A

hydrogen bonding
Adhesion
High heat capacity

44
Q

Do polar substances/proteins dissolve in water, if so, why?

A

yes, through hydrogen bonding, magnetic charge. Proteins can also dissolve in water, the polar or charged regions can form hydrogen bonds or electrostatic interactions with water molecules, allowing proteins to dissolve and remain stable in an aqueous environment. (Hydrophillic)

A

Gives cells structure and allows them to move. Consists of long filamentous proteins.

80
Q

Why are most cells microscopic… why do cells generally not get very big.

A

Size/physiological support- The larger the cell is the less surface area there is to support it. As size increases so does the ratio between volume and surface area.

Diffusion - Archaea and bacteria cells are not compartmentalized, no organelles bound by membranes. DNA exists in nucleoids; all chemistry occurs in cytoplasm. Due to diffusion, the cell has to be very small for rapid chemistry to be taking place, which limits how large these cells can be.

81
Q

How big are cells usually (plant animal and bacteria)

A

Plant/Animal - 10um-100um
Bacteria - 1um-10um

82
Q

Cell Membranes

A

Made primarily from phospholipids that are double layered. Hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. Can contain proteins carbs etc, not covalently bonded so can move around.

83
Q

Membranes are ____ permeable. What does this mean.

A

‘selectively’, this means that only certain things can diffuse through it. Other things like active transport are used to pass through membranes. Polar and charged things cannot pass through phospholipid bilayer.

84
Q

Diffusion vs Facilitated diffusion

A

Passing through a membrane or phospholipid bilayer. Diffusion is when it passes without the aid of anything. Facilitated diffusion is when stuff passes with the aid of an enzyme.

85
Q

How do secreted protein leave cells

A

Vesicle carries it to the edge of a cell, fuses with the cell membrane and gets rid of the proteins.

86
Q

How do large molecules get in and out of cells

A

Endocytosis and exocytosis, respectively.

87
Q

How do things pass through phospholipid bilayers (cell membranes)
