Study Notes
Cell Membrane
- The cell membrane is a solid membrane approximately 11 nanometers thick.
- The diffusion of electrolytes across the membrane depends on both chemical and electrical potential differences.
- Glycoproteins and glycolipids, which have carbohydrate ("glyco") portions, extend outward from the cell's surface.
Carbohydrate Functions
- Carbohydrates contribute to cell-to-cell attachments.
Carrier Mediated Transport
- Carrier-mediated transport includes facilitated diffusion and active transport.
Features of Carrier-Mediated Transport
- Specificity: Binding sites on transport proteins recognize specific substances.
- Saturation: When all binding sites are occupied, transport reaches its maximum capacity.
- Competition: Chemically similar substances can compete for binding sites on the transport protein.
Active Transport
- Active transport moves molecules against their electrochemical gradient, requiring energy.
