25
movement of water out of the cell and cells shrink
hypertonic- osmotic pressure is greater in extracellular fluid

carrier proteins called ATPases are necessary in
active transport
27
movement of ions making ion gradient which powers?
secondary active transport
28
examples of active transport
uptake of glucose into the intestines and uptake of ions
29
secondary active transport is not driven by ATP but instead by
ion concentration gradient (from primary transport)
30
transporters of secondary active transport do not have
ATPase activity
31
the larger alpha protein of the sodium potassium pump has how many binding sites for sodium and potassium and where are they in the cell?
sodium- 3 binding sites INSIDE the cell | potassium- 2 binding sites OUTSIDE the cell
32
energy released from sodium-potassium pump causes a conformation change in the?
carrier protein
33
sodium is pumped where and potassium is brought where?
sodium is pumped to the outside and potassium is brought inside
34
secondary active transport symporters are
glucose and amino acids
35
secondary active transport anti porters are
calcium and hydrogen
36
transport molecules in the SAME direction across plasma membrane are called
symporters
37
with co transport/symporters and anti porters, molecule 1 is moved __1_____the gradient while molecule 2 is actively transported __2_____ the gradient

example of antiporter
sodium-calcium antiporter in cardiac muscle
41
glucose transport occurs by?
facilitated diffusion and secondary active transport
42
active transport of glucose is used when glucose concentration in cell is
higher than extracellular
43
secondary active transport in glucose transport uses
sodium-glucose transport proteins (SGLT)
44
absorption of glucose into the Si happens when sodium and glucose are transported
into the enterocyte/cell (symport/co-transport)
45
energy for absorption of glucose into the SI is derived from
electrochemical gradient of sodium created by sodium-potassium ATPase
46
4 steps of glucose active transport
1. sodium binds carrier protein 2. glucose binds carrier protein 3. carrier proteins release glucose and sodium into enterocyte 4. sodium is pumped out of enterocyte and potassium is pumped in using ATP
