Protein Function
This protein function helps cells of the proper type stick to one another. This is what allows our tissues to form!
What is adhesion?
What is the plasma membrane?
The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
What is osmosis?
This is when transport across the biological membrane requires energy ad moves against the concentration gradient.
What is active transport?
This has phosphate heads and fatty acid tails.
What is a phospholipid bilayer?
This solution has a higher concentration of solutes.
What is hypertonic?
This type of transport does not require the use of ATP.
What is passive transport?
The model that says that the membrane is made up of proteins, cholesterol, and phospholipids.
What is the Fluid Mosaic Model?
Water flows into and out of the selectively permeable membrane evenly in this kind of solution.
What is an isotonic solution?
These two things can pass through a plasma membrane.
What are hydrophobic molecules and very small hydrophilic molecules?
This solution has a higher concentration of water.
What is hypotonic?
In recognition proteins, glycoproteins act as these.
What are identification tags?
This is a parasite that hijacks the cell membrane in mice and makes them unafraid of cats.
You place a dialysis bag with a solution with 9% solute in a beaker with a solution with 2% solute. What happens to your bag?
What is the bag gains weight?
