Studied by 1 personglycolipid
Lipid involved in cell recognition and cell signaling.
peripheral protein
Attached to the exterior surface of the cell membrane
integral protein
Integral proteins are embedded within the cell membrane and have a role in the transport of molecules across the membrane.
cholesterol
Stabilizes membrane during temperature changes.
glycoprotein
Protein that plays a role in cell recognition and signaling.
aquaporins
proteins that let water through
cell wall
rigid wall found in plant cells
diffusion
movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
facilitated diffusion
Using a protein to passively transport molecules across the membrane - commonly used with channel proteins
active transport
Requires ATP to to move molecules against the desired concetration gradient
endocytosis
taking water and macromolecules into a cell by folding them into the bilayer and removing a portion of it to form a vesicle
exocytosis
Taking in vesicles to the bilayer and remocing molecules
hypertonic
higher concetration of solute
hypotonic
lesser concetration of solute
water potential
potential energy of water to preform osmosis
isotonic
equal concetration
osmolarity
total concetration of all solutes in a organism
concractile vacoule
A storage vacoule used to hold water that will be expended later as a cell might need to have a higher concetration than that of the outside
