Document Summary

Vocabulary to know chapters 6, 7, 11, 12. Integral protein: a protein permanently attached to a membrane. Peripheral protein: a protein that temporarily attached to the membrane (either lipid bilayer or integral proteins) Diffusion: net movement from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. Osmosis: a special case of diffusion net water (solvent) movement across a membrane. Passive transport: doesn"t require an input of energy. Active transport: move against ( up ) a concentration gradient. Turgor pressure: hydrostatic pressure pushes membrane against the cell wall. Aquaporin: a group of proteins in cell membranes that allow the passage of water across the membrane. Carrier (protein): integral protein that undergoes conformational changes that allow transport. Ion channel: integral protein that surrounds an aqueous pore that allows for large and charged atoms to go through the membrane. Gated channel: channel through a membrane that can be opened or closed.
