What is the orientation of phosphlipids in the cell membrane
In bilayer structure with heads on the outside.
What is the diameter of the pores?
8 angstroms.
What is the structure of the pores?
Hollow tubes of transport proteins - aquaporins.
What are the integral protein components of the cell membrane?
Nonpolar amino acids.
What are the peripherial protein components of the cell membrane?
Proteins bound to surface of cell membrane.
What is the selective permeability to non-polar molecules?
Pores controls what and how much something enters a cell.
What is the selective permeability to molecules smaller than 8 angstrom?
They can pass through easily.
What is the selective permeability to molecules larger than 8 angstrom?
They cannot pass through, enter by pushing through the phospholipids.
What is the selective permeability of charged particles over 8 angstrom?
They are too large to pass through pores and charged particles cannot pass past the phospholipids.
Define Endocytosis
Process by which liquids or
small solid particles are
taken into a cell in the form of small vesicles that are produced through the invagination of the cell membrane.
What is the mechanism of pinocytosis?
type of endocytosis where the cell ingests extracelluar fluid and its solutes
macromolecules
What is an example of particle types or structures ingested during pinocytosis?
protein molecules dissolved in extracellular fluid
What is receptor mediated Endocytosis?
enables cell to take in specific substances
What is Exocytosis?
active transport process to secrete macromolecules from cells
What purpose(s) is Exocytosis employed?
secretion of insulin, release of neurons, proteins and carbohydrates
