Quiz 3 Flashcards
What is the second way to cross the membrane?
Carrier Mediated Transfer
What happens in CMT?
Transmembrane protein is used to transport solute across the membrane
What are the two types of CMT?
Facilitated Diffusion and Active Transport
What happens in facilitated diffusion?
CMT across the membrane down a concentration gradient. [high] -> [low]
What proteins does facilitated diffusion use?
- Chemical Proteins (aquaporins)
- Carrier Proteins (Glut 1 - loses affinity to glucose. It binds to insulin to increase affinity)
What happens during Active Transport?
T.M.P and energy move to more solute across the membrane UP a concentration gradient.
What is the 3rd way things can cross the membrane?
Endocytosis/Exocytosis
Define the process of endocytosis
It is called Phagocytosis. It is when a cell engulfs food. For example, a macrophage consumes bacteria and traps it inside a food vacuole. Exocytosis would be it releasing the bacteria.
Define the Endomembrane System
It is a group of membrane-bound organelles that produce, transport, secret, and store stuff (mostly proteins)
What organelles are part of the endomembrane system?
Nucleus, Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum, Rough E.R, and the Golgi Apparatus
What are the properties of the nucleus?
- DNA/RNA
- Dissolved molecules
- Nucleolus (builds ribosomes)
- Nucleoplasm
- Nuclear Envelope (poius)
What do ribosomes do?
Make proteins
What are free ribosomes?
They are in the cytoplasm freely and make proteins
What is the Smooth E.R.?
It produces lipids (phospholipids, steroids) and contains enzymes for detoxification. It also can push out vesicles of steroids out of the cell (exocytosis)
What is the Rough E.R.?
Is connected to the smooth E.R. and makes proteins that need compartmentalization. They also can push out proteins to the Golgi apparatus
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
It sorts, modifies, and packages proteins. It can package them into lysosomes or release them from the cell in a secretory vesicle.
What is the Mitochandria
It is a double membrane-bound organelle that transforms energy to a usable state. They came from old bacteria cells (reproduces like them) and evolved (obligatory symbiosis with cells).
