Document Summary

Complex nucleic acid: phosphorylated nucleotides assembled together. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base (adenine, tyrosine, guanine, cytosine), a sugar (deoxyribose for. Dna or ribose for rna), and a phosphate. Cell membrane= plasma membrane= lipids and proteins: roles of the proteins: channels, enzymes, receptors. Receptor protein: a receptor that binds to chemical messengers such as hormones sent by other cells. Enzyme: an enzyme that breaks down a chemical messenger and terminates its effect. Ion channel: a channel protein that is constantly open and allows ions to pass into and out of the cell. Gated ion channel: opens and closes to allow ions through only at certain times. Cell-identify marker: a glycoprotein acting as a cell-identity marker distinguishing the body"s own cells from foreign cells: cell membranes separate into compartments, phospholipid bilayers are a barrier to anything that is not lipid-soluble. Ion examples: sodium is higher outside than inside. Potassium is lower on the outside than inside.
