Unit 4: Cellular Processes - Entry & Exit Tickets Flashcards
What materials do animal cells need to move into the cell?
Water, oxygen, proteins imported from other cells, and nutrients
Selectively permeable structures do what?
Allow some materials in or out of the cell.
The cell membrane is composed of which macromolecues?
Proteins, lipids, carbohydrates
What cell membrane protein allowed the white blood cells to find and destroy the bacteria?
Glycoproteins
Why was the WBC able to surround and ingest the bacteria?
The cell membrane is fluid and movable, cholesterol molecules in the cell membrane allowed for the fluid mosaic
How do plasma membranes affect homeostasis?
Allowing messages and enzymes to cause the cell functions to change, allowing materials to pass through the membrane
Attachment
Connect cytoskeleton to extracellular matrix
Receptor
Causes a change inside of the cell due to signal transduction
Junction
Binds cells to other cells
Transport
Allows polar molecules to cross the membrane
Enzyme
Causes a sequential reaction to occur
Glycoprotein
Identifies the cell, organ, or individual; has attached carbohydrate chain
What cell membrane proteins would a WBC use to identify a bacteria as foreign?
Glycoprotein
What two features of the cell membrane allowed the WBC to fold around the bacteria and engulf and destroy it?
Fluid mosaic, cholesterol makes the bilayer movable
Remembering the polarity of the cell membrane, which molecules would require transport molecules to cross a membrane?
Amino acids (polar), polysaccharides (large), and water (polar)
