Document Summary

Gsa 4 outcomes: meaning of hydrophilic, hydrophobic, fatty acid, saturated, membrane fluidity, desaturase, membrane permeability, transmembrane protein (integral membrane protein), peripheral protein, simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion. Plasma membrane: outer limit of the cytoplasm responsible for the regulation of substances moving into and out of cells. Phospholipids: a phosphate containing lipid: they are amphipathic: containing a region that is hydrophobic and one that is hydrophilic. Hydrophilic: water loving polar molecules - charged. Hydrophobic: water fearing non-polar molecules - uncharged. Phospholipid: 2 long chains of carbon and a hydrogen called a fatty acid. Fatty acid: single hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group linked at one end insoluble. Saturated fatty acids: fatty acids with only single bonds linking the carbon. Unsaturated fatty acids: prevented from packing closely together because of atoms linear the presence of double bonds. Desaturases: class of enzymes that introduce double bonds into fatty acids, altering their degree of saturation. Integral membrane protein: proteins imbedded in the phospholipid bi-layer.
