23
Q

enumerate the components of the cell

A
  1. water: 70% - 85%
  2. proteins
  3. ions
  4. lipids
  5. carbohydrates
24
Q

40% ____

A

intercellular fluid

25
20% ____
extracellular fluid
26
5% ____
plasma
27
15% _____
Intercellular fluid ; interstitial fluid ; transcellular fluid
28
charged particles in the cell
ions
29
cat ions are
positively charged ions
30
anions are
negatively charged ions
31
Primary cation inside the cell
Potassium (K)
32
Primary anion outside the cell
Chloride (Cl)
33
Primary anion inside the cell
Organic Anion
34
Primary cation outside cell
Sodium (Na)
35
secondary anion inside the cell
SO4 , PO4
36
two kinds of transport mechanism
1. Passive/Diffusion - requires no ATP 2. Active - requires ATP
37
differentiate simple diffusion from facilitated diffusion
simple diffusion does not require the use of carrier protein while facilitated diffusion does
38
true of false the greater the difference in concentration between two areas, the faster diffusion occurs
true
39
the process by which molecules (and ions) move away from areas where they are more concentrated (more numerous) to areas where they are less concentrated (with fewer of them)
Diffusion
40
diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane such as plasma membrane is specifically called ; H2O concentration
osmosis
41
types of concentration/solution in osmosis. explain.
1. Isotonic: 0.9 NaCl; ideal solution of the blood ; equal amount of solvent and solute inside and outside of the cell 2. Hypotonic: there’s more h2O outside the cell ; lower concentration of solute 3. Hypertonic: more solute (Na) outside the cell ; higher concentration; more
42
when a cell uses ATP to move substances across the membrane, the process is
Active Process/Transport
43
Transport “against” or “uphill”
active transport
44
three kinds of transport proteins
1. Uniport: only one substance can be transported 2. Symport: two substances toward same direction can be transported 3. Antiport: two substances goes to different direction
45
Resting membrane potential of a cell
-90mV
46
what is an action potential
when a stimulus travelled inside the cell
47
super-maximal impulse action potential
All or None Law
48
explain action potential
1. Depolarization 2. Repolarization 3. Hyperpolarization
49
threshold level where depolarization starts
-65mV
50
what do we call the period where the cell can no longer be stimulated
Refractory Period
51
two kinds of refractory period. differentiate.
1. Absolute. no action potential is fired at all 2. Relative. action potential is still possible, but must be very strong
