Document Summary

Gsa 2 meaning of hydrophilic, hydrophobic, fatty acid, saturated, membrane fluidity, Membrane fluidity: membranes are not rigid with molecules locked into place but consist of proteins that move around within a mixture of lipid molecules. Influenced by type of fatty acid that make up the lipid molecule and temperature. Fatty acid: phospholipid that consists of a head group attached to two long chains of carbon and hydrogen. Saturated: all carbons are bound to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms. All single bonds; fully linear therefore can pack tightly. desaturase, membrane permeability, transmembrane protein (integral membrane protein), peripheral protein, simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion. Membrane permeability: selectively permeable to ions and molecules. transmembrane protein (integral membrane protein): proteins that are embedded in the phospholipid bilayer. They interact with the aqueous environment on the sides of the membrane and the hydrophobic core. Peripheral membrane proteins: positioned on the surface of a membrane, don"t interact with hydrophobic core.
