Q

describe fluid mosaic model

A

bcs the bilayer is free to move and thing giving them soace to move bcs the proteins are differebt shapes and sizes like a mosaic

Q

describe intrinsic proteins and give me examples

A

Embedded in both layers ON MEMBRANE have hydrophobic R group on surface that reacts with the hydrophic core keeping it in place

channel (down conc gradient held together by Rgroups) and carrier proteins(downAND against gradient & change proteins shape)- movement of polar molecules and ions down a gradient through membrane

glycoprotein- plays a role in adhesion and recepor for chemicals

glycolipids-cell markers that can be recognised by immune system

Q

exaples of extrinsic proteins

A

On the outside of the membrane and have hydrophillic r groups (can be IN OR BETWEEN layers)

cholesterol- regulates fluididty of membranes

Q

factirs affecting memberanes

A

temp-phospholipids are constantly moving, high temp more kinetic energy, too much permeability and break down
Denature of channel and carrier

solvents-alchol dissolves membrane or cause damage and when damaged it becomes more permiable

Q

factors effecting diffusion accross a membrane

A

temp- high temp=more kinetic energy and rate is higher

conc- different conc the rate will be faster

Q

what effects the rate at which moleculs or ions diffuse by are

A

SA- more soace more chance of diffusion

thickness of membrance- thin membrane=easier diffusion

Q

describe facillitated diffusion

A

didfusion across membrane across protein Chanel’s

Also may involve carrier proteins which changes shape when certain molecules bind

Q

what si active transport

A

movement of molecule and ions from low to high

Requiring energy and carrier proteins

11
Q

how does active transportation happen across a membrane

A

molecule binds to receptor

ATP brind to carrier proteins and hydrolised into ADP

Binding of molecules to carrier protein changes its shaped and opens inside of cell

Molecule released into cell

carrier protein cahnges shale
ADP turns into ATP

carrier protein back to normal

Q

drscribe endocytosis and exocytosis

A

endo- molecule in cell cell membrane bends inwards encapsulation the molecules turning into vesicle then moves to cytoplasm to be digested

exo- vesicle formed by golgi fuse with membrane and release molecules. Energy is needed to move vehicles along cytoskeleton and to change shape of cells and to fuse with membrane

Q

Things that effect facilitated diffusion

A

Tenp
Concentration gradient
Surface area
Thickness

16
Q

What is bulk transport

A

Large molecules like enzymes and hormones are too big to move through channels so moves by end and exocytosis

17
Q

What is hydrostatic pressure

A

Water going into a closed system increasing the pressure and volume

18
Q

What happens in an animal cell when there is hydrostatic pressure

A

cytolysis- the cell will burst

19
Q

What happens when the water potential is lowkey outside the cytoplasm

A

Cell will go through cremation and ‘pucker’ or reduce volume

20
Q

If the water potential outside a plant cell is more than inside what happens?

A

water moves in
Hydrostatic pressure increases and becomes turgid

21
Q

If the water potential inside a plant cell is more than inside what happens?

A

Water inside cell is lost and becomes plasmolysed

22
Q

what is facillitated diffusion

A

movement of molecules like glucose and amino acids ancross a membrane from high to low conc
