6
Q

diffusion across lipid layer

A

water-soluble substances (ions, amino acis, sugar, water)

small ions and water-> channels
sugar and amino acids -> facilitated diffusion

Q

gated diffusion

A

some proteins are ion channels
electrochemical gradient driving force
ion channels are continuously open while some are open transiently
much faster than facilitated diffusion

Q

active transport

A

requires energy-moving solutes against a concentration gradient

primary = energy directly from ATP
secondary = energy delivered indirectly from ATP

Q

primary active transport

A

sodium and potassium pump

inside the cell there’s a low conc of Na+ ions and outside too much K+ ions

the pump then puts 3 Na+ from outside to inside and 2 K+ from inside to outside

Q

exocytosis

A

movement of large molecules outside the cell (secretory cells)

  1. secretory vesicle moved down towards the plasma membrane
  2. secretory vesicle fuses with plasma membrane
  3. secretory vesicle content is released into the extracellular fluid

Q

endocytosis

A

moving larger molecules and particles into the cell

  1. receptor molecules on cell surface bind to molecules to be taken into the cell
  2. receptors and the bound molecules taken into cell forming vesicle
  3. vesicle fuses and separates from plasma membrane

16
Q

osmosis

A

movement of water molecules from a low solute concentration to a high solute concentration
across semi permeable membrane
water moves to solution with highest osmotic pressure

17
Q

tonicity

A

solution’s ability to change the volume of cells by altering water content

18
Q

isotonic solution

A

no net movement, cell miantain shape

19
Q

hypotonic solution

A

cells gain water
swelling or bursting

20
Q

hypertonic solution

A

cells loose water
becoming dehydrated and shrink

21
Q

metabolism

A

all chemical reactions in body

22
Q

catabolism

A

chemical reactions break complex organic molecules

23
Q

anabolism

A

chemical reactions build up simple molecules in complex molecules

24
Q

atp uses

A

muscle contraction, active transport, movement of structure within cell

25
Q

energy generation

A
  1. large molecules broken down into smaller units
    proteins -> peptides and amino acids
    fats -> glyceral and fatty acids
  2. smaller units degerated to a few simple key coumpinfs playing central role in metabolism
  3. krebs cyrcle or oxidative phosphorylation
26
Q

glucose catabolised in 3 ways

A

krebs cycle
glycolysis
electron trasnport support chain
oxidative phosphorylation

27
Q

cellular respiration the two types

A

anaerobic
-> atp production without o2
glycolysis

aerobic
-> atp production with O2
oxidative phosphorylation

28
Q

4 steps

A
  1. glycolysis
  2. formation of acetly CoA
  3. Krebs cycle
  4. electron transport chain
29
Q

glycolysis final product

A

2 pyruvic acid molecules
2NADH + H+ moleculesa
2 ATP molecules

If o2 avaliable: pyvloric acid prepares for krebs cycle in mitocondira

if no o2 PA accepts H2 from NADH2 forming lactic acid, diffusion out of the cell into bloodstream then liver cells remove lactic acid from the blood changing back to pyruvic acid

30
Q

krebs cycle

A

pyloric acid enter mitochondria and undergoes decarboxylation removing CO2
2 acetyl group attach to coenzyme A
occurring in matrix of mitocondria
H+ -> sent to electron transport chain
NADH2 and FADH2 -> converted into energy

31
Q

reaction occurring in matric of mitocondira

A

acetyl CoA eneter cycel combining with 4C to form citric acid

formation of citric acid

32
Q

sum of krebs cycle

A

aceytl coA molecule enter krebs cycle forming
2 CO2
1 ATP
3 NADH2
1 FADH2

1 glucose 2 acetly coA molecules

33
Q

electron transport chain

A

integral membrane proteins form a chain, located in the inner mitochondrial membrane

cytochrome picks up 1 electron passing onto next chain
small amounts of energy release in form at ATP
