Symport

13
Q
  • Proteins may
    have a binding
    site that detects
    external signals
    and transmit
    them into the
    cell to trigger
    responses.
A

Receptor

13
Q

Protein may act
as an enzymes to
catalyze reactions
at the membrane
surface, such as
energy
production.

A

Enzymatic Activity

13
Q
  • Some glycoproteins
    serve as
    identification tags
    that are specifically
    recognized by other
    cells.
A

Cell to cell
Recognition

14
Q

Membrane proteins
help cells adhere to
each other or to the
extracellular matrix,
which is essential in
tissue formation.

A

Cell Adhesion or
Intercellular joining

14
Q

Refers to the different ways on how
materials are being transported into and
out of the cell.
* These mechanism is primarily driven by
transport proteins embedded in the cell
membrane, providing a living channel
for molecules to pass through the
phospholipid bilayer.

A

CELL TRANSPORT

14
Q

are substance
that needs to be dissolved,
catalyzed or broken down.

A

SOLUTE

14
Q

substance that
will dissolve the solute.

A

SOLVENT

14
Q

is a
measurement of how the
concentration of solute
changes from one place to
another.

A

CONCENTRATION
GRADIENT

14
Q

refers
to the movement of
molecules across a
membrane that does
not require the input
of energy.
* Molecules move from
higher concentration
to lower
concentration.

A

Passive transport

14
Q
  • Movement of small,
    nonpolar molecules directly
    through the lipid bilayer.
  • Molecules move from areas
    of high concentration to low
    concentration without the
    need for transport
    proteins.
  • Example, oxygen and
    carbon dioxide.
A

Simple Diffusion

14
Q

Transport of larger or
polar molecules across
the membrane
through specific
carrier or channel
proteins.
* Examples, glucose and
ions.

A

Facilitated Diffusion

15
Q
  • Movement of water
    molecules through a
    semipermeable
    membrane.
  • Water moves from
    areas of low solute
    concentration to
    areas of high solute
    concentration.
A

Osmosis

16
Q

is a type
of vesicular transport
where the movement
of large particles into
the cells happens
through vesicle
formation.

A

Endocytosis

17
Q
  • “Cell-eating”
  • The cell membrane extends
    around the material, forming
    pseudopodia or membrane
    projections that engulf the
    particle. The particle is then
    enclosed in a large vesicle
    known as a phagosome,
    which fuses with a lysosome
    to digest the material.
A

PHAGOCYTOSIS

18
Q
  • “Cell-drinking”
  • The cell membrane invaginates
    to form small vesicles filled with
    extracellular fluid. Unlike
    phagocytosis, it is non-specific
    and captures whatever is in the
    fluid, such as nutrients or small
    molecules.
A

PINOCYTOSIS

19
Q

is a type of active transport where cells
expel materials from within the cell to the external
environment. This process involves vesicles that fuse
with the plasma membrane to release their contents
outside the cell. Exocytosis is essential for removing
waste, secreting hormones, and maintaining the cell
membrane. It requires energy (ATP) to transport
substances.

A

Exocytosis

20
Q

the solute is higher outside than the inside of
the cell. So, water moves out and the cell will shrink.

A

hypertonic solution,

21
Q

there is an equal concentration of solute inside
and outside of the cell. So, the movement of water stays the same.

A

isotonic solution,

22
Q

the solute is higher inside than the outside.
So, water moves into the cell until it swell and burst.

A

hypotonic solution,
