process in whch the cell takes in macromolecules and particulate matter by forming new vesicles from the plasma membrane:
|
endocytosis
|
|
Oligosaccharides can either be covalently bonded to ____ which make _____, or ____ which are called _____
|
lipids, glycolipids, proteins, glycoproteins
|
|
if you compare seawater to a very concentrated solution of sugar, what will happen?
|
water will go from seawater to sugar, which is the hypertonic one.
|
|
why is cell-cell recognition important?
|
important in sorting of the cells into tissues and organs, rejecting foreign cells.
|
|
one way ATP can power active transport is :
|
by transferring it's last phosphate group directly to the transport protein, which can make the protein change shape so that the solute moves.
|
|
cellular eating
particle is digested after fusing w/ a lysosome. |
phagocytosis
|
|
what is turgid?
|
when in a hypotonic solution, the cell wall the membrane is against the cell wall
|
|
a cell is able to take up stuff and also exclue other stuff. what is that called?
|
selective permeability
|
|
to pump a molecules across a membrane against its gradient, the cell must expend its own metabolic energy:
|
active transport (ATP supplies energy)
|
|
pond water is _____ to a paremecium.
|
hypotonic, so they have a contractile vacuole
|
|
Sodium-Potassium Pump exchanges _______ for _________
|
sodium for potassium across the plasma membrane of animal cells.
|
|
THe main electrogenic pump of plants, bacteria and fugi is a :
|
proton pump
|
|
the control of water balance:
|
osmoregulation
|
|
the biological membrane is an example of a ______ structure, which are many molecules ordered into a higher level or organization with emergent properties byond those of the individual molecules
|
supramolecular
|
|
3 Na goes out, and 2 Potassium comes in. when does the ATP get used up?
|
phosphorylation causes the protein to change its conformation, and you have to use ATP after the 3 Na's bond to the protein. the release of phosphate is when the potassium ions to back inside.
|
|
extracellular substances that bind to the receptors are called:
|
ligands.
has a coated pit w/ a fuzzy layer of protein, and receptors on it, it is very specific |
|
some proteins can function as ________ _________ which has a stimulus that causes them to open or close.
|
gated channel, stimulus can either be elctrical or chemical.
|
|
oligosacchaires act as _____
|
ID tags
|
|
They cytoplasm of a cell is _______ in charge compared to the extracellular fluid.
|
negative
|
|
the cell secrets macromoleucles by the fusion of vesicles w/ the plasma membrane, this is called:
|
exocytosis
|
|
if 2 solutions are isotonic, water moves across a membrane at an ____ rate in both directions
|
equal
|
|
Molecules that start out on the inside face of the ER end up on the ____ face of the plasma membrane
|
outside
|
|
the voltage across a membrane is:
|
membrane potential
|
|
what 2 forces act on an ion and is called the ELECTROCHEMICAL GRADIENT?
|
chemical force (ioin's concentration gradient) and electrical force (effect of voltage on the ion movement)
|
|
what is plasmolyzed and flaccid:
|
flaccid is in isotonic solution, it is normal,and plasmolyzed is when placed in a hypertonic solution.
|
|
Membrane carbohydrates are usually branched ______ w/ fewer than 15 sugar units.
|
oligosaccharides
|
|
The tendency for molecules of any substance to spread out into the available space:
|
diffusion
|
|
neurons use exocytosis to release __________________
|
chemical signals
|
|
polar molecules and ions diffuse w/ the help of transport proteins that span the membrane:
|
facilitated diffusion
|
|
what are some functions of membrane proteins?
|
transporting solutes, pumping substances across a membrane, enzyme, signal transduction (signal causes change in protein that then relays a message to the inside of a cell), intercellular joining, cell-cell recognitions, attachemnt to the cytoskeleton and ECM.
|
|
Hydrophillic substances like ions and polar molcules avoid contact w/ the lipid bilayer by passing through __________ ________
|
transport proteins
|
|
A transport protein that generates voltagve across a membrane is called an :
|
electrogenic pump. ex. sodium-potassium pump.
|
|
how are enzymes and transport proteins alike?
|
can become saturated, it is specific to certain things, can be inhibited. one thing different: proteins speed up physical process, not chemical reactions.
|
|
the _______ core of the membrane impedes the transport of ions and polar molecules, which are _________
|
hydrophobic, hydrophilic
|
|
Diffusion is a ______ process because it decreases free energy
|
spontaneous
|
|
a substance that has been pumped across a membrane then goes back through diffusion and this can perform work. this is called:
|
cotransport.
|
|
It is not really a difference in total water concentration that causes osmosis, but a difference in the concentration of ___ water molecules that are free to cross the membrane
|
unbound
|
|
what are the 3 types of endocytosis?
|
phagocytosis
pinocytosis receptor-mediated endocytosis |
