42
Q

cholesterol in animal cells at high temp

A

high concentration decreases fluidity

49
Q

membrane transport

A

movement of substances across a biological membrane

50
Q

passive transport

A

the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy

51
Q

active transport

A

the movement substances across a cell membrane, assisted by transport proteins and requiring energy

Moves from low concentration to high concentration

52
Q

primary active transport

A

Uses transporter protein that undergoes a conformational change, relying on ATP
Builds electrochemical gradient

53
Q

secondary active transport

A

Uses a transporter protein to move substances against electrochemical gradient
Energy comes from the charged molecules

54
Q

facilitated diffusion

A

the movement of specific molecules across a cell membrane through protein channels

55
Q

What are the three major structural components of an amino acid?

A

Side chain (R)
Amino group
Carboxyl group

56
Q

What are the four main elements found in all proteins?

A

Oxygen
Carbon
Hydrogen
Nitrogen

57
Q

The covalent bond that joins two amino acids is called a _______ bond.

peptide

58
Q

The amino acid sequence of a polypeptide is called the ___ structure

A

primary

59
Q

channel

A

Transport protein
Allows passage of ions/molecules
Can open and close

60
Q

Transport protein

A

Provides passage for ions and hydrophilic molecules

61
Q

To kill a slug you pour table salt on it, the salt forced the water out of its cell and the animal dies. Water moved out of the cell through __ because they were placed in an environment that is __ to the inside.

A

Osmosis, hypertonic

62
Q

Transporter proteins

A

Proteins that undergo a conformational change, allowing molecules to enter the cell and allowing waste to be expelled

63
Q

How does a transporter protein work?

A

The conformational change is triggered when a solute enters the pocket, and is opened to the other side

64
Q

What is a conformational change?

A

Change in shape triggered by contact
