Chapter 3 Flashcards
Cell Biology
what are basic structural and functional unit of life
cells
what separates internal and external environment and is an outer boundary
plasma membrane
what is an area of connection to other cells and facilitates communication
plasma membrane
nucleus is
typically in the center of the cell and control cellular activity
what is an area between PM and nucleus, and contains organelles that person specific roles
the cytoplasm
the phospholipid bilayer contains
cholesterol
the phospholipid bilayer has what attached and embedded
proteins
polar heads are
hydrophilic
nonpolar tails are
hydrophobic
do molecules need help to pass through this membrane
yes
what is diffusion possible with
gases, steroids, and H2O
large and polar molecules need
channel or transporters
what does selectively permeable mean
allows some things through and not others
what are two types of membrane proteins
integral and peripheral
what is deep in the lipid bilayer
integral
example of an integral protein is a
transmembrane protein
integral proteins act as
transporters
what channels are specialized transporters that help ions travel through
ion channels
what attaches to inner and outer surface of lipid bilayer
peripheral
are peripheral proteins apart of the membrane
no
what is an example of peripheral proteins
glycoprotein
passive transport
no input of energy
active transport
requires input of energy
vesicular transport
use vesicles to move things into and out of cell and requires the input of energy
