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
absorption
gi tract, transport of nutrients across intestinal epithelium into the bloodstream
resorption
kidney, transport of out of the urinary system back into the bloodstream
apical surface =
lumen of the gut
basolateral surface =
bloodstream
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
charge of cell inside vs. outside
negative inside and positive outside
ions in cell
K+ high, Na+ and Cl- low
ions out cell
Na+ and Cl- high, K+ low
resting potential is generated by
K+ moving down its concentration gradient
K+ in cell
at rest, K+ permeability is waayyyy higher than Na+ which allows for the next potential difference to be created
composition of ions inside vs. outside cell
100 mM KCl, 10 mM NaCl
100 mM NaCl, 10 mM KCl
resting membrane potential
created by K moving down its concentration gradient also the outward concentration gradient equals the inward electrical gradient
difference is cell electrical potential is created by
Na+/K+ ATPase
separation of charges across membrane, two requirements
1. requires expediture of ATP
2. have potential to to WORK
depolarization
inside of cell becomes way too (+) i.e. na enter the cell
hyperpolarization
cells become too (-) in the inside. i.e. if K+ leave the cell
