Chapter 7 Flashcards
What’s the membrane made of?
Lipids and proteins
Phospholipids
Embedded in the membrane
Kind of protein
Integral
Loosely bound to surface of membrane
Type of protein
Peripheral
Carbohydrates are necessary for:
Cell-cell recognition
Movement of a molecule DOWN its concentration gradient
Diffusion
Mvmt of WATER across selectively permeable membrane
Osmosi
Ability of surrounding solution to cause a cell to gain/lose water
Toni city
Isotonic
Environment same as cell
Hypertonic
More solute in environment
Hypotonic
Less solute in environment
Provide doorway through membrane
Channel protein
Change shape to shuttle molecule across membrane
Carrier proteins
Movement of molecules AGAINST gradient (requiring ENERGY)
Active transport
