Study Notes
-
Plasma membrane encloses each cell and provides selective permeability, controlling entry and exit of substances.
-
Selective permeability allows passage of small molecules by simple diffusion and large molecules only through pores or channels.
-
Some membrane proteins act as receptors for hormones and chemical messengers, others function as enzymes.
-
Membrane proteins with branched carbohydrate molecules act as 'self' markers, defining the cell's immunological identity.
-
Passive transport includes diffusion for small lipid-soluble and water-soluble molecules, as well as facilitated diffusion for larger, water-soluble substances.
-
Osmosis is passive movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.
-
Active transport moves substances against their concentration gradient using energy from ATP and specialized protein carrier molecules.
-
Sodium-potassium pump is an essential active transport mechanism, maintaining unequal concentrations of sodium and potassium ions.
-
Bulk transport of particles too large to cross cell membranes occurs by pinocytosis or phagocytosis, with subsequent digestion in lysosomes and extrusion through exocytosis.
-
Organelles, or small organs, have specialized functions and are often enclosed by their own membranes, including the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and cytoskeleton.
-
Nucleus, the control center of the cell, is present in all body cells except mature erythrocytes, also found in skeletal muscle fibers and some other cells.
