BIOL 2051 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Endergonic Reaction, Cellular Respiration, Exergonic Reaction
Document Summary
Chapter 5 answers: the biomembrane that effectively separates the cell from the environment, moves items such as molecules or ions from one side of the membrane to the other. Lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates: semifluid, fluid mosaic (not a rigid structure, made of different types of biological molecules, temperature keeps the membrane semifluid, at the perfect amount of fluidity. Facilitated diffusion: requires the help from a protein. Active transport: moving against the concentration gradient, low to high concentration. Endo- is when the plasma membrane invaginates around some molecule creating a vesicle inside of a cell: phagocytosis (big stuff), receptor mediated endocytosis (specific items), pinocytosis ( cell drinking whatever it catches in the extracellular fluid). Chapter 6 answers: the total of all chemical reactions in an organism, reversible is a reaction that can be reversed, water. Irreversible cannot be reversed, burning paper: kinetic: associated with movement.
