chp 2 biological chem DAT Flashcards
cells and organelles
what are the cell membrane components ?
phospholipids, carbs and proteins.
3 determinants -
temp , cholesterol and fatty acid sat
temp -
hot ; phospholipids spread out (more fluid)
cold; phospholipids get closer - membrane less fluid and more rigid
cholesterol -
maintains the distance when cold. holds phospholipids together when hot
fluid mosaic model -
cis - unsat fatty acid (bent = H on the same side ) FLUID
sat fatty acid RIGID
trans - unsat fatty acid ( H is on each app side ) RIGID
problem with a barrier -
cells need to move molecules across the membrane . they can cross through passive and active transport
passive transport -
utilizes “passive diffusion” ( substances diffuse DOWN their concentration grad.
NO CELLULAR ENERGY REQUIRED
2 types of passive transport -
simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion
simple diffusion -
small , uncharged , non polar , molecular , OSMOSIS
facilitated diffusion -
large, hydrophilic , charged molecules.
utilizes intergral membrane proteins.
facilitated diffusion ports -
uniport ( one molecule,one way )
symport (several molecule , one way )
antiport ( several molecules, opp ways)
passive transport : facilitated diffusion
channel protein - connect extra and intracellular environment. allowed passage of small polar molecules
carriers proteins : change the shape and only faces one side at a time.
channel proteins -
PORINS
usually not specific
normally allow any hydrophilic molecules
active transport -
3 types
primary active
secondary active
cytosis
primary active
uses energy from TAP hydrolysis , pumps ions against their concentration grad
secondary active
relies on energy source OTHER THAN ATP
transports molecules against their concentration Grad
relies on primary , uses energy another molecule releases
cytosis
facilitate bulk transport (larg polar molecules)
requires energy
2 types of cytosis
endo and exocytosis
Edno - phago,pino, receptor mediated endocytosis
exo
endo -
endocytosis - the formation of vesicle around something extracellular
phago -
cellular eating , undissolved material
pino -
cellular drinking , dissolved materials
receptor mediated endo
specific molecule bind to the peripheral membrane proteins
exocytosis
opposite of endo
meaterials exit the cell
what is the currency for cells ?
ATP
what are integral proteins ?
they will cross the entire lipid bilayer. They will be exposed in the extra and intra cellular membrane. they are receptors and transporters.
what are peripheral membrane proteins?
DO NOT CROSS BILAYER. they are only attached in the surface outside of the cell. they are polar. they act as adhesion and recognition proteins.
fluid mosaic model
it is the flow of the components- it has a lateral movement.
3 determinants of the fluid mosaic model-
temp, cholesterol and fatty acid saturation.
temp
phospholipids spread out when temp is hot and when its cold they are more rigid.
cholesterol
maintain the distance between phospholipids when its cold or hot. it acts as a balancer for fluidity
saturation
saturated - NO double bonds
Unsat - double bonds
trans unsat - double bond on opposite side STRAIGHT
cis unsat - double bond on same side BENT
crossing the cell membrane -
this is a problem for cells because they need to eat and cross waste.
how do cells overcome the cell membrane ?
passive and active transport
what is passive transport ?
diffusion -
no cellular energy is required
moving DOWN its gradient
uses ATP for energy
what are the 2 types of passive transport?
simple and facilitated
simple transport
small , uncharged, non polar molecules.
moving DOWN the gradient
-osmosis is a type of simple trans-
facilitated transport
large, hydrophilic, charged molecules.
uses integral proteins.
uniport, symport,antiport
uni - 1 molecule 1 way
Sym- many molecules 1 way
anti- many molecules pop way
types of integral proteins
channel and carriers
channel- they connect the extra and intra environment and allow small polar molecules to cross
carriers - they change shape and open 1 side at a time
active transport
molecules traveling AGAINST concentration gradient. REQUIRES energy (ATP) and it relies on carrier proteins
3 types of active transport
primary, secondary and cytosis
primary
uses energy from ATP hydrolysis and it pumps ions against concentration grad
secondary
relies on energy OTHER than ATP . transporting molecules against concentration molecules . uses energy molecule releases
