Bio Ch. 5 Flashcards
(40 cards)
Phospholipids arranged in a
Bilayer
Fluid mosaic model:
mosaic of proteins floats in or on the fluid lipid bilayer like boats on a pond
Cellular membranes have four components
- Phospholipid bilayer
- Transmembrane proteins
Flexible matrix, barrier to permeability. - Interior protein network
- Cell surface markers
Studying the cell membrane
The transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM)
Phospholipids
Structure consists of:
-Glycerol
- Two fatty acids attached to the glycerol.
1. Nonpolar
2. hydrophobic (“water-fearing”). - - - - -Phosphate group attached to the glycerol.
1. Polar
2. hydrophilic (“water-loving”).
hydrophilic
(“water-loving”)
Glycerol
a 3-carbon polyalcohol.
(- Two fatty acids attached to the glycerol)
Phospholipids Spontaneously forms a
Bilayer
Phospholipid bilayer structure
-Hydrocarbon tails are on the inside.
-Polar head groups are on the outside (toward water).
Phospholipid bilayer
-Bilayers are fluid
-Hydrogen bonding of water to itself and to polar heads, holds the layers together
-Individual phospholipids and unanchored proteins can move through the membrane
Membrane proteins
- Transporters
- Enzymes
- Cell-surface receptors
- Cell-surface identity markers
- Cell-to-cell adhesion proteins
- Attachments to the cytoskeleton
Structure relates to
function
- Have common structural features related to their role as membrane proteins
Peripheral proteins
Anchoring molecules attach membrane protein to surface.
Pores
- Extensive nonpolar regions within a transmembrane protein can create a pore through the membrane
- Interior is polar and allows water and small polar molecules to pass through the membrane.
Passive transport is
movement of molecules through the membrane in which
Passive transport
- No energy is required
- Molecules move in response to a concentration gradient.
Diffusion is
movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration
Diffusion
Will continue until the concentration is the same in all regions.
Active transport
Movement of molecules or ions across a cell membrane
From a region of lower concentration to a region of higher common
Cells obtain energy during
Cellular respiration
Oxidation
Removal of hydrogens from a molecule
Hydrogen consists of a 1 proton and an 1 electron, so what happens during oxidation
1 proton and electron are removed
Sucrose products
Glucose and fructose
Metabolism
