25
Simple Diffusion
-Molescules diffuse directly through phospholipid bilayer -Molecules must be small, non-polar, and lipid soluble (O2, CO2, Ureae, Alcohol) -Requires concentration gradient
26
Facilitated Diffusion Channel Mediated
-Molecules diffuse directly through channels down concentration down concentration gradient -Usually small polar charged molecules (Na+, K+)
27
Facilitated Diffusion Carrier Mediated
-Carriers have high specificity (Glucose, amino acids) -Carriers can become saturated (Tm) -Tm= transport max -Maximum level of saturation for a carrier protein
28
Osmosis
-Diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane -Uses aquaporins -Travels down a concentration gradient
29
Isotonic solutions
-Usuallu 0.9% NaCl -5% Glucose
30
Hypotonic solutions
-Less than 0.9% NaCl -Less than 5% Glucose
31
Hypertonic solutions
-Greater than 0.9% NaCl -Greater than 5% Glucose
32
Osmotic Pressure
-Pressure that develops as a result of osmosis
33
Filtration
-Moving down a pressure gradient
34
Hydrostatic Pressure
-Pressure exerted by water against the plasma membrane
35
Plasma Membrane Potential
-Voltage resulting from separation of oppositely charged particles Regulated by -Na+K+ pump -Leaky K+ channels -Membrane Potential is usually -70 to -90 mV
36
Endocytosis
-Uptake of large particles or numerous particles into cells through vesicles -Form of Active Transport
37
Phagocytosis
-"Cell-Eating" -Engulfment of bacteria or other particles by psuedopod extension -Particle enclosed in phagosome (later combines with lysosome) -Macrophages
38
Pintocytosis
-"Cell-Drinking" -Engulfment of extracellular fluid and dissolved molecules (nutrients) -Intestinal cells

49
Endoplasmic Reticulum
-Network of interconnected membranes, continuous with nuclear membrane
50
Rough ER
-Ribosomes attached -Ribosomes synthesize membrane proteins or proteins that are exported
51
Smooth ER
-No ribosomes, so no role in protein synthesis -Contains enzymes which play a role in lipid synthesis, steroid hormone synthesis -Detoxify drugs -Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR) (in muscle) regulate calcium needed for muscle contraction
52
Golgi Apparatus
-Modifies, sorts and packages proteins made in the ER Example: -Carbohydrate or phosphate attachment
53

-Spherical organelles containing digestive enzymes (hydrolases) -Macrophage lysosomes digest particles (bacteria) taken in by endocytosis -Digest non-functional organelles -Digest non-functional tissue (webbing in feet-hands in fetal development)
54
Peroxisomes
-Spherical organelles containing enzymes -Enzymes detoxify harmful substances (alcohol, fermeldahyde) -Neutralizes free radicals such as superoxide (O2-) a byproduct of cellular respiration
55
Cytoskeleton
-The cell's skeleton Made of: -Microfilaments -Intermediate filaments -Microtubules
56
Microfilaments
-Cell shape -Cell contraction -Reinforce the plasma membrane -Cytokinesis
57
Intermediate filaments
-Help cells resist tension (stretching)
58
Microtubules (MTs)
-Position and suspend organelles
59
Centrioles
-Centrioles are paired hollow tubes that anchor and organize MTs -Centrioles generate the mitotic spindle -Direct cilia and flagella formation
60
Nucleus
-Control center of the cell -Most cells have one nucleus Exceptions: -Skeletal muscle (multinucleate) -Red blood cells (anucleate)
61
Nuclear Envelope
-Double membrane -Continuous with ER
62
Nucleolus
-Make ribosomes
63
