66 views13 pages

Document Summary

Membrane structure and functions: plasma membrane: encloses contents of entire cell, all cells have a plasma membrane, eukaryotic cells: membrane-bound organelles. Functions of membrane: selectively permeable barrier, transport solutes, other functions aren"t talked about in this unit (respond to external signals unit 8, energy transduction, compartmentalization (eukaryotes, diagram is self-explanatory shows membranes as selectively permeable membrane. Membrane lipids: membrane phospholipids, all membrane lipids are amphipathic (has polar and nonpolar component, combine with unit 2b carbs and lipids not. Factors affecting membrane fluidity: general strategies, decreasing hydrophobic content increase fluidity of membrane. Role of golgi apparatus: flippase catalyzes transfer of specific phospholipids to cytosolic monolayer, phospholipids no longer symmetrically distributed membrane asymmetry from now on. Inexpensive and readily available: already present in single cell suspension, simple no nucleus, er, mitochondria, lysosome. Membrane proteins (focus on transporter proteins: membrane proteins usually differentiate membranes from each other, also associate with the membranes in different ways.
