20
Q

transport properties

A

the transmembrane proteins transport molecules

21
Q

What are the 3 broad classes of transport proteins?

A
  • channel proteins
  • carrier proteins/transporters
  • active transport (pump proteins)
22
Q

Protein Transport 1

A

Gated Channels: channel proteins are highly selective and highly regulated

23
Q

Protein Transport 2

A

Carrier proteins or transporter do not require energy and move molecules across the membrane

24
Q

Protein Transport 3

A

active transport moves ions and molecules against their electrochemical gradients

25
Q

What does all cells have in them?

A

nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, plasma membrane

26
Q

Morphology

A

Two broad groupings of life:

  • prokaryotes
  • eukaryotes
27
Q

prokaryote

A

has NO nucleus

28
Q

eukaryote

A

has a nucleus

29
Q

Phylogeny

A
evolutionary history 
(3 domains):
-bacteria (prokaryote)
-archaea (prokaryote)
-eukarya (eukaryote)
30
Q

4 ket differences b/w eukaryotic and prokaryotic

A
  1. chromosomes are found inside the membrane
  2. much larger cells
  3. extensive amount of internal membrane and organelles
  4. diverse and dynamic cytoskeleton
31
Q

compartmentalization

A
  1. separates incompatible chemical reactions
  2. increases efficiency in 2 ways:
    - maintenance of high concentrations of reactants
    - cluster enzymes and reactants together thus shorting the diffusion distance
