What are the 2 kinds of transport
passive
active
(passive/active) transport requires energy
active
in passive transport, molecules move (along/against) the concentration gradient
along
in active transport, molecules move (along/against) the concentration gradient
against
what is the concentration gradient
higher concentration moves to lower concentrated area
what are the 3 kinds of passive transport
simple diffusion
facilitated diffusion
osmosis
what is simple diffusion
high to low concentration directly through cell membrane
what is facilitated diffusion
high to low concentration through integral proteins
what is osmosis
diffusion of water from high to low concentration
what is bulk transport
moves larger molecules across cell membrane
what are the 2 kinds of bulk transport
exocytosis
endocytosis
what is exocytosis
cell expels larger molecules
what is endocytosis
cell takes in larger molecules
what are the 3 types of endocytosis
pinocytosis
phagocytosis
receptor-mediated endocytosis
what is pinocytosis + other name for it
cell drinking
cell membrane folds in to let fluid into cell
what is phagocytosis + other name for it
cell eating
cell membrane folds in to let larger molecules into cell (nonspecific)
what is receptor-mediated endocytosis
molecule binds to receptor on cell membrane which then folds in to let it in (specific)
what is the function of serous membranes
secrete serous fluid into space
what are the 3 layers of the serous membrane (superficial to deep)
parietal layer
serous fluid
visceral layer
what are the 3 factors that affect permeability of cell membrane
- number of transport proteins in cell membrane
- molecular size
- lipid solubility
what are the ideal traits of a molecule wanting to get through the cell membrane
small and hydrophobic
what are the two major body cavities
dorsal
ventral
what are the two cavities included in the dorsal cavity
cranial
vertebral
what does the cranial cavity contain
brain
