QuestionAnswer
active transportmovement of particles against the concentration gradient (low to high), requires ATP as well as Transport/carrier proteins
what are transmembrane proteinsIntrinsic/integral proteins that span the whole phospholipid bilayer
what can phospholipids formMicelle - sphere Bilayer Lysosome - sphere within sphere, con contain substances inside
fluid mosaic modelfluid- Phospholipid and protein molecules can move around in the bilayer Mosaic- Different protein molecules are scattered
how thick is phospholipid bilayer7nm
what is the middle bit of phospholipid bilayer calledhydrophobic core
how to differentiate between glycoprotein and glycolipidproteins are connected to a protein, and glycolipid is connected to phospholipid
role of cholesterol in phospholipid bilayercontrols fluidity
Extrinsic proteins in phospholipid bilayerPeripheral protein Inner or outer surface Can be bound to intrinsic proteins, phospholipids, and molecules on the inside/outside of the cell
what are proteins embedded into phospholipid bilayer calledintrinsic/intergral protein, can be inside or outside. can span the whole membrane, called transmembrane proteins
what are proteins lying on the surface of the phospholipid bilayer calledPeripheral protein
carrier proteinsThey can change shape of the molecule to allow it to diffuse out the other way
what are transmembrane proteinsIntrinsic/integral proteins that span the whole phospholipid bilayer
how do bacteria and yeasts affect the fluidity of their phospholipid bilayerchange temperature
Conformational changeWhen the molecule changes shape inside of a binding site of a carrier protein
what is the size of membranes7nm
