TOPIC FIVE= CELL MEMBRANES Flashcards
PLASMA MEMBRANE FUNCTIONS? (4)
BARRIER
DYNAMIC STRUCTURE
SELECTIVE PERMABILITY
TRANSPORT PROTEINS TO CONTROL PASSAGE
PHOSPHOLIPIDS?
HYDROPHILLIAC HEAD AND HYDROPHOBIC TAIL
CREATE A BILAYER
WHAT AFFECTS MEMBRANE FLUIDITY? (3)
TEMP
CHLOROSTEROL
FATTY ACID
SATURATED FATTY ACID IN FLUID?
STRAIGHT TAILS ALLOW TIGHTER PACKING SO SOLID AT LOW TEMP
UNSATURATED FATTY ACID?
KINKED TAILS SO LOOSER AND LIQUID AT LOW
CHOLESTEROL AS BUFFER?
WARM TEMPS= RESTRAINS MOVEMENT
LOW TEMPS= PREVENTS TIGHT PACKING
FLUID MOSIAC MODEL?
COLLECTIONS OF MULT DIFF PROTEINS EMBEDDED IN LIPID BILAYER, MADE OF PHOSPHOLIPIDS AND PROTEINS
INTEGRAL PROTEIN?
INSIDE BILAYER INCLUDES TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEINS
MADE OF AMINO ACID
PERIPHERAL PROTEIN?
BOUND TO SURFACE
ATTACHED TO CYTOSKELETON OR FOR CELL RECOGNITION
FUNCTIONS OF CELL SURFACE MEMBRANE PROTEINS? (6)
- SURFACE TRANSDUCTION
- TRANSPORT
- ATTACHMENT TO CYTOSKELETON AND ECM
- CELL TO CELL RECOGNITION
- INTERCELLUAR JOINING
- ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY
GLYCOCALYX?
CARBO OUTSIDE CELL COVALENTLY BOUNDED (GLYCOLIPIDS AND GLYCOPROTEINS)
HOW IS THE MEMBRANE BUILT?
GOLGI APPARATUS AND ER
TRANSPORT PROTEINS?
DOOR TO CELL, ALLOW PASSAGE ACROSS MEMBRANE
CHANNEL PROTEIN?
FACILIATATED DIFFUSION, TUNNEL FOR STUFF TO TRAVEL DOWN
CARRIER PROTEIN?
BIND TO MOLECULES AND CHANGE THEIR SHAPE TO MOVE THEM. REQUIRE ENERGY
