Term
fluid mosaic model
Definition
describes the
general structure of biological
membranes.
Term
transmembrane proteins, transmembrane domains
Definition
____ extend all
the way through the phospholipid
bilayer, with one or more ______
Term
glycolipids
Definition
carb + lipid
Term
glycoproteins
Definition
carp + protein
Term
selective permeability
Definition
membranes have ___ meaning only some substances can pass through
Term
passive transport
Definition
no energy input required
Term
active transport
Definition
energy required
Term
concentration gradient
Definition
Energy for passive transport comes
from the __________: the
difference in concentration between
one side of the membrane and the
other.
Term
diffusion
Definition
process of random movement toward equilibrium
Term
simple diffusion
Definition
small molecules pass through the lipid bilayer
Term
osmosis
Definition
diffusion of water
Term
isotonic
Definition
equal solute concentrations
Term
hypertonic
Definition
higher solute concentration
Term
hypotonic
Definition
lower solute conentration
Term
turgor pressure
Definition
Plant cells with rigid cell walls build up internal pressure that keeps more water from entering: _____
Term
channel proteins
Definition
Integral
membrane proteins that form a
tunnel
Term
carrier proteins
Definition
Membrane
proteins that bind some substances
and speed their diffusion through the
bilayer.
Term
ion channels
Definition
Channel proteins with
hydrophilic pores.
Term
gated
Definition
most ion channels are ____
Term
ligand
Definition
Gate opens when the protein is
stimulated to change shape by a
chemical signal
Term
aquaporins
Definition
Water can cross membranes through
special channels called
Term
carrier proteins
Definition
transport polar
molecules, such as glucose, across
membranes in both directions.
Term
active transport
Definition
Moves substances
against a concentration and/or
electrical gradient; requires energy.
Term
uniporter
symporter
antiporter
Definition
active transport involves 3 types of proteins
Term
uniporter
Definition
moves one substance in
one direction
Term
symporter
Definition
moves two substances
in one direction
Term
antiporter
Definition
moves two substances
in opposite directions
Term
primary active transport
Definition
Requires
direct hydrolysis of ATP.
Term
secondary active transport
Definition
Energy
comes from an ion concentration
gradient that is established by primary
active transport.
Term
sodium–potassium (Na+–K+)
pump:
Definition
Primary active transport
• Found in all animal cells
• An integral membrane glycoprotein
(an antiporter)
Term
endocytosis
Definition
Brings molecules and
cells into a eukaryotic cell.
Term
phagocytosis
Definition
Molecules or entire
cells are engulfed.
Term
pinocytosis
Definition
A vesicle forms to bring
small dissolved substances or fluids
into a cell.
Term
receptor proteins
Definition
Macromolecules to be moved bind to ______integral membrane proteins located at specific sites on the cell membrane.
Term
exocytosis
Definition
Material in vesicles is
expelled from a cell.
Indigestible materials are expelled.
Other materials leave cells, such as
digestive enzymes and
neurotransmitters.
