Cards

Term
Differential centrifugation
Definition
separation based on differences in g-force needed to pellet particles
-rapid, easy
Term
(Equilibrium) Density gradient centrifugation
Definition
separation based on buoyant density
gradient material sucrose and CsCl2
-do not use if you want to separate intact organelles
Term
peripheral proteins
Definition
anchored into the bilayer, but sit on the surface
-extracted by using high salt or a solution with a pH of 11
Term
integral protein
Definition
go all the way through the bilayer
-extracted by detergents
Term
Co-transport
Definition
transport of one substance against the concentration gradient is coupled to down gradient transport of another molecule
Term
aquaporins
Definition
water channels
Term
Donnan effect
Definition
charged macromolecules in cells attract counterparts, so therefore there is an excess of ions this excess causes water to enter the cell
Term
Defenses against the Donnan effect
Definition
plants,bacteria, and fungi-rigid cell wall counteracts the the pressure caused by osmosis
animals- pumps mainly Na/K-ATPases
protozoa-contractile vacuoles squeeze water out
