Plasma Membrane |
8 nm thick |
|
Cholesterol Within the Animal Cell Membrane: |
Cholesterol reduces membrane fluidity at moderate temperatures by reducing phospholipid movement, but at low temperatures it hinders solidification by disrupting the regular packing of phospholipids. |
|
Integral Proteins |
Penetrate the hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer. Many are transmembrane proteins, which completely span the membrane. The hydrophobic region of an integral protein consists of one or more stretches of nonpolar amino acids |
|
A phospholipid |
amphipathic molecule, meaning is has both a hydrophilic region and a hydrophobic region. |
|
Fluid Mosaic Model |
The membrane is a fluid structure with a “mosaic” of various proteins embedded in or attached to a double layer (bilayer) of phospholipids. |
|
Six Major Functions Performed by Proteins of the Plasma Membrane |
Transport Enzymatic Activity Signal Transduction Cell-Cell Recognition Intercellular Joining Attachment to the Cytoskeleton and Extracellular Matrix (EXM) |
|
Mosaic |
small pieces |
|
HIV |
Can infect a cell that has CCR5 on its surface that is most people
Cannot affect a cell lacking CCR5 in resistant individual |
|
Passive Transport |
the diffusion of a substance across a membrane with no energy investment |
|
Diffusion |
tendency for molecules to spread out evenly into the available space along a concentration gradient |
|
Although each molecule in passive transport moves randomly |
diffusion of a population of molecules may be directional |
|
Dynamic equilibrium |
Many molecules cross the membrane in one direction |
|
Passive transport |
substance diffuse down their concentration gradient |
|
Concentration gradient |
change/difference in the concentration of solutes in a solution between regions |
|
No work must me done to move substances down the concentration gradient in passive transport |
N/A |
|
The diffusion of a substance across a biological membrane |
passive transport |
|
what factors can influence the rate diffusion |
N/A |
|
Osmosis |
the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane |
|
water diffuses across a membrane from |
the region of lower solute concentration to the higher solute concentration until the solute concentration is equal on both sides. |
|
lower solute concentration |
hypotonic |
|
higher solute concentration |
hypertonic |
|
tonicity |
the ability of a surrounding solution to cause a cell to gain or lose water based on osmosis.. 3 types: Isotonic, Hypertonic, Hypotonic |
|
Isotonic Solution |
Solute Concentration is the same as the inside, not net water movement across the plasma membrane |
|
Hypertonic Solution |
Solute concentration is greater than that inside the cell; cell loses water |
|
Hypotonic Solution |
Solute concentration is less than the inside of cell, cell gains water |
|
Why doesn't the plant cells burst in a hypnotic solution |
N/A |
|
Plasmolysis |
is in a hypertonic environment where plant cells lose water and eventually the membrane pulls away from the wall.. |
|
Passive transport |
Aided by protein |
|
Facilitated diffusion |
transport proteins speed the passive movement of molecules across the plasma membrane |
|
Channel protein |
provide corridors that allow a specific molecule or ion to cross the membrane |
|
Channel proteins include: |
Aquaprotein: for facilitated diffuse of water Ion channels that open or close in response to a stimulus (gated channels) |
|
Active transport |
moves substances against their concentration gradients |
|
Active transport requires |
energy usually in the form of ATP adenosine triphosphate |
|
Active transport s performed |
by a specific carrier proteins embedded in the membranes |
|
Active transport allows |
cells to maintain concentration gradients that differ from their surrounding |
|
Sodium-potassium pump |
type of active transport system and is involved in the conduction of nerve impulses |
|
bulk transport |
across the plasma membrane occurs by Exocytosis and Endocytosis |
|
Small molecules (oxygen and carbon dioxide) and water enter or leave the cell though the lipid bilayer or via transport proteins |
N/A |
|
Large molecules |
Polysaccharides and proteins cross the membrane in bulk via vesicles |
|
Bulk transport |
requires energy |
|
Exocytosis |
transport vesicles migrate to the membrane, fuse with it, and release the contents |
|
Exocytosis |
Secretory cells use it to export products |
|
Endocytosis |
the cell takes in macromolecules by forming vesicles from the plasma membrane |
|
Endocytosis |
is a several of exocytosis involving different proteins |
|
Two types of endocytosis |
Phagocytosis: cellular eating Receptor-mediated endocytosis |
|
LDL |
low density lipoprotein and transports insoluble cholesterol |
|
Energy of Life: Living Cell |
Cell extracts energy and applies energy yo perform work |
|
Organism Metabolism |
transforms matter and energy subject to the laws of thermodynamics |
|
Metabolism |
the totality of an organisms chemical reaction |
|
Intermediary meatabolism |
the chemical reactions that occur in cell |
|
Metabolic pathways |
are virtually identical in all living cells |
|
Metabolic pathways |
begin with a specific molecule and end with a product. each steps catalyzed by a specific enzyme |
|
Forms of energy |
kinetic: motion heat(thermal energy): random movement atoms potential energy: matter have cause of location chemical energy: potential energy available for release in a chemical reaction |
|
Energy |
can be converted from one another but not destroyed or lost |
|
Thermodynamics |
the study of energy transformation |
|
Closed system |
isolated: like liquid in a thermo is isolated from its surroundings |
|
open system |
energy and matter can be transferred between the system and its surrounding |
|
Are cells, organisms, the earth, universe open systems |
yes |
|
First law of thermodynamics |
the energy of the universe is constant |
|
the fist law is called |
principle of conservation of energy |
|
First law of thermodynamics |
energy changes form : chemical energy |
|
second law of thermodynamics |
during every energy transfer or transformation some energy is reusable and is often lost as heat every energy transfer or transformation increases entropy (disorder of universe) |
|
