4821649567Cell membraneConsists of lipids and proteins and it is selectively permiable0
4821649568AmphipathicPhospholipids-both hydrophobic and hydrophilic1
4821649569Fluid mosaic modelMembrane is a fluid structure2
4821649570PhospholipidsConstantly move laterally3
4821649571Cooler temperaturesThe cell membrane becomes solid4
4821649572Olive oil consistencyThe best membrane consistently5
4821649573Saturated membraneA more solid membrane6
4821649574Unsaturated membraneA more liquid membrane7
4821649575CholesterolSlows down the membrane but spaces them out (buffers of membrane)8
4821649576Peripheral proteinsBound to the surface- hydrophilic9
4821649577Hydrophobic-small molleculesMolecules that can dissolve in bilateral and pass through10
4821649578Transport proteinAllows hydrophilic things in11
4821649579AquaporinsOnly facilitates water transport12
4821649580Channel proteinTransport protein that certain things can use13
4821649581DiffusionMolecules want to go to more space-passive14
4821649582Concentration gradientA difference in concentration of a substance-passive15
4821649583OsmosisIs the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane using an aquaporin-passive16
4821649584TonicityAbility of a solution to make a cell gain or lose water17
4821649585Isotonic solutionSolute concentration is the same as the inside of the cell- no net water movement18
4821649586Hypertonic solutionSolute concentration is greater than that inside the cell- cell loses water19
4821649587Hypotonic solutionSolute concentration is less than that inside the cell-cell gains water20
4821649588LysedAnimal cells gaining too much water-hypotonic21
4821649589TurgidPlant cells normal puffed out-hypotonic22
4821649590Normalanimal cells normal-isotonic23
4821649591FlaccidNot perfect plant cells-isotonic24
4821649592Shriveled/crenatedAnimal cells choked of water-hypertonic25
4821649593PlasmolyzedPlant cells choked of water-hypertonic26
4821666706osmoregulationthe control of water balance27
4821667935Plasmolysisthe membrane of plant cells rip off the wall being lethal-occurs in hyper-tonic solutions28
4821678088Facilitated diffusionTransport proteins speed the passive movement of molecules across the plasma membrane29
4821684783Ion channelsChannels that open/close in response to stimuli (gated channels)30
4821745288Active transportThe move is substances against their concentration gradient-ATP-performed by specific proteins embedded in the membrane31
4821758490Sodium potassium pumpOne type of active transport system32
4821760235phosphorylationChanging the proteins shape(in the cell membrane)33
4821770014membrane potentialThe voltage difference across a membrane34
4821775008electrochemical gradientThe diffusion of ions across a membrane-a chemical, force ions concentration, and electrical force(membrane potential on the ions it movement) these 2 combine for this35
4821859953electrogenic pumpA transport protein that generates voltage across a membrane( sodium potassium pump is the main one for animals)36
4821867410Proton pumpThe main electrogenic pump of plants, fungi, and bacteria37
4821890517cotransportoccurs when active transport of a solute indirectly drives transport of another solute(plants usually use hydrogen)38
4821898198Exocytosistransport vesicles migrate to the membrane, fuse with it and release their contents (secretory cells use this)-uses ATP39
4821904853Endocytosisthe cell takes in macromolecules by forming vesicles from the plasma membrane- 3 types, phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor mediated endocytosis- uses ATP40
4821916224Bulk transportuses endocytosis and exocytosis and vesicles41
4821920196Pinocytosismolecules are taken up when extracellular fluid is "gulped" into tiny vesicles42
4821925874Phagocytosisa cell engulfs a particle in a vacuole that fuses with a lysosome to digest it43
4821931005Receptor mediated endocytosisBinding of ligands to receptors, triggers vesicle formation44
4821937096Ligandany molecule that binds specifically to a receptor site of another molecule45
