Chapter 7 Cell Membrane Flashcards
(50 cards)
Phospholipid Head is ___
Hydrophobic
Phospholipid tail is
Hydrophilic
cell membrane is the ___ of the cell
brain
cell membrane is ___ perm
semi
Fluid Mosaic Model: ___ and ___ ( year)
Singer and Nicholson’s 1973
Singer and Nicholas were first to look at
proteins + choloestrol
water environment = saline = ._% solution
.9% saline solution
.9% saline solution provides___
balance
why mosaic model ?
celll mem was complicated
why fluid model ? ( 4)
Lateral movement, flip flopping, cholesterol, and unsaturated phospholipid tails
Proteins (3)
Integral; Transmembrane; Peripheral
Integral Protein
Inside
Transmembrane protien function
transport
Transport Protiens (2)
Channel and Carrier
Channel Protiens are
hydrophobic; is a pathway so subs can move through
channel proteins are aquaphorus
obtain water molecules
Carrier Protiens…..
carried subs across membrane
Channel protein shape and carrier
2 frowny faces VS 2 crescents
Perm of Liq Bi-Layer
Non polar (no charge ) molecules = hydrophobic
Nonpolar molecules mean
can all dissolve and cross membrane w/o protein help
why can non polar molecules dissolves and cross membrane w/o protien help?
inside is non polar also ( like w like )
Carrier Protiens
shape will match item to make accross: passive process
3 Mechanisms
Diffusion, active transport, electrical charges
Diffusion explained
A passive process by which a sub moves DOWN its own conc gradient from high to low until equilibrium
