Q

What is the function of glycolipids

A

Recognition site
Helps maintain membrane stabablilty
Helps cells attach to each other

21
Q

What is the function of glycoproteins

A

Recognition site
Helps attach to cells to form tissue
Used in cell recognition

22
Q

What does the model name fluid mosaic mean

A

Fluid - because the individual phospholipids can move laterally and change places with each other

Mosaic - when seen under above looks line a mosaic of phospholipids

23
Q

Name some organelles that have an internal membrane

A

Mitochondria , chloroplast , vacuole , nucleus

24
Q

What are the five ways that’s substances can move across a membrane and say if there passive or active

A

Passive - does not require atp
Simple diffusion
Facilitated
Osmosis

Active - require atp
Active transport
Co-transport

25
Q

What is the definition of diffusion

A

The movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration

26
Q

What are the six factors that effect diffusion

A

Temperature - more kenetic energy

Concentration gradient - increases rate of diffusion

Stirring - increases kenetic energy

Surface area - more chance of molecules moving through

Diffusion distance

Size of molecule - smaller molecules diffuse more quickly

27
Q

Why can O2 and CO2 pass through cell membrane

A

As they are lipid soluable

28
Q

What is the definition of osmosis

A

Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a solution of high water potential to a lower water potential through a selective permeably membrane

29
Q

What are the similarities and differences of osmosis and diffusion

A

Sim
Go through selective permeable membrane
Passive no energy

Differences
High to low water potential
Only involves water

30
Q

What does hypertonic mean in osmosis

A

Lots of solute , therefore low water potential

31
Q

What does hypotonic mean in osmosis

A

Little solute therefore high water potential

32
Q

What does isotonic

A

At an equalibriam

33
Q

Is something has a high water potential it’s water molecules are

A

Free

34
Q

What does free water molecules mean

A

The amount of non bound water molecules that have the potential to move across a semi permeable membrane .

35
Q

Pure water has a Kpa of

A

-0

36
Q

What is a protoplast

A

Refers to the entire cell , excluding the cell wall , is not in a animal cell as it does not have a cell wall

37
Q

In animal cell
Water potential out side: hypotonic
Net movement of water is ?
State of cell

A

Net move : into the cell
State of cell: burst

38
Q

In animal cell
Water potential out side: isotonic
Net movement of water is ?
State of cell

A

Net move: none / equilibrium
State of cell : normal

39
Q

In animal cell
Water potential out side: hypertonic
Net movement of water is ?
State of cell

A

Net move : out of cell
State of cell : shrunk / shrivelled

40
Q

In plant cell/ bacteria
Water potential out side: hypotonic
Net movement of water is ?
State of cell
Protoplast

A

Net movement: into the cell (turgid )
State of cell: turgid
Protoplast : touching cell wall

41
Q

In plant cell/ bacteria
Water potential out side: isotonic
Net movement of water is ?
State of cell
Protoplast

A

Net movement : equilibrium
State of cell : flaccid
Protoplast : barely touching the cell wall

42
Q

In plant cell/ bacteria
Water potential out side: hypertonic
Net movement of water is ?
State of cell
Protoplast

A

Net move : out of cell
State : plasmolysed
Protoplast not touching cell wall vacoul shrunk

43
Q

What does incipient plasmolysis mean

A

Around 50% of the plan cells are plasmolyed

44
Q

Describe the net movement of water in
Flaccid
Turgid
Plasmollyed
Plant cells

A

Flaccid - no net movement
Turgid - water is moving into cell
Plasmolyed - water is moving out of cell

45
Q

Describe a channel protein

A

They transport SMALL polar and charged molecules
They are gated so that can be shut off

46
Q

Describe a carrier protein

A

Allows larger polar molecules such as sugars and amino acids to pass through
Has a specific binding site and changes shape when it binds

47
Q

What type of diffusion is channel and carrier proteins
And do they require atp ?

A

Facilitated
No they do not require atp

48
Q

Describe a protein pump

A

They are specific pumps that work against the concentration gradient and require atp

49
Q

Draw out co-transport

A
