What are lipid soluble and can pass through membranes rapidly?
gas and hydrophobic molecules
ie. O2, CO2, benzene
What does not cross the membranes rapidly?
polar molecules
ie glucose
How do cells exchange lipid-insoluble and charged molecules iwth the ECF?
by using carrier proteins
some substances pass through by virtue o simple laws of physical chemistry
passive transport
substances transported that require enegy expenditure by the cell
active transport
what are three factors that affect diffusion?
P
A
delta C
What is fick's law
the rate of diffusion : J=-PA(C1-C2)
permeability coefficient
=D*beta/X
What is X?
membrane thickness
What is beta(K)
lipid solubility so solubility in oil/solubility in H2O
Permeability coefficients in lipid liblayer membranes is low for ___ and high for ___
low-charged ions
high-H2O
Although Na+ is a smaller entity than K+, when these ions are in solution (hydrated)...
Na+ has a larger diameter than does K+.
The larger the surface area of a membrane,
the bigger the gradient, the more molecules that can diffuse through it.
Permeabillity coefficient is affected by
1. partition coefficient(lipid solubility)
2. substance size
3. membrane thickness
Osmosis
flow of H2O (solvent) across a semipermeable membrane from a low solute concentration to a higher solute concentration.
osmotic pressure
pi=(n/V)RT
pi=g*C*RT
osmolarity
concentration of osmotically active particles in solution: g*c
where g is # of particles and c is concentration
osmolarity of 1M NaCl
2x1M=2osm/L
colligative properties
properties that depend only on the number of solute particles in solution and not the nature of the solute particles
osmotic pressure is a ____ property
colligative
What are contributors of plasma?
1. Na+ along with Cl- and HCO3-
2. plasma proteins
3. glucose and urea, major nonelectrolytes
What is BUN
blood urea nitrogen a contributor of plasma
The osmolal concentration of a substance in a fluid is measured by the degree to which it depresses the freezing point, with 1 mol of an ideal solution dpressing the freezing point by ___
1.86degreesC
tonicity
ability of a solution to cause water movement across membranes. realted to hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic cellular states...
often used to describe the osmolality of a solution relative to plasma
