Chapter 5, 6a, 6b, Flipped activity quiz Flashcards
Diffusion
Movement from high to low concentration
Concentration gradient
difference in concentration of solutes
Exergonic reactions
Spontaneous
Passive transport:
No energy, molecules move down gradient
Osmosis
Diffusion of water
Hypertonic
Water moves out, shrinkage
Hypotonic
water moves in, swelling
Isotonic
freely move in and out
Selective channels
Hydrophobic outside, hydrophilic inside
Voltage-gated, Lipand-gated, Mechanically-gated are
the three types of channels
What is membrane potential?
Difference in charge across membrane
Na+ is more concentrated _____ the cell
Outside
K+ is more concentrated ______ the cell
Inside
Active Transport
requires ATP, against gradient
Primary active transport
Exergonic with ATP
Secondary active transport
uses electrochemical gradient (pulley)
Plasma membrane
Separate cell from environment
Eukaryote plasma membrane
multiple compartments
Prokaryote plasma membrane
two defined compartments
What do cell membranes do?
keep out what’s bad, allow entry of important stuff
Cells are surrounded by what type of solutions?
Alkaline (pH greater than 7)
