Unit 2 test (cell membrane & Enzymes & ATP) Flashcards
(37 cards)
cell membrane made of?
phospholipid bilayer
phospholipids made of?
Head and Tail
which phospholipid hydrophobic which hydrophilic
Head - phydrophilic
tail - hydrophobic
semi-permeable???
bouncer type shi
peripheral protein
moves electrons among surface of cell to generate energy for cell/can help molecules move around outside of cell sometimes
glycoprotein
Proteins on outside of cell membrane with little tails on them made out of carbohydrates with sugars on them - tails used to recognize other cells
integral protein (other name is carrier protein)
proteins that carry molecules up and down the gradient of a channel protein
protein channel
proteins that create hydrophilic holes in the normally hydrophobic cell membrane for molecules to pass through (this is what the integral protein is traveling up and down through)
list all active transports for a cell
exocytosis, endocytosis, pinocytosis, phagocytosis
list all passive transports for a cell
simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis
endocytosis
cell absorbs substance - phagocytosis and pinocytosis are part of endocytosis)
exocytosis
cell expels substance
simple diffusion/diffusion
molecules must be small enough and non polar, (not charged) to move across hydrophobic center of cell membrane (passive)
diffusion
molecules spreading out on a concentration
facilitated diffusion
Molecules is big or polar, cant cross cell membrane, molecules diffuse across plasma membrane with help from protein channel
osmosis
movement of water molecules from higher to lower concentration (type of diffusion)
phagocytosis
eating action
pinocytosis
drinking action
hypotonic solution
cells become big and fat, molecules entering but not exiting (plant cell would be called turgid)
hypertonic solution
cells become small and defaulted, wrinkled, molecules exiting but not entering (plant cell would be called plasmoyzed
isotonic solution
equal balance of molecules entering and exiting cell, looks like normal cell (plant cell would be called flaccid)
why does IV water need to contain salt
blood has its own osmotic pressure, adding large amount of fluid without a solvent will ruin that + it balanced the electrolytes in your blood
Enzymes in human body
amylase –> breaks down starch into sugar molecules
Lipase –> breaks fats into fatty acids
etc.
chlorophyll
organel in plant cell responsible for photosynthesis
