Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 7 Membrane Structure and Function Membranes and membrane transport are fundamental to cellular life. The concepts in this chapter require integration of concepts from previous chapters: the nature of water and hydrophobic versus hydrophilic molecules, the properties of lipid molecules and their role in regulating membrane fluidity, and the roles of proteins and carbohydrates in membrane function. The concepts of ion transport and electrochemical gradients across membranes are important foundations for the following chapters on energy metabolism. Finally, the bulk transport phenomena have important clinical significance in the immune system, during invasion by pathogens, and in cell signaling. Multiple-Choice Questions

Nutrition In order for the human body to be healthy and resistant to disease, good nutrition is required. All living things are made of chemicals. In order to grow, develop and maintain bodily structures and functions, specific chemicals must be acquired from the food we eat. In a sense, we are what we eat. Nutrients can be divided into the following categories: Nutrients Overview Carbohydrates ? sugar based molecules that are metabolized for energy in cellular respiration and make up the structural components of plant cell walls. Lipids ? fat based molecules that store large quantities of energy. These molecules also make up the structure of cell membranes.

David Kim 4/2/14 Dr. Oliveira AP Biology All cells have plasma membranes, cytosol, chromosomes and ribosomes. Prokaryotic cells do not have nuclei so the genetic information is in what is called the nucleoid. Prokaryotes also lack membrane bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells have genetic information known as DNA bound by a nuclear envelope. They also have membrane bound organelles like the Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi apparatus.

Catabolic Reactions -These types of reactions break down large molecules into smaller ones. These reactions release energy. Anabolic Reactions -These types of reactions build large molecules from smaller components. These reactions consume energy. ATP-The main form of cellular energy. These molecules have a structure that is easy to form and easy to break to access the stored energy. Entropy - A measure of the disorder of a system. The amount of free energy lost to the environment is an example Polarity - Uneven distribution of charges across a molecule. Hydrogen Bonding - Attraction between positive charge on a hydrogen in a dipole and the negative end of another molecule. Think water! Adhesion - The attraction of a water molecule to another substance

Cell Membrane Fluid Mosaic Model: Cell membranes consist of a fluid formed by a phospholipid bilayer and a ?mosaic?, or patchwork, of proteins Phospholipid: Polar and hydrophilic head, nonpolar and hydrophobic fatty acid tail Cell membrane also called plasma membrane Outside the membrane there is interstitial fluid, which is a salty liquid Inside the membrane there is the cytosol, which is mostly water. The cytosol is also the water portion of the cytoplasm Phospholipid bilayer: Formed since the hydrophilic heads form hydrogen bonds with water, causing the heads to face the water on either side. Since the fatty acid tails are hydrophobic, they cluster together within the bilayer

Chapter 8: Membrane structure and function Membrane Structure Membrane models have evolved to fit new data Membranes are fluid Membranes are mosaics of structure and function Membrane carbohydrates are important for cell-cell recognition Traffic across membranes A membranes molecular organization results in selective permeability Permeability of the lipid bilayer Transport proteins Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane Osmosis is the passive transport of water Cell survival depends on balancing water uptake and loss Water balance of cells without walls Water balance of cells with walls Specific proteins facilitate the passive transport of water and selected solutes Active transport is the pumping of solutes against their gradients
