Q

principles of cell theory

A

1) all orgs are comprised of 1 or more cells
2) cel is the structural unit of life
3) cells can only arise from division from a pre-existing cell
4) cells have genetic info in the form of DNA where info is passes from parent to daughter cell

25
what are fatty acids
the tail component - 14-20 Carbons - sat or unstat (cis double bonds intro a bend)
26
3 types of membrane lipids
phosphoglycerides sphingolipids cholesterol
27
phosphoglycerides
-all are phospholipids -built on a glycerol backbone - 2 fatty acid chains (1 sat and 1 unsat), phosphate, and additional groups
28
phosphoglyceride back bone strucutre
H2C----O---R | HC----O-----R | H2C----O---PO2--O-- A
29
what are the 5 additional groups and their polarity
H (-) Choline (0) Serine (-) Ethanol-amine (0) Inositol (-)
30
sphingolipids
-build on sphingosine (sphing+ fatty acids with an additional group to character the type of lipid) -not all are phospholipids - amphipathic - longer and more sat fatty acids
31
what is the most basic sphingolipid
ceramide (sphingosine w/ a fatty acid)
32
where do sphingolipids participate the most?
-signal transduction -membrane structure -sensing ?
33
addiontal groups
phosphate link= phospholipid carbohydrate link= glycolipid
34
2 main types of glycolipids
- cerebroside (simple (single( sugar addition)) - ganglioside (cluster of suagrs are added)
35
cholesterol
-rigid, muti ring structures - small OH polar group - embedded (20-30%) to impact mem fluidity
36
4 composnents of a phosphoglyceride
phos group glycerol backbone fatty acid tails (2) add group
37
the the membrane symetric?
no. the edno and xo plasmic membrnae ahev very different chemical make up and sometime differnt proteins attached. - carb are only found on the extra celluar
38
what does asymmetry impact
permeability surface charge mem shape stability
39
glycolipid: glycoprotein
10%=carb to lipid 90%= carb to protien on the extracell only membrane
40
importance of carbs for cells
act as receptors, sorting membrane proteins, and recognition of other moles (like antigens)
41
what is the myeline sheath
multiple layers of plasma membrane with little protein - high lipid concentration= signal propogation
42
what does the lipid composition of a cell determine
-physical state of mem -facilitae prot int - signal transduction
43
membrane functions (7)
1)compartmentalization 2) scaffold for biochem activities 3) selective permeable barrier 4) solute trans 5) response to external stim 6) cell-cell comm 7) energy transduction
44
compartmentalization
grouping of specialized cells via membranes, allowing for their activities to proceed without impaction other cell reactions
45
scaffold for biochem rxn
membranes promete the correct loaction and oder for biochemical rxn to occur
46
selectively permeable mem
membranes and filter specific substances into or out of the cell
47
solute transport
controls the entering or leaving of substances
48
response to external stim
specifically done by the plasma mem ex hormes and ligands
49
cell to cell comm
doen by the plasma mem and allows for int
50
energy transduction
membranes related to the ECT and promote the differences in ion concentrations to produce an electrical charge.
51
what influences membrane fluidity
temp! \ fluidity determines the physical state of the mem
52
what is the transition temp
the temp to which a crystalline gel 'melts' into the liquid crystalline phase
53
what impacts the transistion temp
fatty acid saturation cholesterol content chain length
54
fatty acid saturation on fluidity
- sat= inc rigid -unsat= dec rigid via bend
55
cholesterol content on fluidity
- ring impart movement and eliminates the sharpe transition temp
56
chain length on fluidity
- short chains= fewer van int and less E to brake apart (inc fluid)
57
why is fluid/ rigid balance important
maintain structural or and mechanical support enable int membrane assembly or cell growth and division cell movement
58
ways orgs maintain fluid membranes
for colder temps: - inc # unstat fatty acid tails via unstaturase - reshuffle fatty chains to create phospholips with 2 unsat tails - change the types of phospholipids that org produces (will make more unsat and shoter tails)
59
membrane proteins
-have a set orientation relative to the cytoplasmic or extra cellular side - distributed asymmetrically between the bilayer
60
3 types of proteins
integral peripheral lipid anchored
61
integral prot
permanently anchored monotopic (span 1 layer transmembrane - biotopic (span 2 layers) - ploytopic (span both layers multiple times)
62
transmembrane proteins
pass though both phospholipid layers and contain one or more transmembrane domains (amphipathic) - phobic: form van int w/ the fatty tails philic: connectors near surface or channels (ion import)
63
transmembrne domain
~20 non polar amino acids
