Ch. 6 Cellular Transport & Resperation Flashcards
Passive Transport
Does not use energy
- Molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
- Molecules move with the concentration gradient
Active Transport
Uses energy
-Molecules often move against the concentration gradient
Diffusion
- Molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (down a concentration gradient)
- In cells this takes place across selectively permeable membranes
- ex. gas exchange in lungs (O2 and CO2)
Main Types of passive transport
- Diffusion
- Osmosis
Osmosis
-The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
(water concentration is determined by the amount of solutes)
-Isotonic
-Hypertonic
-Hypotonic
Isotonic
- Same osmotic pressure as inside the cell
- The solution is in equilibrium in regards to the cell
- Type of Osmosis
Hypertonic Solution
- Type of Osmotic solution
- The solution has less osmotic pressure than inside the cell
- Solution has more solutes than the cell
- Water moves out of the cell by osmosis
Hypotonic solution
Type of Osmotic solution
- the solution has more osmotic pressure than inside the cell
- Solution has less solutes than the cell
- water moves into the cell by osmosis
- Animal cells will burst
Types of Active Transport
- Pumps
2. Vesicles
Pumps
Active transport
- Use ATP
- Move molecules against the concentration gradient
Vesicles
type of active transport
- endocytosis
- Exocytosis
Endocytosis
- Cell engulfs particles with a piece of the plasma membrane
- ex. White blood cells
Exocytosis
- Cell secrete or excrete particles by the bursting of a vesicle
- ex. hormones
5 Types of Proteins in the plasma membrane
- Channel
- Enzymatic
- Receptor
- Maker
- Anchor
Channel Proteins f
Found in Plasma Membrane
-transport
Enzymatic Proteins
Found in the plasma membrane
- metabolism
- Have the active sites that break down compounds
Receptor Proteins
Found in the plasma membrane
-communication
Marker Proteins
Found in the plasma membrane
- identification
- identify other cells in the body and determine if they belong
- ex. blood type
Anchor Proteins
found in the plasma membrane
- tissue integrity
- holds the cells together
Producers
Autotrophic
-Create organic molecules from inorganic molecules using photosynthesis
Consumers
Heterotrophic
-Must get certain organic molecules from the consumption of other living organisms
