Culture Documents
compartment themselves
reactants present, relative position not
stabilized; interaction dependent on random
collisions
energy transduction
photosynthesis
light absorbed by membraned bound
pigments-> chemical energy stored in
carbohydrates
signal transduction
- 3 types
central dogma
focused on physical state of lipid
presented in fluid state; lipid molecules move
laterally within plane of membrane
MEMBRANE LIPIDS
1. Phosphoglycerides
additional
group: choline
(phosphatidylcholine, PC), ethanolamine
(PE), serine (PS), inositol (PI)
amphiphatic
FA chains are longer and highly saturated
glycolipids- Nervous system, myelin sheath
(galactocerebroside)
3. Cholesterol
MEMBRANE CARBOHYDRATES
membrane
2. Peripheral Proteins
freeze-fracture replication
- structure and properties
r e s h u f fl i n g c h a i n s b e t . d i f f e r e n t
phospholipids to form 2 unsaturated FA
(lower temp) (by phospholipases- split FA
from glycerol backbone; acyltransferasestransfer FA)
Lipid Rafts
electrochemical gradient
- solute is an electrolyte (charged)
- charges are opposite, moving process is
favorable
- Diffusion
substance move from region of higher
concentration to lower to regulate overall
concentration
Active Transport
- input of energy
Membrane Potentials and Nerve Impulses
- irritability
- nerve cells (neurons) specialized for collection,
conduction, transmission of information - form
of fast moving electrical impulses
synaptic vesicles
neurotransmitters
