25
how do carbon dioxide and oxygen cross cell membrane
diffusion, moving from area of high concentration to low concentration
26
how does K+ move across cell membrane
sodium-pump
27
how does amino acids and starch cross cell membrane
facilitated diffusion and carrier and channel proteins
28
active transport
moves substances against their concentration gradient requires energy (ATP) performed by specific proteins embedded in membranes allows cells to maintain concentration gradients that differ from their surroundings
29
sodium-potassium pump
type of active transport system major electrogenic pump of animal cells PROCESS 1) cytoplasmic Na+ binds to sodium potassium pump 2) Na+ binding stimulates phosphorylation by ATP 3) phosphorylation causes protein to change its shape expelling Na+ to the outside 4) K+ binds on extracellular side and triggers release of phosphate group 5) loss of phosphate group restores protein's original shape 6) K+ is released and cycle starts over
30
passive transport
diffusion of a substance across a biological membrane with no energy required from the cell to make it happen
31
diffusion
net movement of molecules from a higher area of concentration to an area of lower concentration (even spreading of molecules)
32
facilitated diffusion
transport proteins speed the passive movement of molecules across plasma membrane
33
osmosis
diffusion of water across selectively permeable membrane
34
pinocytosis
active transport, type of endocytosis, molecules are taken up when extracellular fluid is "gulped" into tiny vesicles (cellular drinking)
35
phagocytosis
active transport, type of endocytosis, cell engulfs a particle in a vacuole (cellular eating), vacuole fuses with lysosome to digest particle
36
3 types of endocytosis
pinocytosis, phagocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis
37
endocytosis
active transport cell takes in macromolecules by forming vesicles from plasma membrane, reversal of exocytosis
38
exocytosis
active transport transport vesicles migrate to the membrane, fuse with it, and release their contents, used by secretory cells to export their products
39
isotonic
solute concentration is the same as that inside the cell; no net water movement across cell membrane
40
hypotonic solution
solute concentration is less than that inside the cell; cell gains water
41
hypertonic solution
solute concentration is greater than that inside the cell; cell loses water
42
osmoregulation
the control of water balance, is a necessary adaptation for life in such environments
43
amphipathic
molecule that contains both hydrophobic (nonpolar) and hydrophilic (polar) parts
44
receptor- mediated endocytosis
binding of ligands to receptors triggers vesicle formation
45
ligand
any molecule that binds specifically to a receptor site of another molecule
46
how does bulk transport occur
endocytosis and exocytosis
47
cotransport
occurs when active transport of a solute indirectly drives transport of another solute
48
electrogenic pump
a transport protein that generates voltage across a membrane
49
proton pump
main electrogenic pump of plants, bacteria, and fungi
50
electrochemical gradient
two combined forces drive diffusion of ions across membranes chemical and electrical force
51
chemical force
the ion's concentration gradient
52
electrical force
the effect of the membrane potential on the ion's movement
53
membrane potential
voltage difference across a membrane
54
why is facilitated diffusion passive
the solute moves down the concentration gradient
55
ion channel
channel protein that open or close in response to a stimulus (gated channel)
56
plasmolysis
in hypertonic environment plant cells lose water, membrane pulls away from wall, death to plant
57
what do cell walls help to maintain
water balance
58
turgid
plant cell in hypotonic solution (ideal) swells until the wall opposes uptake, causes cell to become firm
59
flaccid
plant cell and surroundings in isotonic solution with no net movement of water into cell, plant becomes limp and may wilt
60
what problems do hypertonic and hypotonic solutions create
osmotic
61
tonicity
the ability of a solution to cause a cell to lose or gain water
62
dynamic equilibrium
as many molecules cross one way as cross in the other direction
