Whyis the cell membrane also called a “fluid mosaic”?

The different molecules and components that move in the cell membrane.

What do we mean when we say that the cellmembrane (plasma membrane) is “selectively permeable”?

Boundarybetween the outside of the cell and the inside of the cell. It is selective onwhat it lets into the cell.

Whichof the following energy transfers is/are possible in living systems?

1. Light energy to chemical energy


2. Chemical energy to kinetic energy


3. Potentialenergy to kinetic energy


4. Light energy to potential energy


5. Heat to light energy

Whatis energy?

capacityto do work

Potential energy

Stored energy

Kinetic energy

Energy from motion

ATP

molecule that supplies energy for cellular work


Energycurrency of cells

First Law of Thermodynamics

-Conservationof energy


-Energycannot be created or destroyed but it can be changed from one form to another.



Second law of Thermodynamics

-Entropy


-Energy cannot be changed fromone form to another without a loss of heat energy


-Heat is the least usable form of energy, the most disorganized.

Photosynthesis

solarenergy used to convert water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates

Cellularrespiration

Carbohydratesbroken down and energy used to build ATP

Flow of energy

In ecosystems, energy flows in one direction. Some is usedand the rest is lost as heat.

Metabolic pathway

seriesof linked reactions

What are enzymes

Proteinmolecules that function as catalysts to speed up reactions

Active cite of Enzyme



Substrate



Feedbackinhibition

-When a product is in abundance, it competes with substrate for activesite


-An end product of a pathway can inhibit the first enzyme in the pathway

Enzymeinhibition

Occurs when an active enzyme is prevented from combining with itssubstrate




Examples: Cyanide is a poison because it binds to and inhibits cytochrome coxidase.§Penicillin interferes with a bacterial enzyme that kills the bacteria.

diffussion

from high to low


Passive Transport (No energy req)

HyPERtonic

The solution with the higher concentration of solutes

HyPOtonic

The solution with the lower concentration of solutes

Isotonicsolution

•Cellneither gains nor loses water•Concentrationof water same on both sides of the membrane


•0.9%saline isotonic to red blood cells

Hemolysis

the rupture or destruction of red blood cells.

Crenation

A process resulting from osmosis in which red blood cells, in a hypertonic solution, undergo shrinkage and acquire a notched or scalloped surface.

Solvent

Liquid portion of a solution

Solute

Substance dissolved in a Solvent forming a solution

Solution

contains both solvent AND solute

Osmosis

is the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Osmosis occurs through channel proteins called

aquaporins

Does Osmosis req energy

no

In osmosis do water molecules move up or down in their concentration gradient?

Down

Is Osmosis a passive or active transport Mechanism?

passive

Exocytosis

– movement out of cell

Endocytosis

- movement in

Active transport

Cells expend energy to move molecules against a concentration gradient.

Bulk Transport

Macromolecules are often too large to be moved by transport proteins

Phagocytosis

solidparticle

Pinocytosis

Liquid or small particles

Receptor-mediatedendocytosis
