cells Flashcards
what’s the difference between ICF (intracellular fluid vs ECF (extracellular fluid
ICF - inside of cells ( make up majority water of the body , contain protein and potassium
ECF - outside of cells ( blood plasma , tissue fluid )
cytoplasm consists of
ICF fluid
and cytos and organelles
cytoskeleton
mimic ligands action by stimulating receptors
agonist
inhibit ligands action by blocking receptor
antagonist
basic force that drive many type of passive transport
basically is where more something in one place less in another
Substance naturally moved from the area with more to the area with less
concentration gradient
mostly nonpolar solutes like oxygen , carbon and lipids and hydrocarbons
simple diffusion
involved charge or polar solutes such as ions sand glucose
facilitated diffusion
movement of solutes against their concentration gradient using ATP
primary active transport
uses energy from primary active support to move another substance against gradient
Secondary active support
Way to compare osmotic pressure gradient between two solutions cytosol and ECF
tonicity
normally ECF IS
isonic to cytosol
