osmoregulation involves what two organs?
|
intestine and kidney
|
|
make characteristic of a plasma membrane
|
they are semipermeable
|
|
what molecules can readily go through a plasma membrane?
|
steroids, hormones, estrogen, testosterone, lipid
|
|
is energy needed for facilitated diffusion?
|
no
|
|
three main proteins that carry out facilitated diffusion
|
ion channels, porins, and permeases
|
|
ion channels
|
pores where specific ions may pass
|
|
ligand-gated channels
|
open when specific regulatory molecules are present
|
|
example of ligand-gated channel
|
when IP3 is present, Ca+ is released
|
|
voltage gated channels
|
opened or closed in response to membrane potential
|
|
mechanogated channels
|
regulated through interactions with the subcellular proteins that make up the cytoskeleton
|
|
porins
|
work like ion channels but allow for much larger molecules to pass through. i.e. mitochondria have porins that can transfer ions from cytoplasm to mitochondria
|
|
aquaporins
|
transport large amounts of water through the plasma membrane. up to 3 billion water molecules per second. cn possibly transfer glycerol, urea, and gases
|
|
permease (also faciliated diffusion)
|
works like an enzyme to changed the conformation of a molecule and make it capable of transferring to the other side
|
|
unique quality about permease
|
they can become saturated with substrate at high concentration and it effects the rate at which the transport occurs.
|
|
primary active transport
|
exergonic reaction is used to get molecule across the membrane. most common is te hydrolysis of ATP
|
|
secondary active transport
|
couples the movement of one molecule to the movement of another molecule. the energy in electrochemical gradient in one molecule provides the energy to drive another molecule against its gradient
|
|
antiport/exchanger
|
secondary active transport where the molecules are moving in opposite directions
|
|
symport, cotransporter
|
secondary active transport where the molecules are moving in same directions
|
|
most animal cells, resting potential is
|
-5 mV to -100 mV. voltage it relative to the voltage outside of the cell. (-) means that interior is more (-) than the exterior of the cell
|
|
how do you create membrane potential?
|
insert K+ channels in to the plasma membrane, K+ will move out of the cell creating electronegativity.
|
|
4 main roles of the plasma membrane
|
1. maintain inter/intra cellular composition. traffic
2. forms a protein composition 3. detects chemical messengers 4. connects adjecent cells together, desmosomes, tight junctions, gap junctions |
|
gap junctions allow
|
mainly a passage for ions. creates an aqueous pore between two cells. hydrophillic chemical messengers flow through the junction
|
|
desmosomes
|
in charge or cell adherence to protain filaments
|
|
tight junction
|
two cells next to each other to the point where liquid cannot get through
|
|
rate if diffusion is greatest when
|
surface area and concentration are greatest
|
|
what is fick's law?`
|
law for rate of diffusion = concentration x SA/distance
|
|
flux
|
flow per unit area per time
|
|
multi-directional but
|
greater rate going towards low concentration
|
|
net flux
|
difference between the two one way fluxes
|
|
0 net flux =
|
equilibrium
|
|
factors that effect flux
|
molecule concentration, temperature (affects membrane fluidity and permeability), and permeability (membrane and fluid)
|
|
order of molecule permeability, most permeable to lease
|
1. small, uncharged nonpolar molecule (gases)
2. small, uncharged polar molecule (h2o, urea) 3. large, uncharged polar molecule (glucose, sucrose) 4. ion (Ca2+) |
|
osmosis
|
only thing that determines flow of water is total solute concentration, doesnt matter what type of molecule
|
|
1 osmole
|
measure number of solutes in moles
|
|
1 osmolar
|
measure of number of solutes in moles, per liter
|
|
osmolarity of humans
|
300 Osm
|
|
osmotic pressure
|
the pressure needed to oppose the flow
|
|
tonicity
|
effect on cell tone/volume. depdns on non-penetrating only
|
|
what kind of transport means does glucose use?
|
channel
|
|
diuresis
|
loss of water
|
|
antidiuesis
|
phys response that helps you retain water
|
|
ion channels
|
some are specific, some are not. ligand, voltage, mechnically gated activate
|
|
voltage gated
|
channel is open when potential is reached and resting potential begins again
|
|
mechnical
|
pressure sensitive, stretch
|
|
example of ligand gated
|
acetylcholine reg. Na+ into muscle cell
|
|
another name for permease
|
hexose transporter
|
|
allosteric protein
|
changes when something binds to it
|
|
how does active primary work?
|
molecule, signal carrier protein, atp is hydrolized, phosphate changes conformation of the carrier protain for that the ca or othe rmolecule can pas through
|
|
na/k pump
|
na signal phosphorylation, carrier protain changes conformation, na empties, k enters, triggers release of the phospate group, carrier protein changes back formation, k is released inside of cell
|
|
cotransport
|
na and molecule both move in same direction
|
|
countertransport/antoport
|
na nad molecule move in opp directions
|
|
exocytosis
|
fusion of the membrane bound vesicle that combines with the plasma membrane
|
|
endocytosis
|
uptake of extracellular fluid
|

transepithelial movement of sodium
|
diffusion from lumen to epithelial cell, active transport from ep. cell into the bloodstream. water follows also, even through tight junction
|
|
transepithelial movement of glucose
|
symport of glucose and sodium. glu2 is the permease (facilitated diffusion) that transports glucose form the ep. cell into the bloodstream. sodium enter bloodstream from primary active transport

|
|
ions in cell
|
K+ high, Na+ and Cl- low
|
|
ions out cell

|
100 mM KCl, 10 mM NaCl
100 mM NaCl, 10 mM KCl |
