Q

How are channel proteins different from carrier proteins?

A

Channel proteins open crates of water filled passage way

Carrier portions bind to substrate only open to one side of the membrane.

Q

What type of movement is passive and down a concentration gradient?

A

diffusion

17
Q

Diffusion always stops at;

A

equilibrium

18
Q

What factors affect the rate at which diffusion occurs?

A

Surface area, temperature, distance, lipid solubility, and size.

19
Q

Which of these factors increase diffusion? Decrease it?

A

1

20
Q

What type of diffusion uses transport proteins and is passive?

A

facilitated diffusion

21
Q

How is active transport different from diffusion?

A

active transport uses ATP to move product

Diffusion uses transport protiens

22
Q

What type of cells use active transport of sodium and potassium ions for their basic function?

A

nerve cell

23
Q

What term is used to describe cell eating, in which large particles or cells are engulfed?

A

phagocytosis (cell eating)

24
Q

What cell organelle is used to digest particles within phagosomes?

A

lysosome

25
Q

What is the taking in of small molecules by forming vesicles around them?

A

endocytosis

26
Q

How is exocytosis different from endocytosis? How is it often used in the cell?

A

endocytosis take in some molecules by forming vesicle around them.
exocytosis releases of cellular products such as hormones
