Chapter 5 Flashcards
Membranes have selective permeability meaning that
only some substances can get across membrane
Phospholipids are amphipathic and so are its
proteins
Glycoprotein
- cell recognition
-protein embedded in cell membrane with carbohydrate side chain
Glycolipid
- cell recognition
- carbohydrate side chain attached directly to phospholipid bilayer
Fluid Mosaic Model
described phospholipid bilayer and its integrins
Channel proteins are
hydrophilic
Carrier Proteins
change shape to allow molecules through
Signal Transduction
signals within body pick up signaling molecule, molecules activate by changing shape
Intercellular Joining
cells get next to each other to ooze into each other
Polar molecules do not go through cell membranes easily, they need the help of
Integrins
Transport Proteins
allow the passage of hydrophilic substances across cell membrane
Diffusion
passive process - no energy
greater concentration to lesser concentration
Passive Transport
does not require energy
Osmosis
diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
Tonicity
concentrations inside or outside of a cell causing it to lose or gain water
