Biology Chpt 7-Membrane Structure and Funtion

Terms

undefined, object
copy deck
having both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions
amphipathic (phospholipids)
Characterisitcs of Proteins of the Membrane
many different proteins in membranes, each region differs in protein type/concentration, dispersed along the membrane (move laterally)
Forms an extracellular coat on the cell, gives unique cell identity, serves as bonding site for proteins
glycocalyx
3 types of transport across membrane
simple diffusion, facilitate diffusion, active transport
substance diffuse across memberane without work by cell, high to low concentration, ex-osmosis
simple diffusion
IN CELL W/OUT CELL WALL solute concentration is higher outside cell-water leaves cell
hypertonic
IN CELL W/OUT CELL WALL solute concentrationis less outside, cell gains water and swells
hypotonic
nonpolar molecules diffuse with the help of transmembrane protein
facilitate diffusion
needs transmembrane proteins and energy to diffuse AGAINST the gradient
active transport
sodium potassium pump
phosphorelation-moving potassium and sodium inside and outside of cell
moving large molecules out of the cell otherwise not able to diffuse
exocytosis
bringing large particles into the cell unable to diffuse through
endocytosis
3 types of endocytosis
phagocytosis,pinocytosis, receptor mediated
penetrate hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer
integral proteins
span the membrane and extend only partway into the hydrophobic core
transmembrane proteins
not embedded in the lipid bilayer, appendages loosely bound to surface of membrane
peripheral proteins
channel proteins that pass water molecules through membrane in certain cells
aquaporins
