Exam 2 Flashcards
(225 cards)
what are the two populations of proteins
Intergral and peripheral
Firmly inserted into the lipid bilayer most are transmembrane
Intergral proteins
-Attach loosely to intergral proteins
some are enzymes
many are glycoproteins
Peripheral Proteins
-All living organisms are composed of these
- human body has trillions
- about 200 different types
Cells
What are characteristics of erythrocytes
-red blood cells
- play a crucial role in oxygen and carbon dioxide transport
- no replication
What are characteristics of Fibroblast
- actively mitotic cells that forms the fibers of connective tissue
- cells that connect body parts, form linings or transport gases cells
Epithelial Cells
cells that move organs and body parts
skeletal muscle cells
Cell that stores nutrients and is a triglyceride that stores long term energy
fat cell “mr.store it
Cell of reproduction
Sperm
cell that fights disease
Macrophage
cell that gathers information and controls body functions
Nerve cells
basic components of cells
- Plasma membrane
- Cytoplasm
- Nucleus
Excitable cells that conduct electrical current
smooth muscle cells and nerve cells
outer lining of a cell
- barrier
- communication
- secretion
plasma membrane
- requires energy
- moves molecules against conc. gradient
Active transport
Uses a membrane pump, directly fueled by hydrolysis of ATP, to move molecules against a concentration gradient
e.g. Na+/K pump (sodium potassium pump
1 active transport (primary)
There is always more ______ outside the cell than in
Sodium
There is always more _________ inside the cell than out
Potassium
Molecules in low concentration, hitch a ride with the molecules perviously pumped across the membrane by 1 active transport.
e.g. glucose rides with sodium ions as they diffuse down conc. gradient.
2 Active transport (secondary)
can be used to transport large particles and macromolecules and requires energy
Vesicular transport
Plasma membrane in fold and pinches off inside cell.
Endocytosis
what are the three types of endocytosis
- Phagocytosis
- Receptor-mediated endocytosis
Pinocytosis
-cell eating
- forms phagosomes
- fused with lysosome and contents digested
- used by macrophages and WBCs
Phagocytosis
