Q

Function of cell membrane proteins

A

Transport across membrane, site of binding in the ECF, formation of cell-to-cell junctions, provision of enzymes with active sites, identify cell type or cell origin

21
Q

Simple diffusion

A

Distribution of a substance in a solvent medium to it become equal throughout

22
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

Requires a carrier system I’m the membrane to assist with crossing

23
Q

Carrier system

A

Transmembrane protein that binds the diffusing molecule on one side and transfers it to the other side

24
Q

Diffusion

A

Goes down concentration gradient

25
Diffusion also
Can regulate electrical gradient
26
Osmosis
Movement of water across membranes
27
Aquapoains
Transmembrane proteins responsible for the movement of water
28
Osmotic pressure
Force of moving water from the solution on the side of lower solute concentration to the higher side
29
Three types of Tonicity
Isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic
30
Isotonic
Osmotic pressure of the same on both sides
31
Hypotonic
Lower osmotic pressure in the interstitial fluid
32
Hypertonic
Lower osmotic pressure inside the cell
33
Active transport
Movement of some molecules or ions across the cell membrane against the gradients
34
Ion pumps
Membrane proteins that use active transport
35
Endocytosis
Movement or exterior cell membrane to surround extracellular materials and move across the membrane
36
Phagocytosis
Engulfing large amounts of dissolved particles
37
Pinocytosis
Engulfing small amounts of dissolved particles
38
Exocytosis
We reaction of products synthesized by the cell
39
Cytoplasm
material filling inside of the cells and containing intracellular organelles
40
organells
intracellular structures organized for a particular function
41
cytosal
relatively fluid portion of the cytoplasm
42
name the organelles
golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, mitochondria, lysosomes, nucleus
43
Golgi apparatus
sit of final stages of synthesis and packaging of secretory products of then cell, appears as a stack, varies in size and location in different tissues,
44
endoplasmic reticulum
membranous network found through the cytoplasm, divided into two different parts, functions - synthesize protein and lipids for new cell membranes, products for secretion
45
Ribosomes
RNA-protein complexes that synthesize proteins under direction of nuclear DNA
46
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
associated with ribosomes, synthesis of proteins
47
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
not associated with ribosomes, synthesis of lipids
48
Mitochondria
"power house of the cell", produces energy for the cell, ovoid shaped organelles that have double membrane, contain their own DNA and RNA, inreases when energy demand increases, not dependent on cellular division.
49
lysosomes
membrane-bound vesicles of digestive enzymes, contain varied of enzymes that degrade all types of bio molecules, functions - phagocytosis of extracellular material within cell, engulf and degrade intracellular organelles for self regulation
50
Neucleus
contain genetic material of all encoded DNA, functions - regulate protein synthesis and biochemical activities, ensure passage of genetic material to new cells
51
somatic cells
genetic information for formation and structure of new cells
52
germline cells
genetic information for characteristics of new individuals.
