Q

Active Transport

A

Endocytosis(pinocytosis - liquids. And phagocytosis - solids) - vesicle is formed. Fold of cell membrane around the substance which breaks off and passes through the membrane.

Ion pumps

Exocytosis getting rid of wastes

Q

Factors that effect speed of cell transport

A
Temperature
Concentration gradient
Type of chemical (polar or non polar)
Size of molecule
Alcohol - increases permeability
Thickness of membrane

Q

Types of Proteins found on cell membrane

A

Glycoproteins-recognises other cells to form groups

Peripheral - sits inside or outside of membrane not inside

Receptor - recognises hormones

Integral - passes through whole membrane

Non-integral only passes through half

Q

Cell Respiration

A

Anaerobic - Glycolysis - cytoplasm
6 carbon chain broken into two halfs or pyruvate molecules. Produces 2 ATP

Aerobic(uses oxygen in mitochondria)
Krebs Cycle - complex series of catabolic reactions that produces an ATP per pyruvate plus CO2

Electron Transfer Chain - 36 ATP and H20

Overall Reaction
Glucose + Oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + energy
