a Found in plants, fungi, protists, and bacteria. They develop outside the plasma membrane and provide support for the cell. In plants, This consists mainly of cellulose - a polysaccharide of B-glucose) These of fungi- cellulose or chitin Chitin-modified polysaccharide differing from cellulose in that one of the hydroxyl groups is replaced by a group containing nitrogen
b fluid filled
c proteins that distinguish the identity of neighboring cells. These proteins are glycoproteins b/c they have short polysaccharide chains (oliosaccharides) attached. The oligosaccharide part of the glycoprotein protrudes from the surface of the membrane like an antenna
d consists of stacks of flattened sacs involved in the production of various materials. When ribosomes present, (rough X) creates glycoproteins by attaching polysaccharide groups to polypeptides as they are assembled by the ribosomes. (Smooth X) w/o Ribosomes - is responsible for the synthesis of lipids and hormones, esp in cells that produce these substances for export from the cell. In livercells, Smooth X breakdown: toxins, drugs, and toxic by-products from cellular reactions
e proteins that spend energy (ATP) to transfer materials across the membrane. When energy is used for this purpose, the materials are said to be actively transported and the process is called active transport
5 Multiple Choice Questions
proteins that may extend into the cell membrane and appear at both surfaces (transmembrane proteins). Like phospholipids, these are amphpathic, w/ the hydrophobic regions embedded in the membrane and the hydrophilic regions exposed to the aqueous solutions bordering the membrane
(p/c) is selectively permeable. Only small, uncharged, polar molecules (such as H20 and CO2) and hydrophobic molecules (nonpolar molecules like O2 and lipid-soluble molecules such as hydrocarbons) freely pass across the membrane. In contrast, large polar molecules (such as glucose) and all ions are impermeable
the mosaic nature of scattered proteins w/in a flexible matrix of phospholipid molecules describes this
(p/cm) is a carbohydrate "coat" covering the outer face of the plasma membrane. It conissts of various oligosaccharides (short polysaccharide chains) that are attached to membrane phospholipids (glycolipids) and proteins (such as glycoproteins/recognition). This provides markers for cell-cell recognition
proteins that attach cells to neighboring cells or provide anchors for the internal filaments and tubules that give stability to the cell
5 True/False Question
Receptor proteins → protein providing binding sites for hormones or other trigger molecules. In response to the hormone or trigger molecule, a specific cell response is activated
Channel proteins → proteins that may extend into the cell membrane and appear at both surfaces (transmembrane proteins). Like phospholipids, these are amphpathic, w/ the hydrophobic regions embedded in the membrane and the hydrophilic regions exposed to the aqueous solutions bordering the membrane
Flagella and cilia → Found in plants, fungi, protists, and bacteria. They develop outside the plasma membrane and provide support for the cell. In plants, This consists mainly of cellulose - a polysaccharide of B-glucose) These of fungi- cellulose or chitin Chitin-modified polysaccharide differing from cellulose in that one of the hydroxyl groups is replaced by a group containing nitrogen
lysosome → are vesicles from a Golgi apparatus that contain digestive enzymes. the break down of food, cellular debris, and foreign invaders sac as bacteria. This does NOT occur in plant cells.
Intermediate filaments → protein fiber that provides suppor for maintaining the shape of the cell
