Module 3 (Biological Membrane Functions) Flashcards
(37 cards)
There are two major types of membrane proteins: i_____ proteins and p______ proteins
Integral proteins and peripheral proteins
P______ proteins are attached to the s______ of the membrane
Peripheral, surface
I_____ proteins are e_____ in the cell membrane
Integral, embedded
All bio membranes are a_______; this is evident in the p_____ composition of the two leaflets of the phospholipid bilayer, as well as the integral p_____ orientation
Asymmetrical, phospholipid, protein
Full c_____ (positive or negative) creates a sphere of h______ around the charged particle, which causes the ions to be unable to diffuse through the barrier on their own
Charge, hydration
Integral proteins have a h______ a_____ h____ structure; the hydrophilic backbone of the protein
Hydrophobic alpha helic
P_______ t_______: molecules move with their concentration gradient (from a high area of concentration to an area of low concentration) through d_________
Passive transport, diffusion
A_______ t_______: molecules moved against their concentration gradient, energy (____) is used
Active transport, ATP
The c________ g______ is the driving force behind almost all membrane transport. It’s the difference in the concentration of molecules between the two sides of the m_______
Concentration gradient, membrane
S_______ d______ doesn’t require proteins, occurs in small uncharged particles
Simple diffusion
F_______ d_____ is a form of passive transport where molecules are moved across a membrane through the use of i_____ p____. The driving force of the transport is simply the c______ g_____ of the molecule
Facilitated diffusion, integral proteins, concentration gradient
M______ p______ make it possible to transport ions and large polar molecules across biological membranes
Membrane proteins
C_______ p______ have a central pore lined with p_____ amino acids on the inside of the channel and n______ amino acids on the exterior of the channel
Channel proteins, polar, nonpolar
Facilitated diffusion is often r_______. Ion channels are highly specific for an ion. Most are gated, can closed or open; channel opens when stimulated to change s____
Regulated, shape
Facilitated diffusion gets help from c_____ p______. They transport p______ molecules such as glucose across membranes in both directions. Glucose b____ to the proteins, which causes it to change shape and release glucose on the other side
Carrier proteins, polar, binds
In active transport, there are two types: p_____ and s_____
Primary and secondary
P______ active transport requires direct e_____ investment, so that ____ can be used to move molecules against their concentration gradient
Primary, energy, ATP
S_______ active transport: energy comes from an ion c______ g______ established by primary active transport. This moves molecules a_____ their concentration gradient. Does not need ATP
Secondary, concentration gradient, against
An example of active transport is the Na+ - K+ p____
Pump
An example of secondary active transport is the transfer of g_____ and sodium
Glucose
There are t____ kinds of transporter proteins
Three
Carries one specific ion or molecule (transporter protein)
Uniporter
Carries two different ions or molecules, both in the same direction (transporter protein)
Symporter
Carries two molecules in opposite directions (transporter proteins
Antiporter
