Term
Selective Permiability
Definition
a property of biological mebranes, where the membrane can regulate the passage of certain subtances
Term
Integral Protein
Definition
a trnsmembrane protein that goes through the enitre membrane
Term
Peripheral Protein
Definition
a membrance attached to an integral protein that doe not go through the cell membrane
Term
Glycolipids
Definition
a lipid attached to a carb
Term
Glycoproteins
Definition
a protein attached to a protein
Term
Transport Proteins
Definition
a transmembrane protein that allows for a single protein (or ometimes a group of cosely related proteins) cross the plasma membrane
Term
Aquaporins
Definition
a transport protein that facilitates osmosis
Term
Concentration Gradients
Definition
density of a substance where relative areas of hig hand low exist
Term
Tonicity
Definition
causes cell to gain or lose water (ability to)
Term
Isotonic
Definition
relatively equal amounts of water
Term
Hypertonic
Definition
relatively unqueal amounts of waret, too little water
Term
Hypotonic
Definition
relatively unequal amounts of water, too much water
Term
Osmoregulation
Definition
control of water balance in a cell
Term
Turgid
Definition
plant cell in hypotonic
Term
Flaccid
Definition
lacking fullness, PLANT CELL WITH IN iostonic
Term
Plasmolysis
Definition
cell loses water in a hypertonic enviornment (plant!!)
Term
Facilitated Diffusion
Definition
spontanious movement of molecules or ions across plasma mem with assistance from transport proteins
Term
Ion Channels
Definition
transmembrace protein that allows 1 ion to move DOWN its gradient
Term
Gated Channels
Definition
transmembrane protein
Term
Sodium-Potassium Pump
Definition
moves sodium out of cell, moves potassium into cell VS EACH GRADIENT
Term
Membrane Potential
Definition
RANGE -50 --> -200 MILIVOLTS, voltage across membrane
ITSL IKE A BETTERY
Term
Electrochemical Gradient
Definition
gradient of an ion, affected by concentration difference across membrane (chemical froce) and its tendency to move relatice to the plasma mem (electrica force)
Term
Electrogenic Pump
Definition
ion pump protein that generates voltage along the plasma membrane
Term
Proton Pump
Definition
active transport pump that uses ATP to transport H+ out of the cell (vs. gradient) generating membrane potential enegy in the process
Term
Cotransport
Definition
when n ATP powered pump indirectly drive several other solutes (go in together, like H+ and sucrose)
Term
Exocytosis
Definition
the cellular secretion of waste, vesicles fuse with plasma mem
Term
Phagcytosis
Definition
a type of endocytosis in which large particulate substances are taken up by a cell USES PSEUDOPODS!!!
Term
Pinocytosis
Definition
a type of endocytosis in which the cell ingests a large amount of extracellular fluid
Term
Receptor-Mediated Endcytosis
Definition
the movement of specific molecules via engulfing an extracellular substance with receptors
Term
Ligands
Definition
a molecule that binds to another molecule (usually a larger one)help w/ receptor mediated endocytosis (attach to receptors!!)
Term
Osmosis
Definition
the movement of water across a selectively permiable membrane
Term
Endocytosis
Definition
Cellular uptake of biological molecules and particulate matter via formation of new vesicles from the plasma membrane.
Term
Active Transport
Definition
NO NEEDS ENERGY
Term
Passive Transport
Definition
NEEDS ENERGY
Term
rule of diffuion
Definition
moe to less concentration from high concentration
Term
lysed

Term
shriveled
Definition
animal cell is hypertonic soln
