_______ are embedded in the fluid of the _____ ________

proteins, plasma membrane/lipid bilayer

The 2 proteins found in the plasma membrane are:

Integral proteins/transmembrane proteins and peripheral proteins

what do integral proteins do to the plasma membrane?

they penetrate the hydrophobic core of the membrane completely from the outside to the inside right across the bilipid layer. they also span the membrane

what do the peripheral proteins do to the plasma membrane?

peripheral proteins are associated with the inside or outside of the membrane, they are attached to the membrane but do not penetrate the hydrophobic core.

When carbohydrate roots are associated with proteins they are called:

glycoproteins

when carbohydrate roots are associated with lipids they are called:

glycolipids

what are the 4 types of transmembrane protein activity?

transport, ion channels, enzymatic activity, signal transduction

most peripheral proteins perform:

enzymatic activity

membrane structure results in:

selective permeability

what are some examples of molecules that can pass the lipid bilayer?

gases, hydrophobic molecules, small polar molecules

why can certain molecules pass the lipid bilayer?

they are lipid soluble and small in size

what are some examples of molecules and particles that cannot pass the lipid bilayer?

large polar molecules, charged molecules (ions)

what are the 3 ways that particles and molecules can move through the lipid bilayer that dont require energy?

simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis

Examples of simple diffusion:

gases, water, sugar dissolving in coffee

simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion is the movement of solute molecules of _____ ______ to an area of ______ ________. what is required?

high concentration -> low concentration. no energy is required.

what requires a semipermeable membrane and what doesnt require a semipermeable membrane to occur?

facilitated diffusion, simple diffusion.

simple diffusion can move ______ _______ substances across the membrane. facilitated diffusion moves ______ _______ substances.

lipid soluble, water soluble.

what is the process of simple diffusion?

molecule dissolves in phospholipid bilayer > diffuses across it > then dissolves in aqueous solution

what is the process of facilitated diffusion?

passage mediated by proteins > involves the movement of molecules goes from high concentration to low

what are 2 ways that facilitated diffusion can be done?

carrier proteins, channel proteins

what does "passive process" mean?

it uses no energy

what is osmosis?

the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

what determines the direction of osmosis?

the difference in total solute concentration

what determines the direction of facilitated diffusion?

by their relative concentrations inside and outside of the cell (goes from high concentration to low)

in osmosis, water diffuses across a membrane from the region of _____ ______ _______ to the region of ______ _______ _________

lower solute concentration -> higher solute concentration

in osmosis, the concentration/amount of ______ is always a direct opposite with the amount of ______ that is present

water, solute. (if there is lots of water, only a little bit of solute or if there is lots of solute, only a little bit of water.)

areas with _____ of water will move to areas with _____ water.

lots, less

3 ways that particles and molecules can move through the lipid bilayer that need energy:

active transport/processes, endocytosis/phagocytosis, and exocytosis.

what do particles and molecules that move through the lipid bilayer with energy use?

ATP

what type of active transport/process should you know?

ATP (more sodium outside, more potassium inside)

_____ is in low concentration inside a cell, high concentration outside of cell (goes from inside to outside of cell)

Sodium

______ is in high concentration outside of the cell, low concentration inside. (goes from outside to inside of cell)

Potassium

What do prokaryotic cells not have?

membrane around nuclei, membrane bound organelles, they are small, they have circular chromosomes, and no histones associated with the DNA

what do eukaryotic cells have that prokaryotic cells dont have?

membrane bound nuclei, membrane bound organelles, large cells, no peptidoglycans in cell wall, they have linear chromosomes, has histones associated with the DNA

what is biology?

the study of living things, or organisms

what are the characteristics of living things?

order and complexity


response to fluctuations in the environment


uses energy


reproduces


populations of living things evolve

what are organelles?

they are specific subcellular structures which perform specialized functions for the cell.

what is an example of a non membranous organelle?

a ribosome.

what is the nucleus composed of?

nuclear envelope (double membrane), nucleolus, and chromatin (colored body, chromosomes + histones = chromatin)

what are bacterial cell walls composed of?

a carbohydrate polymer called peptidoglycan

what are plant cell walls made of?

cellulose

what do mitochondria and chloroplasts both have, and what do they both produce?

DNA, ribosomes, inner and outer membranes, and produce ATP via chemiosmosis

what does the endomembrane system compose of?

endoplasmic reticulum and the golgi apparatus

what is the function of the cytoskeleton?

gives cell a support structure and can also be used for transportation processes.

______ proteins are associated with DNA of ______ _____ and not associated with DNA of ______ _____

histone, eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells

Dark spots on chromosomes are:

where DNA are unwrapped and copied, creating a nucleic acid called RNA

What are the dark spots on chromosomes called?

nucleoli

what is an example of an organ that has a lot of smooth endoplasmic reticulum? because why?

The liver because of the synthesis of lipids

what do animal cells not have that plant cells do?

chloroplasts, central vacuole, cell wall, and plasmodesmata

some animals are mobile that have _____

flagella (sperm)

what do plant cells not have in comparison to animal cells?

lysosomes, centrioles, flagella (but some plants have plant sperm)

what is plasmodesmata?

cytoplasmic channels that connect cytoplasm through the cell walls of adjacent plant cells and allows communication between them.

what is the difference between cell membranes and cell walls?

cell membranes are selectively permeable, cell walls allow many substances to seep through.

because animals lack a cell wall, what are they more susceptible to?

changes in solute concentration.

what is an example of an excellent material for observing plasmodesmata?

the skin of a ripe tomato
