Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Cellular Organelles after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Plasma membrane is selectively permeable.
  • Fluid Mosaic Model was proposed by Singer and Nicolson in 1972.
  • Phospholipid bilayer gives the membrane its basic structure.
  • Cell wall is absent in animal cells.
  • Bacterial wall contains peptidoglycan cross-linked by tetrapeptides.
  • Antibiotics can inhibit peptidoglycan cross-linking.
  • Endomembrane system includes ER, Golgi complex, lysosomes, and vacuole.
  • ER is present only in eukaryotic cells.
  • RER has ribosomes; SER lacks ribosomes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The plasma membrane and cell wall are the same structure.

The fluid mosaic model means the membrane is solid and fixed in place.

Facilitated diffusion, symport, antiport, and active transport all mean the same thing.

Memory Tips

Fluid Mosaic Model of plasma membrane

Plasma membrane composition varies in different cells

Peripheral and integral membrane proteins

Mesosomes increase membrane surface area
