chp 5 biology Flashcards
every cell is surrounded by what seperating it from its external enviroment
plasma membrane
regulates passage of materials in and out the cell, helps maintain homeostasis
plasma membrane
J. singer and G nicolson proposed what in 1972
fluid mosaic model
embedded proteins loosley associate with the bilayer, like a dynamic mosaic
fluid mosaic model
in the red blood cell what of phospholids are the parallel dark line
hydrophilic heads
in the red blood cell what is the light zone between them
hydrophobic tails
flexible, self sealing, and can fuse with other bilayers
lipid bilayers
ampithatic proteins firmly bound to the membrane
integral membrane proteins
intergal proteins that extend completley through the membrane
transmembrane protein
located on the inner or outer surface of plasma membrane bound to exposed regions of the intergal proteins
periphal membrane proteins
5 functions of a protein
anchor the cell to its substrate, transport molecules across the membrane, catalyze enzymatic reactions near the cell surface, receive information from other cells, serve as a identification tag
form pores in the membrane
transport proteins
two types of transport proteins
channel proteins, and carrier proteins
transport water and specific type of ions
channel proteins
changes shape
carrier proteins
many ions and small molecules move through membranes by
diffusion
the random motion of particles resulting in net movement down there own concentration gradient
diffusion
diffusion is what type of transport
passive transport
no net movement of water molecules occurs between cell and surrounding fluid
isotonic solution
a higher concentration of solutes exist outside the cell, cell will shrink and lose water
hypertonic solution
a lower concentration of solutes exist outside the cell, cell will gain water and swell
hypotonic solution
occur when a plasma membrane seperates from the cell wall because it is in a hypertonic solution
plasmolysis
a specific transport protein makes membrane permeable to a specific ion or polar molecule
facilitated diffusion
a system across the cell membrane that pumps materials from a region of low concentration to high
active transport
