Plasma membrane is
selectively permeable
Proteins in plasma membrane:
Ion channels
transporters
pumps
Movement with concentration gradient =
passive diffusion
movement against concentration gradient =
active transport
Facilitated diffusion has to what?
Bind to a receptor
Active transport uses what?
energry
Random movement powered by concentration gradient
diffusion
Diffusion is moving toward
equilibrium
Diffusion of 1 substances does not interfere with what?
diffusion of another substance in the same solution
Net movement of diffusion depends on what?
1) concentration gradient
2) particle size
3) permeability of the compound in the barrier it is trying to cross
The two types of diffusion are?
- simple/passive
2. facilitated
Simple/passive diffusion requires a carrier protein. (T/F)
False (no carrier protein interaction)
Facilitated diffusion requires what?
A carrier protein
What type of diffusion can use pores or channels?
Simple/passive diffusion
This type of diffusion binding occurs.
Facilitated Diffusion
Diffusion of lipid-soluble molecules through a lipid bilayer depends on?
lipid solubility
What molecules are highly lipid soluble & able to diffuse through lipid bilayer?
O2, N2, CO2, alcohols
Rate of diffusion is dependent on what?
The degree of lipid solubility
Pore channels are available for what?
small molecules to pass through
_____ ______ and _____ ______ on amino acids determines selectivity of passage.
Pore diameter & electrical charges
Two types of gating of protein channels?
Voltage gating and chemical gating
Sodium channels & potassium channels open when?
&
This is an example of what type of gating?
Inside cell membrane becomes positively charged
Voltage gating
With chemical gating what may open or close the gate?
Binding a molecule
Also known as carrier-mediated diffusion
facilitated diffusion
