25
6 types of proteins
Transport, receptor, identity, enzyme, anchoring site, cell-adhesion
26
regulate movement of substances across the plasma membrane, eg channels, carriers, pumps, symporters, antiporters
Transport protein
27
bind to ligands which bind to macromolecules like neurotransmitters
Receptor protein
28
communicate to other cells that they belong in the body, eg tagging by immune cells
Identity marker
29
attached to either internal or external surface of cell, catalyzes chemical reactions
Enzyme
30
secure cytoskeleton to plasma membrane
Anchoring site
31
for cell-to-cell attachments (membrane junctions)
Cell-adhesion
32
Movement of substance from high to low concentration of solute
diffusion
33
Channel mediated or carrier mediated diffusion that moves charged or polar solutes through the plasma membrane that would otherwise be blocked
facilitated diffusion
34
Passive movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane
osmosis
35
the ability of a solution to change the volume or pressure of a cell by osmosis
Tonicity
36
lower concentration of solutes than cytosol, water moves from outside cell to inside cell
Hypotonicity
37
higher concentration of solutes than cytosol, water moves from inside the cell to outside
Hypertonicity
38
the means by which large substances or large amounts of substances are secreted from a cell
Exocytosis
39
the mean by which large substances or large amounts of substances are taken up by a cell
Endocytosis
40
cellular eating, a cell engulfs a large particle external to the cell
phagocytosis
41
cellular drinking, a cell internalizes droplets of interstitial fluid
pinocytosis
42
uses receptor proteins to bring molecules in the interstitial fluid into the cell
receptor-mediated endocytosis
43
A plasma membrane that allows the passage of water, but its phospholipid bylayer blocks most solutes
selectively permeable membrane
44
movemement against a concentration gradient
Active transport
45
movement with a concentration gradient
passive transport
46
Involves energy input to move large substances across the plasma membrane by a vesicle, a membrane-bound sac filled with substances
vesicular transport
47
How osmosis effects cell
cell gains or loses water through osmosis based on tonicity of cell
48
One of the most important tonic solutions in the body
blood
49
cell shrinkage due to loss of water in a hypertonic solution
Crenation
50
