6. The steroid cholesterol has different effects on membrane fluidity at different temperatures At warm temperatures (such as 37°C), cholesterol restrains movement of phospholipids At cool temperatures, it maintains fluidity by preventing tight packing Cholesterol

7. Phytosterol The FDA has approved the following claim for phytosterols: "Foods containing at least 0.4 gram per serving of plant sterols, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 0.8 gram, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease."* The mechanism behind phytosterols and the lowering of cholesterol occurs as follows: the incorporation of cholesterol into micelles in the gastrointestinal tract is inhibited, decreasing the overall amount of cholesterol absorbed (see cholesterol absorption inhibitor). This may in turn help to control body total cholesterol levels, as well as modify HDL, LDL and TAG levels. Many margarines, butters, breakfast cereals and spreads are now enriched with phytosterols and marketed towards people wishing to lower their cholesterol levels.micellesgastrointestinal tract cholesterol absorption inhibitormargarinesbuttersbreakfast cereals dietary sterols might increase the risk of aortic valve stenosis.[9]aortic valve stenosis[9]

17. Aquaporin Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins Aquaporins are "the plumbing system for cells Agre said he discovered aquaporins "by serendipity." His lab had an N.I.H. grant to study the Rh blood group antigen. They isolated the Rh molecule but a second molecule, 28 kilodaltons in size (and therefore called 28K) kept appearing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aquaporin_Z.png

22. How Ion Pumps Maintain Membrane Potential Membrane potential is the voltage difference across a membrane Voltage is created by differences in the distribution of positive and negative ions

23. collectively called the electrochemical gradient, drive the diffusion of ions across a membrane: –A chemical force (the ion ’ s concentration gradient) –An electrical force (the effect of the membrane potential on the ion ’ s movement) Two combined forces

24. An electrogenic pump is a transport protein that generates voltage across a membrane sodium-potassium pump : The sodium-potassium pump is the major electrogenic pump of animal cells proton pump The main electrogenic pump of plants, fungi, and bacteria is a proton pump

26. Cotransport: Coupled Transport by a Membrane Protein Cotransport occurs when active transport of a solute indirectly drives transport of another solute Plants commonly use the gradient of hydrogen ions generated by proton pumps to drive active transport of nutrients into the cell

28. Concept 7.5: Bulk transport across the plasma membrane occurs by exocytosis and endocytosis In exocytosis, transport vesicles migrate to the membrane, fuse with it, and release their contents –Many secretory cells use exocytosis to export their products In endocytosis, the cell takes in macromolecules by forming vesicles from the plasma membrane –There are three types of endocytosis: –Phagocytosis ( “ cellular eating ” ) –Pinocytosis ( “ cellular drinking ” ) –Receptor-mediated endocytosis
