Those Magic Membranes!

Chapter 6 Membranes


AB
These have hydrophobic tails and polar heads!phospholipids
Cell membranes are called this because of embedded proteinsmosaic
If a cell has the same concentration inside and outside it is in this type of solutionisotonic
Diffusion of waterosmosis
proteins that allow the passage of molecules or ionstransmembrane channels
If ions pass through special channels designed for themfacilitated diffusion
This special protein channel allows the passage of H+ ions to make ATPproton pump
If energy is required to move a material through a membraneactive transport
This protein channel uses a cotransport of glucosesodium-potassium pump
These act as cell surface markersGlycolipids
Cystic fibrosis results from these defective channelschloride (Cl-)
the ability of a membrane to be picky about what goes in and outselective permeability
If there is more water on the outside of a cell than inside, this happenslysis of cell
if there is less water outside the cell than inside the cell, this happensplasmolysis
this cell is 100 times more permeable to water than the Amoebared blood cells
these cells would show turgor pressure within their vacuolesElodea cells
Paramecium use this to get rid of excess water inside themselvescontractile vacuole
If the concentration of solute particles is lower outside of a cell than inside, we say that the cell contents are thishypertonic
Because phospholipid molecules are free to move, the cell membrane is called thisfluid
cell membranes are freely permeable to thiswater
Cell membranes are held together by thishydrophobicity to water
When a cell engulfs large objects such as bacteriaphagocytosis
when an ion moves from an area of high to low concentration across a membrane"moving down a concentration gradient"
the cell can take advantage of this to move particles across a membranefree energy gradient (high concentration on one side of the membrane)
"Sugar" coating on the outside of a cellglycocalyx
makes cell membranes "stiff" and able to withstand high temperatureschoelsterol and saturated fatty acids
makes a cell membrane more "fluid"unsaturated fatty acids
solutesubstance dissolved within a solvent (like water)
