what are some functions of the plasma membrane

- isolates the cell's contents from the external environment


- it regulates the exchange of essential substances


- allows communication between cells


- creates attachments within and between cells


- regulates biochemical reactions

indicates that each membrane consists of a mosaic of different proteins that constantly shift and flow within the double layer of phospholipids

fluid mosaic model

the fluid portion of the membrane

phospholipid bilayer

what two parts make up phospholipids?

- a polar, hydrophilic head


- 2 non polar, hydrophobic cells

water-soluable substances ______ easily pass phospholipid bilayers



cannot



very small molecules such as ___, ____, and ___ ___ as well as larger, lipid-soluable molecules can pass through the phospholipid bilayer

water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide

___ stabilizes membranes, affecting fluidity and reducing permeability

cholesteral

____ are embedded within, or attached to the phospholipid bilayer

proteins

many proteins have attached _____ (____) on their outermost membrane surface

carbohydrates (glycoproteins)

list the 5 types of membrane proteins

1. receptor proteins


2. recognition proteins


3. enzymatic proteins


4. attachment proteins


5. transport proteins



what is the job of receptor proteins

trigger cellular responses upon binding of specific molecules, such as hormones sent by other chemicals

what is the job of recognition proteins

they are glycoproteins that serve as identification tags on the surface of a cell

what are the two types of transport proteins

- channel proteins


- carrier proteins

what do channel proteins do

form channel whose central pores allow specific ions or water molecules to pass through the membrane

what do carrier proteins do

they have binding sites that can temporarily attach to specific molecules on one side of the membrane and then move them through the membrane to the other side

what are the two types of movement across the plasma membrane

- passive transport


- energy-requiring transport (active transport)

what is passive transport

is the diffusion of substances across cell membranes down concentration gradients

what is energy-requiring (active) transports

transport that requires the use of cellular energies

what is simple diffusion

substances move down their concentration gradients across a membrane


examples: water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and lipid-soluable molecules

what is it called when water soluble molecules like ions, amino acids, and sugars diffuse down their concentration gradients with the aid of channel and carrier transport proteins

facilitated diffusion

list the 3 different osmotic solutions

- hypotonic


- hypertonic


- isotonic

what does hypotonic mean

means theres more water outside then inside, cell gains water


SHAWN GETS BIGGER



what does hypertonic mean

means theres more water inside than outside, cell loses water


SHAWN GETSE SMALLER



what does isotonic mean

means theres equal amounts on both sides, no change in cell volume


SHAWN IS JUST RIGHT,like he usually is

energy requiring transport includes, ____, ____, and ____

active tranport, endocytosis, and exocytosis

during ___, membrane proteins use energy to move molecules or ions across plasma membrane ___ their concentration gradients

active transport, against

active proteins are often referred to as ___

pumps

cells engulf particles or fluids by ____

endocytosis

particles engulfed by endocytosis are transported within the cell inside ___

vesicles

what are the 3 types of endocytosis

- phagocytosis


- receptor-mediated endocytosis


- pinocytosis

what happens during pinocytosis

"cell drinking" moves liquids into the cell

what happens during receptor-mediated endocytosis

moves specific molecules into the cell

what happens during phagocytosis

"cell eating" moves large particles into the cell

____ moves particles out of the cell

exocytosis

cells use energy to dispose of undefeated particles of waste or to secrete substances into the extracellular fluid by ___

exocytosis

___ attach cells together

desmosomes

___ are found where cells need to adhere tightly together under the stresses of movement

desmosomes


examples: skin, intestine, urinary bladder

___ make cell attachments waterproof

tight junctions

what is found where tubes and sacs must hold contents without leaking

tight junctions


examples: skin, urinary bladdes

where are gap junctions found?

in animals

where are plasmodesmata found?

in plants

cell-to-cell protein channels allowing for passage of hormones, nutrients, and ions in animal cells are called ___

gap junctions

plant cells have holes in the walls of adjacent cells forming cytoplasmic connections called ____

plasmodesmata
