Plasma membrane
Flexible boundary between the cell and its environment; allows a steady supply of nutrients and other molecules to enter or leave the cell
Permeable
Allow things to pass through
Selective permeability
Allow some molecules to pass while keeping others out
Plasma membrane controls what?
The movement of molecules in and out of the cell (like a chain-link fence)
Phospholipids
Form a bi-layers with the tails facing in and the heads facing out
Hydrophilic
Likes water, is water soluble
The Polar Head of the phospholipid is ...
Hydrophilic
The Non-Polar Tail of the phospholipid is ...
Hydrophobic
Hydrophobic
Scared of water
Fluid Mosaic Model
Flexible and embedded with protein
Cholesterol
Stabilizes the phospholipids by preventing the tails from sticking
Transport Proteins
Allow for the selective permeability of the membrane and moves larger materials in + our of the cell
3 types of cell transport
Passive, Active, Bulk
Active Transport uses ....
ATP/Energy
Active transport moves cell what?
Against the concentration gradient
Passive Transport uses .....
No energy
Passive Transport is also called
Diffusion
Facilitated Diffusion
Diffusion with the use of a protein
Osmosis
The diffusion of water
Water always goes from an area of ______ concentration to an area of ______ concentration
High, low
Tonicity
the ability of a surrounding solution to cause a cell to gain or lose water
Isotonic Solution
no net movement of water
Hypotonic Solution
Concentration of water greater outside than inside, water moves into the cell
Hypertonic Soultion
Water inside the cell is higher than outside the cell, water moves out of the cell
Cell in hypertonic solution will ...
Shrivel
Cell in hypotonic solution will ...
Swell and or burst
Bulk transport
Transport bulk molecules by surrounding them with membrane "vesicles"
Vesicular transports can be ...
Internal or external
Endocytosis vesicle transports
Materials INTO a cell
Exocytosis vesicle transports
Materials OUT of the cell
Plasma membrane also maintains ...
Homeostasis
The plasma membrane structure is composed of ...
Phospholipids
Plasma membrane is "_______" in that it moves like waves in the ocean (Fluid Mosaic)
Fluid
Proteins embedded in membrane _________ within the membrane like a boat at sea (Fluid Mosaic)
Move
Proteins create a __________ or "__________" on the membrane surface.
Pattern, mosaic
ATP stands for
Adenosine Triphosphate
Diffusion means
Movement of particles carbon dioxide, oxygen, etc
Channel Proteins
Transport protein that provides a tube-like opening in the plasma membrane through which particles can diffuse
is used during active transport but not passive transport?
energy (ATP)
Endocytosis
Process by which a cell takes in material by forming a vacuole around it
passive transport
particle movement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Exocytosis
Process by which a cell expels wastes from a vacuole
facilitated diffusion
A form of passive transport that uses transport proteins
Active transport concentration?
Particle movement from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
Carrier proteins
Transport protein that changes shape when a particle binds with it
Transport protein used to help what?
substances enter or exit the cell membrane
Equilibrium is?
When the molecules of one substance are spread evenly throughout another substance to become balanced
Exostosis does what?
A vacuole membrane fuses (becomes a port of) the cell membrane and the contents are released
Endocytosis does what?
The cell membrane forms around another substance, EX: how the amoeba gets its food
Diffusion concentration is?
Higher concentrations to areas of lower concentration
Which/What solution(s) cause osmosis?
All 3 of them (Isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic)
Isotonic solution is when water flows ...
In both direction, there is no grain or loss of water
Hypertonic solution is when water flows ...
Out of the cell, the cell could then shrivel/shrink
Hypotonic solution is when water flows ...
Into the cell, the cell could then swell or burst
