  Side A   Side B
1
integral membrane proteins
 
have hydrophobic domains and pentrate the phospholipid bilayer
2
peripheral membrane proteins
 
lack hydrophobic domains and are not embedded in the bilayer
3
transmembrane proteins
 
integral membrane proteins that protrude on both sides of the membrane
4
membrane carbohydrates
 
located on the outer surface of the membrane and serve as recognition sites for other cells...
5
glycolipids
 
a carbohydrate covalently bonded to a lipid
6
glycoproteins
 
a carbohydrate covalently bonded to a protein
7
cell recognition
 
one cell specifically binds to another cell of a certain type
8
cell adhesion
 
the connection between the two cells is strengthened
9
cell junctions
 
specialized structures that hold cells together (tight junctions, desmosomes, and gap junctions)
10
tight junctions
 
help ensure directional movement of materials
11
desmosomes
 
"spot welds"
12
gap junctions
 
allow communication
13
passive transport
 
diffusion, no outside energy required
14
active transport
 
energy required
15
diffusion
 
random movement toward a state of equilibrium.. net movement from regions of greater concentration...
16
simple diffusion
 
small molecules pass through the phospholipid bilayer
17
osmosis
 
diffusion process where water molecules are abundant enough and small enough that they move...
18
isotonic solutions
 
equal solute concentrations
19
hypertonic solution
 
has a higher solute concentration than the other solution with which it is being compared (lose...
20
hypotonic solutions
 
has a lower solute concentration than the other solution with which it is being compared (take...
21
turgor pressure
 
keeps plants upright and it is the driving force for the enlargement of plant cells.
22
facilitated diffusion
 
integral membrane proteins may form channels, binding to a membrane protein called a carrier...
23
active transport
 
opposite of diffusion- against concentration gradient
24
uniport
 
single substance in one direction
25
symport
 
moves two substances in the same direction
26
antiport
 
moves two substances in opposite directions. (ex. sodium-potassium pump)
27
primary active transport
 
requires the direct participation of ATP
28
secondary active transport
 
does not use ATP directly.. energy supplied from primary active transport
29
endocytosis
 
bring into the eukaryotic cell (phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis)
30
exocytosis
 
materials secreted out of a cell when the vesicle membrane fuses with the plasma membrane
31
aquaporins
 
water enters the cells through these special water channels
32
ATP
 
an energy-storage compound containing adenine, ribose, and 3 phosphate groupls. useful energy....
33
catalysts
 
speed up the rate of the reaction- most are enzymes (proteins) that act as a framework in which...
34
activation energy
 
the amount of energy required to start the reaction
35
induced fit
 
enzymes change shape when they bind to a substrate
36
fuels
 
molecules whose stored energy can be release for use (most common is glucose)
37
glucose oxidation if O2 is present
 
glycolosis, pyruvate oxidation, citric acid cycle, and electron transport chain
38
glucose oxidation if O2 is not present
 
pyruvate is metabolized in fermentation
39
coenzyme NAD
 
electron carrier in redox reactions (NAD+ is oxidized and NADH + H+ is reduced)
40
kinase
 
an enzyme that catalyzes transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to another substrate
41
substrate-level phosphorylation
 
enzyme-catalyzed transfer of a phosphate group to ADP
