Specific molecules based on size and charge that goes thru the leakage channel (always open) or gated channel (controlled by signals) Mostly ions |
|
|

Diffusion of water from hight to low concentration |
|
|
Where does water move? |
Water moves to where the "stuff" are |
|
|
Tonicity |
Ability of a solution to change shape of the cell by changing water volume |
|
|
Hypotonic |
More concentrate inside the cell Lysis, cell bursts |
Hippo likes? |
|
Hypertonic |
More concentration outside of cell so water leaves the cell Crenation - shriveled |
|
|
Isotonic |
Equal numbers of the concentration in and outside of the cell |
|
|
Active Transport, name some examples |
Requires E input, ATP Primary, Secondary, and Vesicular |
|
|
Primary Active Transport |
Solute travels against gradient Direct use of ATP Sodium Potassium Pump |
|
|
Sodium Potassium Pump |
3 Na+ out, 2 K+ in More K inside, More Na outside ATP used |
|
|
Secondary Active Transport |
Displays specificity Indirect use of ATP As one substance travels down its gradient, it "pulls" another substance along |
|
|
Vesicular Transport |
No proteins, moved by vesicles Larger particles Powered by ATP |
|
|
Endocytosis, examples? |
Substances moved into cell Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis, Receptor mediated Endocytosis |
|
|
Exocytosis, how? Example? |
Substances move out of cell Fusion with plasma membrane by vesicles and released to the outside Example. Neurotransmitter |
|
|
Phagocytosis : specificity? Definition? Example? |
Maybe specific, large particles "engulfs/eats" material to form phagosome Combines lysosome to digest material Example. Macrophages |
|
|
Pinocytosis : specificity? Definition? Example? |
Nonspecific, small particles "dirt", sampling of extracellular fluid Example. Intestinal cell absorbing nutrients |
|
|
Receptor mediated Endocytosis : specificity? Definition? Example? |
Specific Receptors outside of membrane Example. Insulin, LDL |
|
|
What are the charges of the plasma membrane? |
Inside (-), outside (+) Due to chemical and electrical gradient Proteins line the inside of the membrane unable to leave |
Inside? Outside? Where do proteins line? |
|
K is the chemical formula for? |
Potassium |
|
|
P is the chemical formula for? |
Phosphorus |
|
|
What is the chemical and electrical gradient? |
Electrical: More K+ inside of cell so it attracts (-) charge Chemical: pulls it out |
Potassium pull... |
|
What is RMP? |
When concentration and electrical gradient equalizes |
Resting membrane potential |
|
G-Link Receptors (steps) |
1. First chemical messenger binds to membrane receptor 2. In turn sets off the second messenger G protein acts as a relay messenger |
|
|
Cillia |
Cellular extensions found on the apical side of a tissue |
|
|
Flagella |
