LESSON 3c: CELL MEMBRANE Flashcards
Composed of phospholipid bilayer, and also exhibits the fluid mosaic model.
Cell membrane
A thin membrane around the cell that act as a barrier and, separates inner and outer cell area.
Cell membrane
What is the function of Cell membrane
Semi-permeable, protein anchor, and energy conservation.
The act of transporting elements in and out the cell.
Cell membrane transport
A type of cell membrane transport that does not use ATP, and moves element across concentration gradient (High to low concentration).
Passive transport
what are the types of passive transport?
Osmosis - net movement of water
Simple diffusion - moves small element
facilitated diffusion - moves large element
What are the types of active transport
Simple transport - moves small element driven by PMF
ABC transport - 3 components: binding protein, transport and atp-hydrolyzing protein
Group translocation - Employs series of proteins.
A type of cell membrane transport that uses ATP, and moves elements and nutrients against concentration gradient (low to high concentration.
Active transport
