Lecture 2 Flashcards
What is the cell membrane made of?
phospholipid bilayer, membrane proteins, membrane carbs
Example sentence: The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer, membrane proteins, and membrane carbohydrates.
What is the phospholipid bilayer?
a barrier to water soluble molecules and ions
No additional information
What is the membrane protein role?
within the bilayer and they allow passage to certain molecules by slow or simple diffusion
No additional information
What are the different types of membrane proteins?
transport proteins, receptor proteins, enzymes, anchoring proteins
No additional information
What are the transport protein types?
non gated channel protein: open channel that allows water and ion movement in and out of cell by diffusion. Gated channel protein: channel can be open or closed / carrier protein- binds to solutes and shuttles them across membrane and uses facilitated movement and active transport
No additional information
What is active transport vs. Facilitated movement?
pump particles against their concentration with atp / uses diffusion to shuttle particles across membrane in particle specific proteins
No additional information
What do receptor proteins require to become activated?
requires a specific ‘ligand’ to bind to protein for reaction to occur
No additional information
What are enzymes?
occur on either side of the bilayer and controls chemical reactions with substances
No additional information
What are anchoring proteins?
joins neighbouring cells by cytoskeleton using desmosomes, tight junctions, and gap junctions
No additional information
What are membrane carbohydrates?
on the extracellular side on only glycoprotein and glycolipids for cell recognition
No additional information
What is passive membrane transport?
no energy required for particle movement
No additional information
What are the types of passive diffusion?
simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, carrier meditated transport, osmosis, osmosis pressure
No additional information
What is simple diffusion?
particle movement across membrane with no protein needed
No additional information
What is facilitated diffusion?
particle movement using channel protein
No additional information
What is carrier mediated transport?
moves charged, polar and large particles
No additional information
