Ch 6-8 (43 cards)
Plasma membrane permeability
NO: proteins, nucleic acids
YES: ions, nutrients, and wastes
Carrier mediated transport
Facilitated diffusion and Active transport
Non-carried mediated transport
Simple diffusion
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
diffusion increases entropy
Rate of Diffusion depends on (4)
Magnitude of concentration difference – the driving force for diffusion.
Permeability of the membrane to the molecules.
Temperature of the solution; higher temperature increases the rate.
Surface area of the membrane; increased by microvilli.
Solutes that cannot cross a membrane and allow osmosis
Osmotically active
Force surrounding a cell required to stop osmosis
Osmotic pressure. Larger pressure for larger solute concentration.
Molarity
Moles solute/Liter solution
Molality
Moles solute/Liter solvent
Osmolality
Total molality of a solution when you combine all of the molecules within it. Different if particles dissociate in solution.
Tonicity
The effect of a solute concentration on the osmosis of water
When the water is drawn out of a cell it becomes
crenated
GLUT1
CNS
GLUT2
pancreatic beta cells and hepatocytes
GLUT3
neurons
GLUT4
adipose tissue & skeletal muscles
Ca2+ pump
active transport of Ca2 out of cells into cytoplasm and creates strong gradient for rapid into cytoplasm and causes neurotransmitters and muscle contraction
Na+/K+ pump
ATPase pumps out 3Na out and 2K in.
Energy for other coupled reactions.
Helps membrane potentials.
Maintains osmolality.
Absorption
transport of digestive products across epithelium into the blood
Reabsorption
transport of molecules out of the urinary filtrate back into the blood
K+ is more highly concentrated __ the cell
inside/within
Central nervous system is
Brain and spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous system is
cranial and spinal nerves
Multipolar neuron located entirely within the CNS
interneuron
