What are the 3 types of membrane transport proteins?
Transmembrane Proteins
Lipid Anchored Proteins
Peripheral Membrane Proteins
What is the purpose of transport proteins?
Transport Proteins are transmembrane proteins that provide a passageway for the movement of ions and hydrophilic molecules across membranes
What are 3 factors that affect fluidity in the cell membrane?
Length of fatty acyl tails
Presence of double bonds
Presence of cholesterol
What molecules diffuse faster polar or non polar?
Nonpolar molecules diffuse faster
In passive transport molecules move from _____ concentrations to ___ concentrations?
high to low
Transmembrane Proteins are folded in what?
Alpha helices
Channel Transport Proteins use that kind of transport?
Passive transport
During High temperatures the fluidity of the cell membrane becomes what?
Too fluid, leaky cell membrane
Do small or big molecules diffuse faster?
Small molecules diffuse faster
What is osmosis?
Diffusion of H2O across a selectively permeable membrane
What is a lipid anchored protein?
Lipid molecules from membrane attached to amino acid chain of protein
What is an Antiporter?
Two or more ions or molecules transported in opposite directions
During low temperatures the fluidity of the cell membrane becomes what?
Too solid, nonfunctional membrane proteins
_________ movement of lipids within the cell membrane?
semi-fluid
What is passive transport?
diffusion ,Requires no energy
What are peripheral proteins bound by?
Hydrogen bond or ionic bonds
What two features allow transport proteins to move ions and molecules across the membrane?
Hydrophilic pocket and Conformational change
How does the presence of Cholesterol affect the fluidity of the cell membrane?
Cholesterol tends to stabilize the membrane
What does the rate of diffusion depend on?
Depends on the chemistry of solute and its concentration
What is a transmembrane gradient?
Concentration of a solute is higher on one side of a membrane than the other.
What are peripheral proteins bound to?
Transmembrane protein
What is an example of a channel transport protein?
aquaporins
How does the length of fatty acyl tails affect the fluidity of the cell membrane?
Shorter acyl tails are less likely to interact, making membrane more fluid
Draw a Phospholipid?
What is ion electrochemical gradient?
Both an electrical gradient and chemical gradient
