Q

What is receptor mediated endocytosis?

A

When the receptor proteins grab certain molecules and enter the cell

20
Q

What is exocytosis?

A

When molecules exit the cell

21
Q

What is cytosis?

A

When a large amount of particles move across the membrane - in or out

22
Q

What gradient is diffusion?

A

High to low

23
Q

Does diffusion require energy?

24
Q

When does diffusion stop?

A

When it reaches an equilibrium - the same amount on both sides

25
What factors affect the rate of diffusion?
The concentration The distance The surface area (large is good because of more room to go across) The physical barriers in the way
26
What is facilitated diffusion?
When a substance is aided across the membrane by Ionophores
27
What ratio for SA to V is good for diffusion?
Big surface area : Small volume
28
VOLUME INCREASES FASTER THEN THE SURFACE AREA
YOU UNDERSTAND!!?!????!
29
What is Osmosis?
When water diffuses in or out of a cell
30
What is a HypERtonic solution?
When the water goes out, shrivelling up the cell.
31
What is an Isotonic solution?
Where the water stays the same in and out of the cell
32
What is a HyPOtonic solution?
When the water goes in, making the cell bulge (po the panda is fat)
33
Where is the Mitochondria located in the cell?
In the cytoplasm
34
What does the Mitochondria do?
Produces ATP energy
35
What is a Catalyst?
A substance that speeds up the rate of a reaction
36
What are enzymes?
A biological Catalyst that speeds up reactions. They are proteins!
37
What is the name for where the reaction occurs in the enzyme?
The active site
38
What enters the active site?
Substrate molecules
39
Can enzymes be re-used?
Yes
40
What is the lock and key hypothesis?
When the substrate fits perfectly into the molecule
41
What is the optimal temperature for enzymes?
Around 40 degrees
42
What happens after 40 degrees with the enzyme?
It starts to denature so the substrate cannot fit inside it
43
DIFFERENT ENZYMES HAVE DIFFERENT pH RANGES
GOT IT?? The enzyme has an optimal pH range
44
What do all enzymes end in (their word)
-ASEAN
45
What is the induced fit model?
When the active site changes shape induced by the substrate
46
How do you stop a enzyme reaction?
Environment - pH, Temp. and concentration Cofactors - block the active site with a blocker Inhibitors - don't touch the active site but still block it
47
How do you speed up the enzyme reactions?
- the concentration - optimal conditions - saturation All have a cap and plateau after the cap
