Membrane Proteins :

  •  Integral - Transports proteins (carrier and channel), ___ or ____.
  • Peripheral proteins are lossley attached to _____ protiens. Functions include Enzymes, motor proteins, cell to cell links, provides support on _____ surface and forms part of _____.
Definition
  • enzymes or receptors
  • Integral
  • Intracellular
  • Glycocalyx
Term
Functions of Mebrane Proteins
Definition
  1. Transport
  2. Receptors for signal transduction
  3. Attachment to cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix
  4. Enzymatic activity
  5. Intercellular joining
  6. Cell to cell recognition
Term

Membrane junctions

 

Definition
  1. Tight Junctions - found in epithelial cells (prevents fluids and molecules forom moving between cells)
  2. Desmosome - help reduce tension in networking fibers
  3. Gap Junction - allows small molecules to pass from cell to cell

 

 

Term
Types of Membrane Transport
Definition

Passive - requires no ATP

Active - Requires ATP

Term
Passive Processes
Definition
  • Simple diffusion- Nonpolar and hydrophobic (substances diffuse directly through)
  • Carrier-mediated - changes shape for molecules
  • Channel- mediated - Selective (leakage channel (open) and Gated channel (closed))
  • Osmosis - Water diffuses through plasma membranes
