lecture Flashcards
Is the cell membrane a fluid or a solid?
fluid
describe the cell membrane
contains the lipid bilayer
covers the cell
also referred to as the plasma membrane
How thick is the plasma membrane
7-10 nm thick
The cell membrane is composed of how many percentage of Protein, Carbohydrates, and Lipids?
55 protein
3 carbohydrate
42 Lipid
Explain the amphipathic structure of a phospholipid
Contains a hydrophilic glycerol head facing the Intracellular membrane and extracellular
and two fatty acid tails
Fluid inside of a cell
Intracellular fluid
Process of attaching sugars
Post-translational modification found in mitosis and meiosis
Glycosylation
Two types of Glycosylation
N-Glycosylation
O-Glycosylation
Interstitial: Supports, surrounds, the cell: 75 percent of fluid in the body
Intravascular: Blood plasma : 25 percent of the body
Transmembrane fluid: synovial fluid, ocular fluid, Cerebrospinal fluid (backbone fluid)
Extracellular fluid
OLIGOSACCHARIDES LINKED TO THE NITROGEN ATOM ON AN ASPARAGINE
N-Glycosylation
OLIGOSACCHARIDES ARE LINKED TO OXYGEN L, TYPICALLY ON SERINE OR THREONINE OR THREONINE RESIDUE
O-Glycosylation
Integral funvtiom of the cell membrane and cell walls
Structure
IMPORTANT ROLES OF GLYCOPROTEINS
CELL MEMBRANES
TISSUE STRENGTH
PLANT GRAVITY RESISTANCE (It’s why despite how tall a plant is, it doesn’t topple over)
IMMUNE RESPONSE IN BLOOD VESSELS
BRAIN FUNCTION
BLOOD CLOTTING
BLOOD TYPE IDENTIFICATION
REPRODUCTION
MUCUS PRODUCTION
IMMUNEE SYSTEM SUPPORT
SKIN HEALTH
This protein is Embedded: found deeply in the phospholipid bilayer
Spanned: it is found in the entire cell membrane
Embedded: found deeply in the phospholipid bilayer
Spanned: it is found in the entire cell membrane
Type of integral proteins
Alpha Helix
Helical bundle
Beta barrel
Example of beta barrel
Small ions
Chain sa fatty acid
OmpA - small iron channel
OmpT - Protease
NalP - auto transporter
FadL - long fatty acid chain transporter
PhoE - defusion pore
ScrY - Sucrose specific porin
OmpiA - Phospholipase (Integral protein)
Alpha helix sample
Myoglobin
Hemoglobin
Present in one side
Hormone receptors
Cell membrane antigens
Does not like to stick inside the membrane. It’s just outside. repeat: it’s only found in ONE side.
Only one percent of the membrane is Peripheral
They are transport assistants to integral protein.
Peripheral protein
Protein for extracellular electron pathway
Cytochrome C
