GENBIO L1- TRANSPORT Flashcards
Some small molecules, such as carvon dioxide move across the crll membrane via?
Diffusion
Particles move from an area of HIGH CONCENTRATION to LOW CONCENTRATION
Diffusion
Molecules move down their gradients through the membrane
Simple Diffusion
Diffusion that is helped by a membrane transport channel/carriers
Facilitated Diffusion
Movement of solvent particles in a semi-permiable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration
Osmosis
Causes the cell to be flavid (shrinkled/wrinkled) due to loss of water in extreme cases the cell will be plasmolyzed or die by dehydration
Hypertonic Solution
“The same” meaning there is no change and there is a same distribution of cells
Isotonic Solution
The cell will gain water causing it to die evetually
Hypotonic Solution
Transport that directly ises ATP for energy
Active Transport
Example of a Primary Active Transport:
Sodium-Potassium pump
The rapid rise in Potential, initiated by the opening of Sodium ion channels
Depolarization
The subsequent return to resting potential, mediated by the openifn of potassium ion channels
Repolarization
Secondary Active Transport examples:
Uniport
Antiport
Symport
When a particular tyoe of molecules moves across a membrane through a carrier protein, independent of other molecules
Uniport
A mechanism for the coupled transportation of two different molecules or Ions passing trough a membrane in opposite direction
Antiport
