Membranes that are made of phospholipid bilayers
plasma membrane, golgi apparatus, mitochondria, vesicle, ER, peroxisome, lysosome, and nucleus
Most abundant phospholipid
Phosphatidylcholine
Stiffens plasma membrane
Cholesterol
What shape do proteins that go through the membrane have?
alphahelical
Proteins anchored to the cytoskeleton
anchor proteins
White blood cells
Neutrophills
What can go through membranes?
small hydrophobic molecules (02, CO2, N2, benzene) and small uncharged polar molecules (water, gylcerol, ethanol)
What cannot go through membranes?
Larger uncharged polar molecules (amino acids, glucose, nucleotides) and ions (H+, Na+, HCO3-, K+, Ca2+)
Creates a solute binding site.
Carrier protein
Creates an acqueous pore.
channel protein
Requires no energy- channel and carrier
Passive
Requires energy- carrier protein when moving things from low to high conc.
active
Can switch back and forth between conformations
carrier proteins
Concentrations gradients can also be considered...
electrochemical gradients
The three types of transporters
Coupled transporter, ATP driven pump, Light driven pump
Na+/K+ pump
sodium goes against its gradient, but K+ is going with its gradient
Name the steps of the Na+/K+ pump
step 1: sodium binding
step 2: burning ATP by phosphorylating the pump
step 3: releases sodium into extracellular space to make potassium binding site
step 4: potassium binds and dephosphorylates pump
step 5: dumps potassium out
uniport
move one kind of molecule
symport
same direction -active
antiport
different direction
Gradient that is a coupled transport.
Na+ gradient
Gradient used for signaling
Ca2+ gradient
Gradient used in mitochondria and chloroplasts
H+ gradient
How do cells maintain homeostasis?
the use of pumps
Osmosis
diffusion of water to areas with less water. the water moves to dilute things.
K+ channel is selective which means what?
Only lets K+ through
How do plants move?
Osmotic pressure
Membrane potential must change to open.
voltage gated channel
Ligands bind to channel and change the conformation to open it
Ligand-gated channel
Physcial movement open the channel
Mechanically gated channel
One cell produces the hormone and it travels and hits a receptor of another cell that is specific for that one hormone
endocrine
no bloodstream involved because it is local influence
paracrine
Neurotransmitter from one cell is bound up by a receptor in another cell
neuronal
Two membrane bound cells need to come in contact
Contact-dependent
Limits cell type and limits growth, can do many things,many signals reach a single cell
Contact-dependent signaling
Moves things with actin
cytoskeletal protein
altered metabolism
metabolic enzyme
Controls how the blood vessels contract or expand
nitrous oxide
changes and relaxes smooth muscle cells which cause the blood vessels to expand
nitric oxide
small hydrophobic steroids
cross membranes
When you are stressed out, what goes up and knocks down your immune system?
cortisol
enzyme is a part of a molecule-dimer and receptor come together;kinase
enzyme linked receptor
signaling by phosphorylation
activates enzyme
GTP binding
activates pathways
Flows in through a channel wave of calcium, stops other sperm from getting in an egg
Ca2+ signal
Fast pathways (sec to min)
signal binding a receptor and direct change occurs
slow pathways (min to hrs)
gene expression; make RNA, make protein
stages 1 of metabolism
breakdown of macromolecules into their simple molecules; happens in mouth and intestines
stage 2 of metabolism
breakdownof simple subunits; happens outside of the cytoplasm
stage 3 of metabolism
complete oxidation of acetyle CoA to H20 and CO2 accompanied by production of large amounts of ATP in mitochondria
fermentation
leads to alcohol and CO2
action potentials
changein membrane potentials
mechanical
mouth and stomach
enzymatic
starts in mouth ends in celss
NaDH
carries e- to ETC
FaDH
doesnt use e- for ETC
glycogen
short term storage
fatty acid
store more energy more efficiently/long term
ETC
uses e- from NaDH to produce ATP
gycolysis
builds other molecules besides ATp
