Glycolipids Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Functions of biological membranes correct answer: - barrier (import/export) -compartmentalization of essential molecules (incrs. efficiency) - cell signaling-mediated by pr & lipids (receptors) - modulate cell-cell recognition (glycoproteins & glycolipids) What's responsible for membrane formation correct answer: decrease in ionic interactions w/ h2o (HYDROPHOBIC EFFECT) -h20X tails aggregate to hide from h2o (lots of n-c interactions) -polar heads interact w/ h2o Decreases membrane ...

VCE BIOLOGY UNIT 3/4 COMPLETE MATERIAL GUIDE Plasma Membrane - Barrier of a cell and controls everything that comes in and out Aquaporins allow water to travel through Semi-permeable Composed of phospholipids Stabilised by glycoproteins and glycolipids

Carbohydrate, Lipid, Nucleic Acid, Protein, Enzyme Carbohydrate: Sugars and starches which body breaks down to glucose ● Structural function: cellulose and chitin ● Energy storage: amylose, amylopectin, glycogen ● Recognition molecules: glycoproteins and glycolipids Lipids: Fatty acids and their derivatives that are soluble inwater ● H and C and main components ● Fats ● Hydrophobic- thus help separate aqueous compartments ● Store energy (fats, oils, adipose) Protein: Mole...

CELL PHYSIOLOGY PRACTICE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+ How big is a typical human cell and can you see it with the naked eye? - Correct Answer ️️ -10 um and no Why is a cell roughly 10 um? - Correct Answer ️️ -This size allows the cell to effectively communicate with its environment through its plasma membrane. What would happen if a cell got bigger than 10um? - Correct Answer ️️ -cell's membrane would not be able to efficiently communicate with its environment due to the ...
