Organelles Flashcards
Glycocalyx (Glycolipids & Glycoproteins) & CARBS can be found in
OUTER leaflet ONLY
What absorbs stain?
THICK CELL WALL on G+ PROK = purple
Which has cell wall and cell membrane? Prok or Euk
Prok
components of cell mem
lipids (phospholipids, glycolipids, cholesterol) &
proteins (transmembrane/integral and peripheral)
fn of mem proteins
RECEPTORS, tx, channels, & communication
phosphatidylcholine = __ (tails)
1 sat & 1 UNSAT tail (kink)
factors that INCREASE FLUIDITY
1) temperature
2) shorter chain
3) # on UNSAT fa tails
FA’s form what shape when put together
MICELLES
Phospholipids form what shape & whats holds together leaflets
BILAYER (VAN DER WAALS hold together leaflets)
what is the opposite of fluidity? Fluidity = easier to break
STABILITY
FLUIDITY imp 4
exocytosis
endocytosis
trafficking
phosphatidyl-serine can be found on outer or inner leaflet?
INNER
What INCREASES STABILITY of mem
CHOLESTEROL
FN of CHOLESTEROL on mem
INCREASES STABILITY
FILLS IN gaps when lipid = TOO FLUID
why do ACANTHOCYTES occur?
aka spur cells
= RBCs with TOO MUCH CHOLESTEROL
SPUR CELL ANEMIA / ACANTHOCYTOSIS
chronic alcoholics
hyperlipidemia
^^ reticulocytes
SYMP: portal HTN (caput medusae, jaundice) & asterixis (liver flap)
what is elevated in LIPID RAFTS
CHOLESTEROL & GLYCOPHINGOLIPIDS (less fluid)
stick out of mem
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI )is an example of ___
LIPID RAFT / glycolipid attaches 2 PM
what does FLIPPASE do and what energy source does it use?
flips phospholipids and uses NRG from HYDROLYSIS
in APOPTOSIS, what flips to make this occur?
PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE flipped 2 OUTER leaflet
GLYCOLIPID fn
cell 2 cell recog
protection
NERVE CONDUCTION
on OUTER leaflet only
lipid anchor / Peripheral protein fn
SIGNALING and ADHESION
can be on either side
What does GPI do?
LINK protein 2 outer leaflet
What are 2 methods of linking proteins to the INNER leaflet?
Fatty Acetylation and Prenylation
