic
Higher osmolality is >295 mmol/kg and means blood is hypertonic

Location of energy used in secondary active transport
Uses energy (ATP) indirectly Uses energy provided by movement of second substance with its gradient (example: sodium)
Energy molecule used in secondary active transport
Secondary active transport , created by primary active transport, is the transport of a solute in the direction of its electrochemical gradient and does not directly require ATP.
Note: The steps of the NA\K pump
The sodium-potassium pump moves K+ into the cell while moving Na+ at a ratio of three Na+ for every two K+ ions .
When the sodium-potassium- ATPase enzyme points into the cell, it has a high affinity for sodium ions and binds three of them, hydrolyzing ATP and changing shape.
As the enzyme changes shape, it reorients itself towards the outside of the cell, and the three sodium ions are released.
The enzyme’s new shape allows two potassium to bind and the phosphate group to detach, and the carrier protein repositions itself towards the interior of the cell.
The enzyme changes shape again, releasing the potassium ions into the cell.
After potassium is released into the cell, the enzyme binds three sodium ions, which starts the process over again.
Location of energy used in secondary active transport
Uses energy (ATP) indirectly Uses energy provided by movement of second substance with its gradient (example: sodium)
Energy source from movement of another substance
Energy molecule used in secondary active transport
Secondary active transport , created by primary active transport, is the transport of a solute in the direction of its electrochemical gradient and does not directly require ATP.
While secondary active transport consumes ATP to generate the gradient down which a molecule is moved, the energy is not directly used to move the molecule across the membrane.
Unlike in primary active transport, in secondary active transport, ATP is not directly coupled to the molecule of interest. Instead, another molecule is moved up its concentration gradient , which generates an electrochemical gradient. The molecule of interest is then transported down the electrochemical gradient. While this process still consumes ATP to generate that gradient, the energy is not directly used to move the molecule across the membrane, hence it is known as secondary active transport. Both antiporters and symporters are used in secondary active transport.

2 general types of organelles, types based on this
membrane-bound organelles and non-membrane-bound organelles. Membrane-bound organelles, or membranous organelles, are enclosed by a membrane similar to the plasma membrane. The membrane separates the organelle’s contents from the cytosol so that the specific activities of the organelle can proceed without disruption from other cellular activities. Membrane-bound organelles include the endoplasmic reticulum (rough and smooth), Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, and mitochondria . Vesicles are temporary membrane-bound structures formed from the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and plasma membrane.
The non-membrane-bound organelles, or nonmembranous organelles, are not enclosed within a membrane. These structures are generally composed of protein and include ribosomes (either attached [bound] to the external surface of the endoplasmic reticulum or free within the cytosol), the centrosome, proteasomes, and the cytoskeleton.
What organelle produces enzymes to destroy items
Lysosomes also digest molecular structures of damaged organelles in a similar fashion; this process is specifically called autophagy (= to eat). When a cell is damaged or dies, enzymes from its lysosomes are eventually released into the cytosol, resulting in the rapid digestion of the molecular components of the cell itself. This process is called autolysis

Functions of microfilaments: help maintain cell shape form internal support of microvilli separate two cells during cytokinesis facilitate cytoplasmic streaming participate in muscle contraction
What protein of the cytoskeleton radiates from the centrosome
Microtubules of the cytoskeleton
3 projections of the cell membrane
microvilli, cilia, and flagella
orientation of the two centrioles in a pair
right angles
What is the function of ATP
Energy
Location of ribosomes (names of each one)
They are situated in the cytosol, some bound and free-floating to the membrane of the coarse endoplasmic reticulum.
free
fixed
Assembled in the Cytoplasm
Function of ribosomes
Protein Synthesis:
1. Bound ribosomes synthesize proteins destined to be incorporated into the plasma membrane, exported from the cell, or housed within lysosomes
2.Free ribosomes synthesize proteins for use within the cell
Function= Protein Synthesis
Two organelles that have cisternae
ER and golgi apparatus
This forms the brush border of the intestines
microvilli
Cell membrane projections that can create own movement
cilia and flagella
Cell membrane projection that cannot create own movement
microvilli
Cell membrane projection that moves objects across the cell surface
cilia
Cell membrane projection that increases surface area
flagella
Material that makes up the nucleus
DNA, nucleoplasm
Types of intercellular junctions
tight, adhering, desmososomes, and gap
Location of intercellular junctions
lateral surfaces
This intercellular junction keeps materials from passing in between cells
tight junctions
This intercellular junction helps transmit electrical impulses from one heart muscle cell to the next
gap junctions
Functional unit of the body
The cell
