Document Summary
Lab worth 20: 2 lab reports 3% each, lab exam 14% Membrane characteristics: membrane structure, membrane proteins, membrane components, glycosylation. Techniques to study membranes: cell separation and purification, spectroscopy, microscopy. Membrane function: clathrin and cholesterol, membrane transport and endocytosis, gated ion channels, signal transduction. Describe techniques to study membrane and cellular biology. Understand the various functions of cellular membranes. Types: plasma membrane, mitochondrial membrane, golgi bodies, lysozymes, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus. Dynamic: move around all the type and in different directions (never stay in one place) Regulation of materials entering and exiting the cell. Cellular membranes differ in different cell types and organelles. Functions of cellular membranes are many and diverse. The hydrophobic effect is how an aqueous medium deals with: hydrocarbon, non-polar molecules. There is a linear relationship between the change in delta g and the hydrocarbon tail length of the long chain fatty acids.
