Ch 3, 3.3 Flashcards
Selectively permeable membrane
Plasma membrane will allow some things in and not other things
Permeable molecules
1.Small, nonpolar molecules:
02, CO2, N2
2. Small, uncharged polar molecules (semi permeable):
Glucose IS permeable, Sucrose is NOT
Non-permeable molecules
- Ions:
Cl- K+ Na+ - Large Polar molecules (semi permeable):
Glucose IS permeable, Sucrose is NOT
Passive transport
No energy required; move down their gradient
Active transport
ATP are required; move up the gradient
Types of passive transport
- Simple diffusion
- Filtration
- Osmosis
- Facilitated diffusion*
- Carrier-mediated transport
Types of active transport
- Primary active transport*
- Secondary active transport*
- Vesicular transport
- Carrier-mediated transport
Simple diffusion
Molecules that can pass through the selectively permeable membrane
High—> Low Concentration
Diffusion rates
The rate at which molecules go across the membrane
5 Factors that affect diffusion rates
1. Temperature (kinetic energy): >temp= >rate
2. Molecular weight: > weight=
3. Difference in concentrations: >dif=>rate
4. Membrane surface area: >SA=>rate
5. Membrane permeability: >permeable= >rate
Osmosis
Passive transport; net flow of water:
>H2O—>to lower H2O
Osmosis is dependent on what?
Number of solute dissolved in water; more solute equals lower water concentration
Aquaporins
Water channels on plasma membrane
Hydrostatic pressure
Pressure exerted from a fluid on a membrane
Osmotic pressure
-Hydrostatic pressure required to stop osmosis from happening;
-Regulates movement of fluid across membrane
What is reverse osmosis used in ?
Water purification
Osmolarity is measured in what
mOsm/L
Mili osmols per liter
Osmolarity concentration
How many solutes are dissolved per liter of water; higher Molarity= more solids dissolved
Hyperosmotic side of membrane
> solute Concentration
< water concentration
Hypoosmotic side of membrane
Greater water concentration, less solute concentration
Water movement in osmosis:
hyperosmotic side—> hypoosmotic side.;
Low H20 to High H20
Tonicity
Ability of a solution to effect fluid volume and pressure within a cell
Hypertonic : what is it and what does it do to a cell?
> solute concentration outside than inside cell; < water concentration.
Cell shrinks/shrivels
