Study Notes
-
The plasma membrane encases each cell and controls the selective entry and exit of substances, maintaining the internal environment's chemical composition.
-
The membrane's permeability depends on particle size; small molecules can diffuse through, while larger ones are confined to interstitial or intracellular fluids.
-
Membrane proteins function in various roles, including acting as 'self' markers, receptors for hormones and other chemical messengers, enzymes, and forming channels for substance transport.
-
Passive transport occurs when substances move down their concentration gradient across the membrane without using energy, involving diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
-
Osmosis is passive water movement across a semipermeable membrane, following a concentration gradient.
-
Active transport moves substances against their concentration gradient, utilizing chemical energy (ATP), and includes the sodium-potassium pump, which maintains ion concentrations.
-
Bulk transport involves particles too large to cross cell membranes, which are engulfed by the cell through pinocytosis or phagocytosis and are subsequently digested in lysosomes.
-
Organelles are specialized subunits within cells, each performing distinct functions and enclosed by their own membrane, including the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and cytoskeleton.
-
All body cells, except mature erythrocytes, contain a nucleus, and some cells like muscle fibers have multiple nuclei.

Organelles are specialized subunits within cells, each performing distinct functions and enclosed by their own membrane, including the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and cytoskeleton.
-
All body cells, except mature erythrocytes, contain a nucleus, and some cells like muscle fibers have multiple nuclei.
-
The plasma membrane encases each cell and controls the selective entry and exit of substances, maintaining the internal environment's chemical composition.
-
The membrane's permeability depends on particle size; small molecules can diffuse through, while larger ones are confined to interstitial or intracellular fluids.
-
Membrane proteins function in various roles, including acting as 'self' markers, receptors for hormones and other chemical messengers, enzymes, and forming channels for substance transport.
-
Passive transport occurs when substances move down their concentration gradient across the membrane without using energy, involving diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
-
Osmosis is passive water movement across a semipermeable membrane, following a concentration gradient.
-
Active transport moves substances against their concentration gradient, utilizing chemical energy (ATP), and includes the sodium-potassium pump, which maintains ion concentrations.
