Internal Environment Regulation Focus: Lipids form membranes to MAINTAIN homeostasis
Homeostasis O How do we define this? O internal conditions remain stable and relatively constant. O How do organisms maintain homeostasis? O regulate temperature O balance of pH
Cell Membrane O Two Functions: O provides a boundary from outside environment O controls what goes in and out of cell O Why is this important for homeostasis?
Polarity O Defined: separation of electrical charge due to interactions O Polarity exists for both: O Atoms within a molecule interacting O Molecules interacting with other molecules
Polar Molecules Nonpolar Molecules O electrons are NOT shared evenly O Atoms involved? O electrons are shared equally O Atoms involved?
Nonpolar molecules: Lipids O Defined: organic compounds that are insoluble in water O Ex. Fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids O Make cell membranes
Lipid Monomers O glycerol and fatty acids O Types of fatty acids: O Unsaturated O Saturated
Lipid Monomer: Glycerol
Lipid Monomer: Fatty Acid
Dehydration Synthesis 1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids 1 triglyceride + 3 H 2 O Monomer + monomer = polymer + water
Lipid Monomer: Fatty Acid
Triglyceride
Hydrolysis Synthesis O 1 triglyceride + 3 H 2 O 1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids O Opposite of dehydration, we are reversing the process
Membrane Permeability I 2 iodine Starch molecule On bottom corner, answer following question: What is the dialysis tubing selective against? Explain your reasoning. Turn in labs now
Permeability O permeability: how porous a material is O SELECTIVE PERMEABILITY: is when a membrane only allows certain molecules to cross. Ex. the “bouncer” O Draw cell membrane on board
Passive Transport O uses the natural flow of molecules to allow them to cross the membrane. O concentration gradient below.
Diffusion O movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
Osmosis (pg ) O What determines the water’s movement? O /student_view0/chapter5/how_o smosis_works.html /student_view0/chapter5/how_o smosis_works.html
