Phospholipid
Has a head and fatty acid legs. The head is hydrophilic and the feet are hydrophobic. They are considered antipathy since they are polar and non-polar

Lipid Saturation


unsaturated and saturated
Cholesterol
increases the fluidity of the membrane, prevents them from forming solid structures
Lipid Rafts
Similar lipids stick together and move through there together
Transporter
move things in and out of the cell
Receptor
will bind to molecules and instead of moving it through it just relays a message into the cell

Enzyme



can be involved in chemical reaction



Anchor
anchoring a cell to another cell or to a surface
Integral
they are in the membrane
Peripheral
outside of the membrane, hang out on the surface of the membrane
Transmembrane
they fully cross the membrane
Diffusion
high concentration to low concentration, passive movement, random movement of molecules- molecules are constantly moving
Facilitated Diffusion
proteins move things across the membrane, like larger particles
Osmosis
the diffusion of water across the membrane
Primary Transport


When we move just one type of molecule being transported to the other side of the cell

Secondary Transport
have blue protons are pumped out through primary active transport and that is electrochemical gradient where we ahve more on the outside so they transport "orange squares" to the outside. It is not using energy it is a reaction to primary transport
Electrochemical Gradient
the difference of charged molecules on the outside and the inside of the cell. The inside is usualy more negatively charged than the outside. Creates a lot of potential energy.
Contrast how cells with and without a cell wall maintain their shape.
Cells have a cytoskeleton that can help them maintain their shape. Plant cells have vacuoles and if the vacuoles fill up with water it puts pressure on the cell membrane. A normal cell/ a cell without a cell membrane, could potentially burst.
Exocytosis
things exiting the cell
Endocytosis
the cell will surround the molecules (whatever that may be) and bring them to the inside
Nucleus
stores genetic material
Rough ER


Makes proteins


Smooth ER

makes lipids

Golgi Apparatus



involved in modifying and labeling our proteins. Sometimes referred to as the post office. It labels them and tells them where to go.
Lysosomes
involved in breaking down molecules or "digesting" the molecules
Mitochondria
where we make energy
Chloroplasts

Used for photosynthesis
