|
how is the speed of passive transport affected |
by the size and temperature |
|
what three ways can molecules move through the cell membrane with passive transport |
if it is lipid soluble, or if it is small enough to pass through the membrane channels or if it is assisted by a carrier molecule |
|
what is simple diffusion |
when nonpolar hydrophobic substances travel directly through the phospholipid bilayer |
|
what is facilitated diffusion |
certain lipophobic molecules are transported passively by binding to protein carriers or moving through water filled channel |
|
transmembrane integral proteins are ________ |
carriers |
|
leakage channels are always ________ |
open |
|
gated channels are ______ |
controlled by electrical of chemical signals. opens and closes to let certain things in or out |
|
what is osmosis |
movement of water through the membrane through the lipid bilayer or aquaporins |
|
measure of total concentration of solute particles |
osmolarity |
|
osmosis causes cells to ____ and ______ |
grow and shrink |
|
the ability of solution to alter cells water volume |
tonicity |
|
solution with the same solute concentration as the cytosol |
isotonic |
|
solution with higher solute concentration than cytosol |
hypertonic |
|
solution with lower solute concentration that cytosol |
hypotonic |
|
active transport requires what two things |
solute pumps and atp |
|
does active transport move with the concentration gradient or against it |
against |
|
primary active transport requires energy directly from |
atp hydrolysis |
|
most well studied solute pump |
sodium potassium pump |
|
where are sodium potassium pumps located |
in all plasma membranes |
|
what is the ration for the Na K pump |
3:2 3potassium for every 2 sodium |
|
what is vesticular transport |
transport of arge particles macromolecules, and fluids across the membrane in membraneous sacs call vesicles (bubble) |
|
what is the functions of vesticular transport |
exocytosis, endocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis, transcytosis, vesticular trafficking |
|
phagocytosis |
eating of self |
|
pinocytosis |
