35
Q

diffusion vs osmosis movement

A

diffusion: substances move across membrane from HIGH to LOW concentration
-small non charged particles can diffuse thru plasma membrane between phospholipid bilayer
-larger molecules and polar molecules need channel proteins and carrier
osmosis: diffusion of WATER across plasma membrane
-osmotic pressure= dev in system because of osmosis
-solvent= water, moves across mem to HIGHER SOLUTE CONCEN.
aquaporins: channels for moving water
hypertonic: More water INSIDE (crenation(animal shriveling), plasmolysis (plant)
hypotonic: more water OUTSIDE: turgor pressure (plant swelling) hemolysis (red cell swelling) cytolysis (non red)

36
Q

different membrane transport (energy vs no energy)

A

ENERGY NOT REQUIRED
Diffusion: towards lower concentration, needs concentration gradient

Facilitated Transport: towards lower concentration, needs channels or carrier and concentration gradient

ENERGY REQUIRED
Active Transport: toward higher concentration, needs carrier and energy

Exocytosis: toward outside, needs vesicle fuse w/ PM

Endocytosis: toward inside, needs vesicle formation, in single cell organisms
-phagocytosis: material taken is LARGE
-pinocytosis: vesicles form around liquid around small particles
-receptor-mediated: receptor takes vitamin, hormone, and binds

37
Q

DIABETES MELLITUS (how is insulin released in blood)

A

High blood sugar (glucose) levels over a long period
-Increased urination
-Increased thirst
-Bring blood back to proper Osmotic Pressure
In response to glucose, insulin is released

38
Q

function of GLUT protein, and how it gets there

A

Insulin receptors on muscle and liver cells
GLUT4 proteins embedded in vesicle membrane
Vesicle merges with cell membrane
Glucose enters cells by Facilitated diffusion

39
Q

how insulin affects cells that take up glucose

A

Rise in blood glucose causes Beta cells in pancreas to release insulin, a protein
Insulin travels to different cells throughout the body to induce them to take up glucose.

40
Q

forms of energy

A

kinetic: motion
potential: stored energy
chemical: energy in chemical bonds of molecules such as FOOD
mechanical: form of KE associated with position of motion

41
Q

2 laws of thermodynamics

A
  1. law of conservation of energy: energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can change from one form to another
    -plant cells use solar energy to convert CO2 and H2O to carbs, energy from sun NOT DESTROYED
  2. energy cannot be changed fro one form to another without a loss of usable energy
    -heat used in photosynthesis and cellular respiration dissipates into environment
42
Q

entropy!!

A

measure of disorder/randomness in system
-2nd law indicates every process in cell increases entropy
-cell remains organized because of constant flow of energy

43
Q

the different metabolic reactions

A

metabolism: sum of all chemical reactions
catabolism: breaks down LARGE particles to small
anabolism: smaller molecules are combined to form LARGER molecules
(free energy: amount of energy available so negative means products have less than reactants and positive means products have more than reactants)
exergonic reaction: releases energy
endergonic reaction: requires input of energy

44
Q

describe the ATP cycle

A
  1. ADP + 3 Phosphate
  2. endergonic reaction: creation of ATP to ADP and phosphate requires input of other energy sources
  3. adenosine triphosphate is made: ATP is unstable and has high potential energy
  4. exergonic reaction: hydrolysis of ATP releases stored energy allowing the change in free energy to do work and drive processes
45
Q

purpose of metabolic pathways and how enzymes regulate them

A

-metabolic pathway begins with reactant and ends with final product
-each step in MP is catalyzed by an enzyme
-in the 1st reaction, the substrate is catalyzed into the product then THAT product is used as the substrate for the following reaction

46
Q

activation energy

A

ENERGY MUST BE ADDED TO CAUSE A REACTION
-addition of enzyme does not change result BUT without an enzyme, the reaction rate will be very slow

47
Q

enzyme function

A

enzymes contain active sites where the substrate may bind
-reaction results in degradation of substrate into multiple products (catabolism) or synthesis of a product (anabolism)
-induced fit model: change in active site shape
-factors of speed: substrate concentration, temp/pH, enzyme activation, enzyme inhibtion

48
Q

function and importance of coenzymes and cofactors

A

cofactors: nonprotein assistant required by enzyme in order to function INORGANIC IONS (metals Cu, Zn, Fe)
coenzymes: aids in the action of enzyme ORGANIC (NAD+, NADP+, vitamins)
TEMP INCREASE= ENZYME ACTIVITY INCREASE

49
Q

relationship between metabolic pathways and photosynthesis/cellular respiration

A

photosynthesis= chloroplasts capture solar energy and convert CO2, H2O into carb (capture sunlight, covert ti chemical ATP) used in hydrogen atoms to reduce CO2
cellular respiration= cells oxidize glucose, energy is gradually stored, convert to ATP
-carbs in chloroplasts become fuel for cellular respiration.

50
Q

coupled reactions

A

the energy released by an exergonic reaction is used to drive an endergonic reaction

51
Q

59
Q

Choose only those that require energy input from the cell whose membrane is directly involved.

A

Ldlcholesterolreceptorsfill up in a coated pit and the pit is pulled into the cell and made into a vesicle
The cell uses a sodium-potassium pump to create a high concentrationof sodium ions outside the cell.

60
Q
