Lec 15 Flashcards
Types of plasma membranes
RBS plasma membrane
Phospholipids
Glycolipids
Sterols/steroids
Plasma membrane asymmetry
Outer face faces exterior
Inner face faces cytosol
Phospholipids are in
one side or the other
Phosphatidylcholine is mostly found in the outer face
Phosphatidylserine is mostly found in the inner face
Apoptosis happens when
The cell moves the inner face lipids to the outsideG
Glycolipids
Only found on outer face because they are meant to protect the cell
Sterols and steroids
Found in both sides of the membrane to help it function in cold temperatures and improve fluidity
Phospholipid bilayer
Made at ER
Phospholipids made on cytosol side of ER
Scramblases
Randomly move any phospholipid from one side to the other
Same number each side
Flippases
Move specific phospholipids to the appropriate side
Different types in each side
