38 views6 pages

Document Summary

Know that components, properties, and functions of the cell membranes and other membranes in cells o. Know the difference between integral and peripheral membrane proteins. Know the structures that serve to attach cells to one another (tight junctions, desmosomes, gap junctions) o. Integral membrane proteins: closely associated with the membrane lipids and cannot be extracted from the membrane without disrupting the lipid bilayer. Amphipathic--polar amino acid side chains in one region of molecule and nonpolar side chain in another region. Polar regions are at the surfaces in association with polar water molecules, and the nonpolar regions are in the interior in association with nonpolar fatty acid chains. Know the structures that make up the cytoskeleton and what their functions are. Cytoskeleton: filamentous network associated with cell shape and movement. Plasma membrane: membrane that forms outer surface of cell and separates cell"s contents from extracellular fluid. Endoplasmic reticulum (er): serves as site for protein and lipid synthesis.
