BIOL 235 - Chapter 3 (161
questions already graded
A+)

3 main components of a cell - answer living
structural/functional units that have unique roles
(plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus)


structure/functions of plasma membrane - answer
cell's outer surface; separates the internal/external
environments with a selective barrier that
regulates flow of materials


main components of cytoplasm - answer all
cellular contents between plasma membrane and
nucleus
cytosol (intracellular fluid)
organelles (each have a characteristic
shape/function)


main components of nucleus - answer organelle
houses the cell's DNA; (chromosome: single DNA
molecule containing genes: hereditary units
controlling cell structure/function)

,fluid mosaic model - answer structural model of
plasma membrane (fluid lipids with a mosaic of
proteins floating or anchored)


lipid bilayer - answer made of 2 layers of
amphipathic lipid molecules (hydrophilic heads
facing out, hydrophobic tails facing in); contains
phospholipids, cholesterol, glycolipids


phospholipids - answer contain phosphorus
(compose 75% of membrane lipids)


cholesterol - answer steroid with attached OH
(hydroxyl) group (20%)


glycolipids - answer lipids with attached
carbohydrate groups (5%)


4 types of membrane proteins - answer Integral:
firmly embedded, amphipathic


Transmembrane: protrude into
cytosol/extracellular fluid


Peripheral: not firmly embedded, attach to polar
heads

, Glycoprotein: have carbohydrate groups and
glycocalyx (sugary coating)


integral proteins - answer extend into or through
the lipid bilayer and are firmly embedded in it


transmembrane proteins - answer integral
proteins that span entire lipid bilayer and protrude
into both the cytosol and extracellular fluid


glycoproteins - answer proteins with
carbohydrate groups attached to the ends that
protrude into extracellular fluid


glycocalyx - answer sugary coat of carbohydrate
portions of glycolipids/glycoprotens


peripheral proteins - answer not as firmly
embedded in membrane, attached to the polar
heads of membrane lipids or to integral proteins at
the inner/outer surface of the membrane, can
serve as enzymes and linkers


6 functions of membrane proteins - answer ion
channel
