Chapter 7 Membrane structure and funtions Flashcards
(39 cards)
Channel proteins
- provide a hydrophilic tunnel through the membrane
Channel protein
Form a fluid bilayer
Unsaturated fatty tails maintains fluidity
phospholipid
between phospholipid
provides stiffness
keeps membrane fluid and lower temps
Cholesterol (steriod)
phospholipid
Cholesterol (steriod)
carrier protein
Cell Recognition protein
Receptor Protein
Enzymatic Protein
Junction Protein
Binds to specific substances and change their shape to move a molecule through
Carrier proteins
The phospholipid bilayer of the plasma membrane restricts the passage of
Ions (Na+, Ca+, K+, Cl-)
polar molecules such as sugars and amino acids
Cell identification
Cell recognition protein
Are glycoproteins with sugar chains attahced
Cell recognition protein
make organ transplant difficult to achieve
Cell recognition protein
Helps cells recognize foreign invaders plays a role in the immune system
Cell recognition protein
Cell recognition protein
Cell communitcation
Receptor proteins
Has a specific shape for binding to signal molecules such as a hormone or neurotransmitter
Cell recognition protein
Faulty receptor proteins can result in disorder such as dwarfism, type II diabetes, and or intersex individuals
Cell recognition protein
Cell recognition protein
Catalyst
Enzymes
speeds of specific chemical reactions
