midterm 1 Flashcards
Integral protein function
Transport, enzymes, receptors
Components of control mechanism
Receptor > afferent pathway > control center > efferent pathway > effector
Peripheral proteins
Cell-cell connection, shape
Glycocalux
Sugar covering at cell surface. Biological marker for cell recognition
Tight junction
Integral proteins fuse adjacent cells, impermeable
Gap junctions
Communicating, transmembrane proteins form pores
Demosomes
Rivets, reduces tearing
Ions move…
Positive to negative passively through membrane channels
Transmembrane potential (Na, K)
3 Na out, 2 K in. Excess sodium outside, potassium inside
Polarization
Separation of charges
Depolarization
Any shift from resting potential toward 0
Repolarization
Restoring normal resting potential after depolarization
Hyperpolarization
Increases negativity of resting potential
Active transportation mediated by…
Sodium potassium pump
Osmolarity
Total concentration of all solute particles in a solution
Toxicity
Ability of a solution to change shape or tone of cells by altering cells internal water volume.
Isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic
The “pump” in sodium potassium pump
ATPase
Phagosome
Vesicles formed during phagocytosis
Amoeboid motion
Movement during phagocytosis. Cytoplasm flows into temporary extensions, allows creeping
Exocytosis activated by…
Cell surface signal or change in membrane voltage
Mitochondria
Double membrane, own DNA RNA and ribosomes, divide by fission, generate ATP
ribosomes
Protein synthesis
Free- soluble proteins for cytosol, mitochondria, organelles
Fixed- attached to ER, proteins for cell membranes or lysosomes or export from cell
Rough ER
Manufactures excrete proteins and membrane proteins and phospholipids. Go to Golgi
Smooth ER
Lipid metabolism, cholesterol and steroid based hormone synthesis, making lipids
Detox, glycogen to glucose (liver), store and release calcium in muscle cells
