16
Q

Weak acids are absorbed from an acidic environment and will become sequestered in a more…

A

alkaline ( higher pH) environment

17
Q

weak bases are absorbed from an alkaline environment and will become sequestered in a more…

A

acid (lower pH) environment

18
Q

Facilitated diffusion is..

A

Carrier mediated, saturable, moves with concentration gradient, and does not require energy.

19
Q

Active transport is…

A

Carrier mediated, saturable, selective, and moves substances against the concentration, gradient and requires energy

20
Q

Energy for active transport can be supplied…

A

directly though ATP (primary) or indirectly after ATP is used to create an electrochemical gradient (secondary)

21
Q

what is the term when transporters move two substances together

A

symporter

22
Q

what is the term where on substance is exchanged for another

A

antiporter

23
Q

What is the P-glycoprotein system?

A

specific form of active transport in which the transporter is an efflux pump, this protein is an expression of the MDR-1 gene

24
Q

What does the MDR-1 do?

A

removes drugs after being absorbed into specific cells or tissue sites

25
Q

what is Pinocytosis?

A

a specific type of endocytosis, drugs bind to the surface of the cell then the cell membranes invaginates and interoizes the drug.
