_______ 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. |
|
