Document Summary

Topic ii: cell physiology i: the cell membrane, phospholipid bilayer. Barrier to water soluble substances not to small molecules and/or lipid soluble molecules (e. g. o2 & co2: membrane proteins, transport proteins, channels, carrier proteins water & specific ions. Can be: (cid:3843) gated: can open or close in response to stimuli (cid:3844) non-gated (= leakage channels): always open. Bind solute + carry it across membrane. Allow protein carrier-mediated facilitated transport or active. E. g. glucose transporters transport: receptor proteins neurotransmitters (nt) Can bind specific extracellular molecules (= ligands) e. g. hormones, E. g. glucose uptake: insulin binds to receptor on skel. muscle or adipose tissue, triggers movement of more glucose transporters to cell, (cid:1435) glucose movement from blood into cells membrane. Control chemical reactions on outer or inner surface. E. g. 2: na+/k+- atpase - all cells have this: enzymes, joining proteins. Anchor cell membrane to cytoskeleton or an adjacent cell: junctional proteins between cells forming: 2: extracellular fibres (usually glycoproteins, identifying proteins.
