Quarter 2: lesson 1 Flashcards
separating the cell’s internal constitution
from its external environment.
outer limiting barrier
semi-permeable structure that regulates the entry and exit of material into
and out of the cell.
cell membrane
The main fabric of the
cell that covers, protect,
and separate the cell’s
internal and external
environment.
PHOSPHOLIPID
BILAYER
Hydrophilic (forms
a strong affinity with water
molecule)
Head
Hydrophobic (repels
water molecule)
Tails
- Enable materials to
pass through the cell,
essential for cell support,
cellular recognition,
and communication.
PROTEIN
Form specialized sites
on the cell surface that
allow the cell to
recognize each other.
CARBOHYDRATE
Holds the
phospholipid bilayer
together, keeping
them in shape, join
adjacent cell, and alter
membrane fluidity.
CHOLESTEROL
Penetrates the hydrophobic core of the cell
membrane and act as a gateway of materials
into and out of the cell.
INTEGRAL
PROTEIN
protein with carbohydrate attached
glycoprotein
lipid with carbohyrdrate attached
glycolipid
Loosely attached to membrane surface and can
facilitates communication between cells,
establishing identity between neighboring
cells.
PERIPHERAL
PROTEIN
These are membrane carbohydrates attached
either to lipid bilayer or to membrane proteins
which are essential for cellular recognition.
GLYCOPROTEIN
& GLYCOLIPIDS
move
substance in a
unidirectional
manner
depending on
concentration
gradient.
Uniport
move
two different
substances in
the cell
membrane in
different
direction at the
same time.
Antiport
