Membrane
Made up of two layers of phospholipids
What is a biological membrane?
Water moves across membranes through water
channels
What are aquaporins?
Place where proteins get tagged and sorted for delivery
What is the Golgi?
Energy-processing chemical reactions in mitochondria
What is cellular respiration?
Proteins that interact with the polar headgroups only
What are peripheral membrane proteins?
Pumps one molecule in and one molecule out
What is an antiporter?
Release off Golgi and are filled with proteins destined for different places around cell
What are vesicles?
An atom or molecule loses an electron
Molecules that can cross the membrane with no help
What are small, nonpolar molecules?
The cells need to be thinly sectioned to obtain an image
What is transmission electron microscopy?
Contains hydrolytic enzymes to break down
macromolecules
What are lysosomes?
The energy carrying molecules in a cell
What are Glucose, ATP, and NADH
The polarity of the tail and head on a phospolipid
What is a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head?
The fluid portion of cytoplasm, including dissolved
molecules
What is a cytosol?
Proteins leave from here and arrive to the Golgi
What is the Rough ER?
You use NADH and get lots of ATP in return during this step
What is the Electron Transport Chain?
Glycerol backbone and 3 fatty acids attached together
What is a phospholipid?
The resolution of this microscopy is excellent, however is the specimen is usually no longer alive
What is Electron Microscopy?
The way vesicles release contents outside of cell
What is exocytosis?
The steps of extracting energy from glucose
What are Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain?
