Lesson 3 - Cells & Tissue Flashcards
they are the basic, living structural, and functional units of the body
Cells
Flexible sturdy barrier surrounds and contains the cytoplasm
Plasma Membrane
uses the fluid moseic model
Plasma Membrane
acts as a barrier separating inside and outside of the cell
Plasma Membrane
Controls the flow in and out of the cell
Plasma Membrane
helps identify cells to other cells
Plasma Membrane
participates in intercellular signaling
Plasma Membrane
Basic Structure of Plasma Membrane
Lipid Bilayer
2 back to back layers made up of 3 type of lipid molecules
Lipid Bilayer

loving
____________ is polar part is phosphate containing the head which is _____________
- phospholipid
- hydrophilic
______________are the 2 long phatty acid tails which are________________
- non polar part
- hydrophobic
what are the two types of membrane proteins?
Integral Proteins
Peripheral Proteins
extend thru the lipid bilayer and are firmly embedded in it
Integral Proteins
many integral proteins are _________
glycoproteins
are ampiphatic
integral membrane proteins
carbohydrates portion of the glycolipid and glycoproteins form an extensive sugary quote called the ________
Glycocalex
acts like a molecular signature that enables cells to recognize one another
Glycocalex
enables cells to a-dire to one another in some tissues and protects cells from being digested by enzymes and extra cellular fluid
Glycocalex
Forms a pore through which a specific ion can flow to get across membrane.
Ion channel (integral)
Most plasma membranes include special channels for several common ions. What is this channel?
Ion channel (integral)
