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 |
