mroeeee stuff Flashcards
membrane
separates extracellular environment from intracellular
membrane allows for what to develop
gradients
membrane property
semi permeable barrier
membrane composition
asymmetrical environment
an association of phospholipids, and protiens
what type of amino acid typically bypasses the bilayer
hydrophobic
what do phospolipids spontaneously form
liposomes and bilayers
why are membranes energetically favorable
hydrophobic effect
inner leaflet
negative charge bc serine in
Phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylinositol
outter leaflet/ extracell leaflet features
Neutral/ positive
mostly glycolipids
bc of charge of membrane
membranes contribute a lot to migration of ions
membrane permeability what passes thru easy
small polar molecules
membrane permeability what passes thru easyish
small uncharged polar molecules
membrane permeability what passes thru harder
large macromolecules
membrane permeability what passes thru HARD
ions
membrane permeability is enhanced by
transporter and channel protein embeded in membrane
