21
Q

microvilli

A

inc cells SA (more area for absorption)

22
Q

cilia (motile)

A
function in waves 
move mucus, egg cell or fluid
23
Q

psedudopods

A

cytoplasm filled extension of cell

look like little amputated arm

24
Q

membrane transports favors ?? polarity

A

hydrophobic -

non-polar

25
Q

filtration

A

phys. pressure forces fluid through SPM

26
Q

Diffusion

A

diffuse solutes down con. gradient
forms free energy
rate can be affected

27
Q

osmosis

A

net flow of h20 one side of SPM to the o/
maintains body’s water distribution
flows from less solute con. to higher solute con.

28
Q

aquarporins

A

channel that h2o flows through

29
Q

osmotic pressure

A

need for h20

more non-perm. solute inc pressure

30
Q

reverse osmosis

A

h2o against con. gradient w/ mechanical force

31
Q

osmolarity

A

osmotic concentration of body fluids

32
Q

tonicity

A

solute can affect vol. and pressure inside of cell

if sol. unevenly distributed

33
Q

carrier-mediated transport

A

need mem! + ATP
protein changes shape to carry mol. across mem.
have specificity
contain saturation to a point

34
Q

saturation point for carrier-mediated transport

A

transport maximum

35
Q

Types of carriers

A

uniport
contransport
countertransport

36
Q

uniport

A

carries 1 type of solute

37
Q

contransport

A

2+ types of solute in same direction

38
Q

countertransport

A

2+ types of solute in different directions

39
Q

moves 2+ solute in same direction

A

symport

40
Q

moves 2+ solute in opposite direction

A

antiport

41
Q

CMT- Facilitated diffusion

A

solute through mem. down con. gradient

no ATP

42
Q

CMT- Primary active transport

A

Need ATP

substance through mem. up con. gradient

43
Q

Na-K Pump

A

3 Na out of cell

2 K in cell

44
Q

secondary active transport

A

mvmnt of ions up and down con. grad.
one structure powers another
Ex. Na-K to Glucose

45
Q

Vesicular Transport

A

move lrg particles through mem

h2o and fluid

46
Q

Vesic. T- endocytosis

A

mol. in cell

consumed, broken down and deposited

47
Q

Vesic. T- exocytosis

A

mol. out of cell

48
Q

endocytosis types

A

phagocytosis
pinocytosis
receptor-mediated

49
Q

phagocytosis

A

consumes bac, dirt and cell decay

50
Q

A

takes in ECF for cell

51
Q

receptor-mediated

A

extracts mol. from ECF

selective

52
Q
