Transcript of Cell Membrane Maintains homeostasis by regulating the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.
Fluid Mosaic Model
• Polar heads are orientated to the aqueous solution (inside and outside of cell)
• Non polar tails are orientated towards one another
• Integral proteins are embedded to form a mosaic
Membrane Proteins
• Channel Proteins (transport)• Carrier Proteins (transport)• Receptor Proteins (signal transduction)• Cell Recognition Proteins (glycoprotein)• Enzymatic Proteins• Intercellular Joining• Attachment for Cytoskeleton
Terms to know
• Osmotic pressure• Turgor Pressure• Tonicity• Isotonic• Hypotonic• Hypertonic• Plasmolysis• Creanation
Rate of Diffusion
• Temperature increase• Increased concentration gradient• Increased membrane permeability• Smaller molecule size
Facilitated Transport
• Movement of molecules along the concentration gradient with the aid of carrier proteins
Active Transport
• Movement of molecules against the concentration gradient using carrier proteins and ATP
