Term
gate keeper
Definition
regulates passage of substances in and out of the cell
Term
protein lipid ratio
Definition
50 lipids for every protein
Term
phospholipid bilayer
Definition
75% basic frame work of plasma membrane has 2 parallel layers
Term
glycolipids
Definition
5% only in the layer that faces extra cellular fluid
Term
glycolipid function
Definition
cell to cell recognition and communication, regulation of cell growth and development
Term
Amphipathic
Definition
polar and non polar regions
Term
polar part
Definition
phosphate head and is hydrophylic
Term
non polar part
Definition
fatty acid tails hydrophobic tails face eachother
Term
cholesterol
Definition
20% strengthens the membrane but decreases the flexibility
Term
membrane proteins
Definition
integral and peripheral
Term
integral
Definition
extend into and through the bilayer can be removed but will destroy the cell
Term
peripheral
Definition
does not extend and can be easily detached from the membrane
Term
integral channels
Definition
has a pore where certain substances flow in and out of the cell
Term
integral transporters
Definition
moves substance from one side of membrane to the other
Term
glycocalyx
Definition
allows cells to recognize one another
Term
glycocalyx function
Definition
protects cells from being digested into extra celluar fluid
Term
glycoclayx hydrophilic nature
Definition
attracts a film on surface its slippery and helps cell flow through blood vessels
Term
peripheral receptors
Definition
identifies and attaches itself to a specific molecules also known as ligand
Term
ligand
Definition
specific molecule that binds to the receptor
Term
cell identity markers
Definition
recognition of other cells of its own kind
Term
linker
Definition
anchor filaments inside and outside of the cell. providing structural stability and shape
Term
membrane fluidity
Definition
moves sideways and changes places within layer, double bonded fatty acid tails, prevents them from packing to tightly
Term
self healing
Definition
if a needle is pushed through the membrane the puncture site heals
Term
lipid solubility
Definition
substances that are lipid soluble pas through easily, non polar hydrophobic
Term
size
Definition
most large particles cant pass
Term
charge
Definition
impermable to all charged molecules some move through
Term
concentration gradient
Definition
movement from more concentrated to less, more na+ and o2 found outside of the cell more k+ and o2 found inside of the cell
Term
electrical gradient
Definition
inner surface more negative outside surface more positive
Term
membrane potential
Definition
inside surface of the membrane
Term
voltage
Definition
form of potential energy between 20-200 millivolts
Term
passive
Definition
movement to down concentration gradient and requires no atps or energy
Term
active
Definition
movement to against concentration gradient requires atps and energy
Term
diffusion through lipid bilayer
Definition
nonpolar hydrophobic molecules, membrane not selective no change in osmotic pressure
Term
facilitated diffusion
Definition
must have transport proteins
Term
insulin
Definition
promotes insertion of glucose transporters into cell membrane
Term
atp driven pumps
Definition
to push certain ions and small molecules across the membrane
Term
mediated transport
Definition
cell expands energy to move substance against concentration gradient
Term
sodium pump
Definition
pump must work continously because of leakage 3 sodiums out and 2 potassiums in
Term
secondary active transport
Definition
coupled transport of two substances across membrane using energy supplies by primary active transport pumps
Term
symport
Definition
two substances will move in the same direction across the membrane
Term
antiport
Definition
two substances will move in opposite direction across cell membrane
Term
vesicular transport
Definition
movement of larger substances int the cell
Term
endocytosis
Definition
process that brings substances into the cell
Term
exocytosis
Definition
process of bringing substances out of the cell
Term
phagocytosis
Definition
projections of plasma membrane
Term
pseudopods
Definition
surround large particles and engulf them
Term
phagocytic vesicle
Definition
membrane bounded sac occurs during phagocytosis
Term
residual bodies
Definition
undigested material released back into extracellular fluid by exocytosis
Term
phagocytes
Definition
cells that preform phagocytosis
Term
pinocytosis
Definition
cell drinking, engulf tiny drop of extracellular fluid rather then solid particles
