CHEM 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Lipid Bilayer, Osmotic Pressure, Passive Transport
Document Summary
*bolded words are important as likely show up on exam 1. Non-bolded may show up too on exams and quizzes. Chemical reactions that a cell carries out to maintain life. Regulates exchange between the cell and the environment, provide structural support and physically isolates the cell from its surroundings. Inside the plasma membrane, consist of both of the fluid cytosol and the structures embedded within it. A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell. Consist of long protein filaments that support the cell, help it maintain its shape, allow substances to be transported with in the cell and can move the cell is self. Membrane bounded organelle that houses most of the cells dna and controls many of the cells functions. A double layer of phospholipids that makes up plasma and organelle membranes. Main components of the plasma membrane are molecules called integral proteins.
