cell membrane part2 Flashcards
2 types of membrane transport:
passive transport
active transport
how require energy (passive/active transport)?
active transport
the concentration in active transport and passive transport
active : low to high
passive: high to low
types of passive transport
facilitated diffusion
simple diffusion
osmosis diffusion
what is diffusion?
The process of random movement toward equilibrium.
Diffusion is the net movement from regions of greater to lesser concentration.
What is Equilibrium?
equal concentration on both side of the membrane
diffusion rate(faster/slower) depends on what?
temperature - surface area - concentration gradient - size of particles - diffusion medium(solid/ liquid/gas)
simple diffusion
- small molecules pass through the lipid bilayer
- water and lipid-soluble molecules can diffuse across the membrane.
- electrically charged and polar molecules can not pass through easily.
facilitated diffusion
-move big polar molecules through protien
types of facilitated diffusion and what are they?
- carrier protein(integral membrane proteins): have a central pore
- Channel protein: membrane proteins that bind some substances and speed their diffusion through the bilayer
- ion channel:
Osmosis diffusion
the diffusion of water across a permeable membrane
Osmosis Can Modify the Shapes of Cells (isotonic/ hypertonic/ hypotonic)
- isotonic: remain the same size
- hypertonic: more solute(NaCl outside the cell), water move from inside to out side the cell making it shrimp/shrink
- hypotonic: less solute(NaCl inside the cell), water move outside to the cell making it burst/ bigger.
facilitated diffusion
-move big polar molecules through protien
types of facilitated diffusionand what are they??
- carrier protein(integral membrane proteins): have a central pore
- Channel protein: membrane proteins that bind some substances and speed their diffusion through the bilayer
- ion channel: specific channel proteins with hydrophilic pores; allow the transport of ions such as k+ . most are gated—can be closed or open to ion passage.
Active transport is directional (moves substances either in or out). It involves three kinds of proteins:
- Uniporter- moves a single substance in one direction
- Symporter- moves two substances in the same direction
- Antiporters- moves two substances in opposite direction
e. g. a sodium/potassium pump, moves Na+ out and K+ in
