|
Condensation Reaction |
A reaction in which two molecules are joined together and water is removed. |
|
|
|
Hydrolysis Reaction |
A reaction in which two molecules are split apart with the addition of water. |
|
|
|
Monomer |
A small molecule which can bind with other monomers to form a polymer. |
|
|
|
Polymer |
A large molecule made of many monomers bonded together. |
|
|
|
Hydrogen Bond |
A weak bond or interaction that can occur when a slightly negatively charged atom is bonded to a slightly positively charged hydrogen atom. This can happen in molecules such as H2O as it is a polar molecule. (Subscript) |
|
|
|
Polar Bond |
Where the charge is not equally distributed across the particle. |

|
Roles Of Membranes At The Surface Of The Cell |
Separates the cells components from its external environment. Regulates transport of materials into and out of the cell. May contain enzymes involved in specific metabolic pathways. Has antigens to prevent the immune system from attacking it. May release chemicals to signal other cells. Contains receptors and a site for cell communication or signalling. May be the site of chemical reactions. |

|
The Role Of Membranes Within The Cells (Mitochondria) |
Mitochondria have folded membranes that give a large surface area for some of the reactions of aerobic respirations and to localise some of the enzymes needed for respiration. |
|
|
|
Roles Of Membranes Within The Cell (Chloroplast) |
Inner membranes of chloroplasts, called thylakoid membranes, house chlorophyll. Some reactions of photosynthesis occur on this membrane. |
|
|
|
Roles Of Membranes Within The Cell (S. Intestines Epithelial Cells) |
Plasma membranes of the small intestine epithelial cells sometimes contain digestive enzymes which aid in the final stages of breaking down certain types of sugar. |
|
|
|
Fluid Mosaic Model |
The membrane is made of a phospholipid bilayer with proteins scattered through it, which is where the "mosaic" comes from. The lipid molecules can change place with eachother and some proteins have the ability to move, which is where the "fluid" label comes from. |
