Document Summary
The eukaryotic cell: what makes it different from prokaryotes. Regulate movement of materials between cell/organelles and their environment next lecture. Enable cells/organelles to respond to signals in their environment. How proteins in the membrane interact with the substrate. Membranes divide the eukaryotic cell up into functional compartments. Membrane structure two lipid leaflets (lipid bilayer) The top cilia interact with the outside of the gut where it absorbs the nutrients. The nutrient and products ad transported into the cell to by synthesized. Whole cell has a plasma membrane around the outside of the cell. Lipid bilayer arrangement forms spontaneously lowest free energy. Self-sealing property of lipid bilayer if there is a tear in the membrane, it can be sealed up the membrane continues to strive to be in the most energetically favourable state. Membranes can form balls around products or waste in order to move things and out of the cell creating of vesiclels.
