mitochondria and Plasma membrane Flashcards
Tom translocase
translocase of outer membrane
Tim complex
translocase of inner membrane
MPP
Matrix Processing Peptidase that cleaves targeting sequence following transport
Tiny TIms
inter membrane space chaperones that carry proteins to Tim 22 channel complex.
SAM
sorting and assembly machinery for moving some proteins from intermembrane space to outer membrane
Plasma Membrane
defines the boundary of all cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) and separates the internal contents from the external environment surrounding the cell.
How can peripheral membrane proteins disassociated for the plasma membrane?
with treatments of polar reagents such as solutions of extreme Ph or high salt concentration
How can integral membrane protein
ampipathic detergents that disrupt the phospholipid biayer.
Why is intestinal epithelial cells called Polarized?
a cell that has very different structural and functional faces at opposite ends of the cell.
What molecules can freely diffuse across the plasma membrane?
Gases, hydrophobic molecules, charged molecules.
Endocytosis
is a process in which material to be internalized is surrounded by an area of the plasma membrane, which then buds off inside the cell to form a vesicle containing the invested material.
Pinocytosis
is the uptake of fluids or macromolecules in small vesicles.
Phagocytosis
is the ingestion of large particles such as bacteria.
