105
Q

simple diffusion

A

movement of small particles across the membrane that don’t need help. H2O, steroids, gases
[ ] dependent only

106
Q

facilitate diffusion

A

need protein to move it. carriers can become saturated

107
Q

flux is controlled by

A

distance need to move, diffusion properties and electrochemical gradients

108

110
Q

what side of a cell is Na+ and Cl- high on

A

extracellular

111
Q

[ ] gradients can be used for what

A

transporting other solutes against their [ ] gradient

112
Q

Na+/K+ gate

A

inside of cell, 3 Na+ bind. phosphorylate channel which conformationally changes channel and lets Na+ out into extra cell. 2K+ bind causing conformational change so K+ released into cell

113
Q

Where is Ca2+ low

A

Cytosol. Ca2+ stored in extracellular stores because passively wants to move into cells! used for many pathways

114
Q

Proton [ ] gradient

A

wants to move into cells

115
Q

Cl- moves with

A

HCO3-. bicarb buffer system Cl- tries to balance out extreme + charge on extracellular side

116

membrane potential

A

separation of charges across a membrane

117
Q

Inhibiting Na+/K+ pump causes?

A

Cell is going to swell because accumulation ions in cell

118
Q

hypertonic.hypotonic environments

A

hypertonic external: cell shrinks because water leaves

hypotonic external: cell swells because water comes in

119
Q

Cell response to acute cell shrinkage

A

activation of Na+/H+ exchanger. takes in Na+ extrude H+, the extrusion of H+ is going to activate the HCO3-/Cl- pump because cell is getting too basic. Net uptake NA+ and Cl- so increase [ ] so water will follow

120
Q

Cell response to acute cell swelling (too high [ ])

A

open K+ and Cl- channels, diffuse out via [ ] gradient

121
Q

long term changes in solute [ ] (dehydration or drinking too much H2O)

A

creates ideogenic osmolytes in the cell in response to shrinking because need to bring H2O in

122
Q

cytoplasmic pH

A

7.0-7.3

123
Q

Intracellular metabolic acidosis/alkalosis

A

acidosis low pH(move H+ out) alkalosis high pH (inhibit moving H+ out and start to pump HCO3- out)

124
Q

Intracellular respiratory acidosis

A

increase CO2 in blood will be driven into cell which produces carbonic acid and H+ and OH- ions. so drop pH because [H+] increased
Na/H exchanger to raise pH then when reached pH it inhibits itself
Cl-HCO3- exchanger lowers pH and when reached pH it inhibits itself

125
Q

Intrinsic buffers

A

Intracellular, cannot escape cells. so like charged residues on proteins that can donate H+

126
Q

how to proteins get to where they need to be?

A

sorting signals, found within the aa sequence
sorting patches
detected by charge

127
Q

describe the various types of protein transport

A

gated: selective (nuclear pore) topologically equivalent
transmembrane: protein has to transport across membrane: topologically distinct
vesicular: using budding then fusion
