Definition
hydrophobic get through easily
hydrophilic do nto get through easily
Term
How do polar molecules get through the membrane?
Definition
protein channels
Term
What is the term for the ability of the cell membrane to let only certain things in and out?
Definition
semipermeable
Term
What type of properties do transmembrane properties have to have?
Definition
helix
Term
What membrane channel function is involved in movement of ions, small ions, and macromolecules?
Definition
transporter
Term
What membrane channel function is involved in the changing of enzymes?
Definition
enzyme activity
Term
What membrane channel function is involved in the communication of cells to the outside world?
Definition
cell surface receptor
Term
What membrane channel function is involved in identifying the type of the cell?
Definition
cell surface identity marker
Term
What membrane channel function is involved in the binding of cells to one another?
Definition
cell adhesion
Term
What membrane channel function is involved in attaching to the cytoskeleton?
Definition
attachment to cytoskeleton
Term
There are two types of proteins found in the membrane. What are they?
Definition
peripheal and integral
Term
what membrane protein is the identity marker found loosely on the membrane surface?
Definition
peripheral
Term
what membrane protein is the lipid bilayer that the transmembrane protein penetrates?
Definition
integral
Term
What is the fluid mosaic model of the membrane?
Definition
lipid bilayer moves fluid-like
Term
List different components of the fluid mosaic model.
Definition
peripheal proteins
glycoproteins
phospholipids
glycolipids
cholesterol
lipoproteins
Term
What cell membrane component plays a key role in cell recognition?
Definition
cell surface identity marker
Term
What is ampipathic?
Definition
phospholipid bilayer is ampipathic
contains hydrophobic and hydrophilic
Term
List two characteristics of active transport. Give examples.
Definition
energy required
goes against concentration gradient
Ex:
sodium potassium pump
ion pump
electrogenic pump
protein pump
contransport
Term
List two characteristics of passive transport. Give examples.
Definition
no energy required
goes with concentration gradient
Ex:
diffusion osmoses
facilitated diffusion
Term
Compare/contrast diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
Definition
Diffusion-2nd law of thermodynamics; governs biological systems; HIGH TO LOW CONCENTRATION

Facilitated Diffusion- diffusion through protein channels, specific molecules across cell membrane; no energy needed

Osmosis-diffusion of water across semipermeable membrane
Term
What is antiport
Definition
ions through membrane of two different molecules in opposite directions
Term
What is symport?
Definition
ions through membrane in same direction
Term
What types of transport are antiport and symport?
Definition
active transport
Term
How do large molecules move into and out of cell? Is this active or passive transport?
Definition
through vesicles and vacuoles (endcytosis and exocytosis)
this is active transport
Term
Define osmosis. active or passive transport?
Definition
high concentration of water to low concentration of water

active
Term
What is the name of the protein channels that move water?
Definition
aquaporins
Term
What property does a membrane have to have for osmosis to occur?
Definition
semi-permeable membrane
Term
define isotonic
Definition
equal solute, equal water
Term
define hypertonic
Definition
more solute, less water
Term
define hypotonic
Definition
less solute, more water
Term
What is a contractile vacuole? What type of organism would need this?
Definition
pumps water out of cell
plant cell, paramecium
Term
What is plasmolysis? Can plants recover from this?
Definition
wilting of plants

yes
