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

A

No reaction

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
Q

Endocytosis

A

Cellular uptake of biological molecules and particulate matter via formation of vesticle form the plasma membrane

25
Q

Phagocytosis

A

Edit endocytosis: large substances or small organisms are taken up by a cell

26
Q

Pinocytosis

A

A type of endocytosis in which the cell ingests the extracellular fluids and it’s dissolved solutes
