Cell and cell membrane Flashcards
(26 cards)
Cytoskelton
Function: cellular structure,movement of organelle and cellular adhesion
Cell walls
Function: provide support and protection
Glycocalyx/ capsule
Function: Protect enviroment, immune defense, attaching with other cells
Proteins in plasma membrane
Intergral: channels, pores, carriers
Peripheral: enzymes, intracellular signal mediators
Membrane proteins
Intergral—-> firmly inserted into membrane
Periphral——> loosely attached to intergral proteins are embedded in lipid bilayer
Passive transport
no input if energy required: High to low
Active transport
Requires energy
Simple diffusion
nonpolar lipid- soluble substances diffuses directly through phospholipid layers. (ex.o2 through phospholipid bilayer)
Facilitated diffusion
certain lipophobic molecules(glucose, amino acids) use carrier proteins or channel proteins( ex. movement of glucose into cells)
Facilitated diffusion- carrier protiens
transmembrane integral proteins transport specific polar molecules (. \/——–>/. )
Facilitated diffusion- channel proteins
hydrophilic amino acids line inside of channel, hydrophobic amino acids outside channel
Leakage channels
Always open
Gated Channels
controlled by chemical or electrical signal
Osmosis
movement of solvent across a selectively permeable membrane (ex. movement of H2O through phospholipid bilayer)
osmolarity
measure of total conc. of solute particles
Tonicity
ability of a solution to cause a cell to shrink or swell
Isotonic
solution with same solute conc. as that of cytosol ( cell stays same)
Hypertonic
solution having a greater solute conc. then cytosol (cell shrinks)
Hypotonic
solution have a lesser solute conc. then cytosol (cell expands)
Hypernatremia
increased water and sweat loss——> needs isotonic
Hyponatremia
large water ingestion——> hypertonic solution needed
Active processes
uses ATP to move solutes across a living plasma membrane
Endocytosis
bring particles into the cell
Exocytosis
secondary lysosome or secretory vesicle from golgi
