Term
what effect does cholesterol have on the membrane?
Definition
makes less fluid by restricting movement, makes harder to pack together
Term
do membranes need to be fluid?
Definition
yes, otherwise the permeablity changes, inactive enzymes, some organisms change lipid composition to fix this
Term
do all cells have the same proteins?
Definition
no, each cell has unique functions -> unique proteins
Term
Integral proteiins
Definition
go through the hydrophobic region, can be transmembrane (all the way through), ex: integrin
Term
peripheral proteins
Definition
bound to surface, sometimes to exposed integral
Term
how are membranes held in place?
Definition
cytoplasmic side- cytoskeletion, extracellular- ECM
Term
6 major functions
Definition
Transport (channel or carrier proteins), enzymatic activity( act as parts of metabolic pathway), signal transduction (receptor for specific chemical messenger, relays message inside cell), Cell-Cell recognition (glycoproteins- "ID tags"), intercellualr joining (gap or tight junctions), attachment to ECM (helps coordinate cellular changes)
Term
What is cell-cell recognition
Definition
recognition of other cells, essential to detect foreign cells
Term
what acts as the ID?
Definition
glycoproteins or glycolipids, 15> sugars, individual to cell
Term
example of cell-cell recognition?
Definition
blood types
Term
difference between sides of membrane?
Definition
specific lipid composition, directional orientation
Term
selecively permeable
Definition
can take some in, but not all
Term
what cannot pass through?
Definition
polar, hydrophilic, charged, large molecules
Term
transport proteins
Definition
transmembrane, hydrophilic can pass without touching hydrophobic
Term
aquaporin
Definition
channel protein for water, 3 billion molecules/second
Term
channel proteins
Definition
hydrophylic channel through hydrophobic region
Term
carrier proteins
Definition
shuttle across by holding, changing shape, the releasing, specific to molecules
Term
diffusion
Definition
tendency tof a substance to spread out in avaliable space, driven by heat of molecules, sponaneous
Term
equilibrium
Definition
same on both sides, same amount cross membrane from each side
Term
concentration gradient
Definition
density of a substance decreases independent of other substances

what leaves fewer free water molecules?
Definition
when they pare part of a shell of hydration around substances
Term
what is osmosis determined by?
Definition
difference in total solute concentration
Term

Term
active transport
Definition
requires energy to move particles
Term
how does ATP power active transport
