Transport Across Membrsne Mauuran Master Flashcards
Membrane
Phospholipid bilaYer
Hydrophobic tail points inwards and hydrophilic heads on the surface
FlUid mosaic structure en
Flexible
Proteins glycoprotein glycolipids cholesterol
WhY phospholipid is hydrophobic
Carbons and hydrogen
Non poor
Hydrophobic
Bilayer
Phospholipid lieorientsted towards hydrophilic
F.A oreitnated away from water -hydrophobic
-stabilising of structure
-can from food mosaic
And other compounds
Polar
Y ever distribution of charge
Extrinsicboroteins
-peripheral proteins
-transports -faculkitate diffusion
-enzymes cascade of reactions
Respiration +phyosynthesise
Cholesterol
Increase h bonds between neighbouring phospholipids
So increase stability of membrane
What membrane proteins act as
Enzymes
Hormone receptors
Molecule for cell recognition
Antigen
Centre of phospholipid have what properties
Hydrophobic
Does not allow water soluble molecules through
Small non polar substances move
Simple diffusion
Pass directl through phospholipid bilaYer
Small non polar
Oxygen or carbon dioxide
High to low conc
Facilitated diffusion
Large water soluble
Carrier or channel proteins
Carrier proteins have binding sites for molecules like glucose
Only allow glusocse to pass
Channel proteins help diffusion of ions in or out of the cells
