Q

Channel mediated passive transport

A

Facilitated diffusion
Protein tunnels allow substances to pass through
‘Gated’ channels open & close
Semi permeable

Q

Carrier mediated transport

A

Passive
HC -> LC

Q

Osmosis

A

Form of diffusion
Movement of water across semipermeable membrane
HC -> LC
Keeps osmotic pressure in cells constant

16
Q

Dynamic equilibrium

A

During homeostasis, diffusion does not stop

17
Q

Osmotic pressure

A

Pressure prevents movement of water

18
Q

Filtration

A

Movement of solutes down a concentration gradient by hydrostatic pressure (H -> L)

19
Q

Active transport

A

Requires energy
LC -> HC

20
Q

Types of active transport

A

Pumps
Endocytosis
Exocytosis
LC -> HC

21
Q

Pumps

A

Maintain concentration of ions needed for a specific process
ATP
HC -> LC
Against concentration gradient
General cell function, muscle contraction, nerve conduction

22
Q

Endocytosis

A

Brings material INTO cell
Active transport
LC -> HC

23
Q

Phagocytosis

A

Breaks down bacteria, foreign substances.
Lysosomes would destroy foreign substance.

24
Q

Exocytosis

A

Active transport
LC -> HC
Moves substances OUT of the cell via vesicle
Moves proteins

25
Q

Pinocytosis

A

Fluids ingested by cell
Form of Endocytosis

26
Q

Mitosis

A

Cells divide into two cells
Complete DNA in each new cell
46 chromosomes

27
Q

Meiosis

A

Sex cells
46 chromosomes split into 23

28
Q

Disorders at cellular level

A

Cancer - abnormal cell overproduction
Infections - steals cell protein, produce toxins, damage cells/ interrupt function
Viral - causes disease by taking over DNA/RNA/proteins

29
Q

Endoplasmic Reticulum

A

RER= protein synthesis and transport

SER = lipid and steroid synthesis
