Body fluids Flashcards
Where does the fluid go when animals are delivered intracellular fluids
When fluid is delivered to the bone
Biological membranes acts as
Permeability barriers
What is diffusion
When a molecule moves down an electrochemical gradient
Why are protein pores used
If molecules are too big to pass through bilayer
What is facilitated diffusion
Conformational change of the protein which causes transport in and out of the cell
Does active transport use ATP
Yes
In primary active transport where does the protein sit
Cell membrane
Primary active transport takes ATP and
Splits it into ADP
What is the feature of active transport that makes it primary
Binding of solute and break down of ATP happens simultaneously
What type of transport is cotransport system
Secondary active transport
Why is active transport secondary
Protein which is moving the molecule is not the protein which splits ATP
Stored chemical energy is used
Active transport creates a difference in
Charge
Solutes move between fluid compartments through
Diffusion
Active transport
Exo/endocytosis
Bulk flow
Rate of diffusion is defined by what law
Ficks law
What is the equation for Ficks law
Ds
Dt. =. DS
Does bulk flow need ATP
No it is a passive process
What is bulk flow
Move molecules driven by pressure gradient for water
What is the process of exo and endocytosis
When molecules are moved in and out of the cell through membrane bound vesicles
