Q

Transport a membrane protein

A

Left- provides hydrophilic channel that is across the membrane.
Right- moves a substance by changing the shape from one side to the other

Q

Enzymatic activity of the membrane proteins

A

A protein that is built into the membrane. May be an enzyme with it’s active site exposed to substances in the adjacent solution

Q

ECM attachment to the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix

A

Helps maintain the cells shape and secures the proteins in their locations. Made up of micro filaments and other elements.

Q

Signal transduction

A

Binds with a specific shape, the shape can fit the shape if a chemical messenger. The protein may change so it can relay the message inside the cell

Q

Hypertonic

A

The cell will absorb water when in solution

16
Q

Isotonic

17
Q

Active transport:

A

Moves molecules up the concentration gradient

18
Q

Passive transport

A

Moves molecules down the concentration gradient

19
Q

Exocytosis

A

When bilingual molecules come out of the cell

20
Q

Endocytosis

A

When the molecules go in the cell

21
Q

Selectively permeable membrane

A

A property of biological membranes that allows them to regulate the passage of substances across them

22
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

Across the biological membrane with assistance of transmembrane transport proteins

23
Q

Exoytosis

A

The cellular secretion of biological molecules by the fusion of vesicles containing then with the plasma membrane

24
Endocytosis
Cellular uptake of biological molecules and particulate matter via formation of vesticle form the plasma membrane
25
Phagocytosis
Edit endocytosis: large substances or small organisms are taken up by a cell
26
Pinocytosis
A type of endocytosis in which the cell ingests the extracellular fluids and it's dissolved solutes
