Membrane Transport Flashcards
composed of phospholipids and proteins
cell membrane
arrangement of phospholipids (name)
phospholipid bilayer
cell membrane fluid/rigid
fluid
components drift past one another
cell membrane function
retains cell contents
regulates material movement into/out of cell
selective barrier
cell membrane
proteins embedded in membrane
membrane proteins
types of transport proteins
channel protein
membrane pumps
diffusion of small molecules and ions is function of …
channel protein
… function is active transport of particles
membrane pumps
speed up chemical reactions
enzymes
… function is attachment of hormones
hormone receptor site
3 general membrane protein functions/actions
attachment of other cells
cell to cell recognition
attachment to cytoskeleton
types of cell transport
passive
active
passive transport
cell doesn’t spend energy
happens cuz occurs “down” transportation gradient
active transport
cell spends energy (ATP)
eg. materials transported into cells (nutrients)
O^2 water iron calcium glucose cortisol
