26
Q

Voltage-gated channels

A

open in response to membrane potential (passing of Na+ and K+)

27
Q

Ligand-gated channels

A

open and close in response to chemical stimuli (neurotransmitters, hormones, or other ions)

28
Q

Why is facilitated diffusion needed within passive transport?

A

solute is too polar

29
Q

what are the general steps of facilitated diffusion?

A
  1. solute binds to the specific transporter protein
  2. transporter makes a CONFORMATIONAL CHANGE
  3. the solute moves across the membrane and is released on the other side of the membrane
30
Q

what solutes move via facilitated diffusion?

A
  • glucose
  • urea
  • fructose
  • galactose
  • vitamins
31
Q

Osmosis

A

net movement of SOLVENT through a selectively permeable membrane

32
Q

Hydrostatic Pressure

A

pressure that the water column exerts

33
Q

what does hydrostatic pressure prevent

A

prevents water from diffusing through the membrane

34
Q

osmotic pressure

A

applied pressure by the solvent or another force when they are not permeable to the membrane

35
Q

Tonicity

A

how the osmolarity of an outside solution effects the cell volume

36
Q

HYPERtonic

A

tonicity of solution > tonicity of cell

37
Q

what happens to a cell when in a HYPERtonic solution

A

CRENATION: the cell shrinks

38
Q

HYPOtonic

A

tonicity of solution < tonicity of cell

39
Q

what happens when a cell is in a HYPOtonic solution

A

HEMOLYSIS: the cells wells and burst

40
Q

ISOtonic

A

tonicity of solution = tonicity of cell

41
Q

what happens when a cell is placed in an ISOtonic solution?

A

stays the same

42
Q

what mechanism is used in Primary Active Transport

A

Sodium Potassium Pump (Na/K Pump)

43
Q

Where does primary active transport get its energy to make the pump work?

A

energy comes from ATP, and it changed the shape of the transporter protein that pumps a substance across the membrane

44
Q

What does the sodium-potassium pump strive to maintain in primary active transport

A

LOW Na+ and HIGH K+ in cytosol (inside the cell)

45
Q

secondary active transport

A

energy stored in the Na+ or H+ concentration gradient used to drive other substances against their gradient = ION GRADIENTS

46
Q

SYMporter

A

aka cotransporters; move substrates in the same direction

47
Q

ANTIporters

A

aka exchangers; move substrates in the opposite direction

48
Q

what ion begin the process of secondary transport

A

SODIUM ION

49
Q

Transport Vesicles

A

a sac; site of budding

50
Q

what are the 2 ways in which vesicles perform

A

Endocytosis and Exocytosis

51
Q

ENDOcytosis

A

bring INTO the cell

52
Q

what are the two types if endocytosis

A

phagocytosis and pinocytosis

53
Q

phagocytosis

A

cell eating

54
Q

what performs phagocytosis

A

WBCs and macrophages

55
Q

Pinocytosis

A

cell drinking

56
Q

Exocytosis

A

release something from the cell

57
Q

where do these vesicles used form for exocytosis

A

inside the cell, and they fuse to the cell membrane to release contents

58
Q

what kinds of things perform exocytosis

A

digestive enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters and waste products

59
Q

diffusion

A

passing from one side of the membrane to another

60
Q

do we need ATP for ion channels

A

NO ATP NEEDED

61
Q

What is the gradient of Na and K in primary active transport?

A

LOW TO HIGH/ AGAINST/ UPHILL/ UP

62
Q

what is the main role of the sodium-potassium pump

A

to maintain gradient equilibrium

63
Q

in secondary active transport, what is the gradient

A

sodium is going with while potassium eventually goes against using the energy from the start

64
Q

Example of pinocytosis

A
