Q

Homeostatic imbalance exemple

A

certain disease or illnesses characterized as a loss of homeostasis in one or more systems. Dramatic changes in just one variable can have life threatening consequences. When homeostasis is lost for one varaible, it may trigger a series of changes in other variables leading to a cascade of problem . One exemple if an individual keeps running he might pass out eventualy.

18
Q

how does diffusion works?

A

all molecules have random , high speed movement due to their intrinsic kinetic energy. The movement results in collision between molecules. When the dye is evenly distributed there is no more net movement because there is no more concentration gradient

Q

Factors that affect diffusion rate

A
  1. Molecular size
  2. Temperature
  3. Concentration
  4. Surface area
  5. Medium (viscosity)
20
Q

It is reached when there is no net movement of molecules in either direction. This one happens naturally and doesnt require energy

A

Equilibrium

21
Q

Simple diffusion through memebranes

A

Non polar, lipid-soluble (hydrophobic) substance diffuse directly through phospholipid bilayer.
oxygen, carbon dioxide, steroid hormones, fatty acids and small amounts of very small polar substance like water can pass

22
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

Larger, non-lipid soluble, or polar molecules can cross membrane but only with assistance of carrier molecules
1. Carrier-mediated
2. Channel-mediated
use different types of integral membrane proteins
it imprat differnt properties to the transport process

23
Q

Carrier-mediated facilitated diffusion

A

certain hydrophilic molecules (glucose, amino acids and ions) are transported passively down their concentration gradient by carriers (transmembrane proteins)

  • each of the carrier transports specific substance
  • binding of molecule causes carrier to change shape and results in molecule being moved across membrane
24
Q

Channel-mediated facilitated diffusion

A

some integral membrane protein form channels that allows ions to diffuse across the membrane
- ion channels show selectivity for a particular type of ion (Na and K) based on chanel diameter, charged residues lining pore, water of hydration

25
Q

regulation of diffusion through ion channels

A

ion channel-open or closed state. Opening and closing channels is known as gating
- for a given electrochemical gradient the number of ions that are conducted by the channel depends on :
1. how often the channel opens
2. How long it stays open
gated channels: 1. Ligand-gated; 2. Voltage-gated; 3. Mechanically-gated

a given ion may pass through several types of channels

26
Q

Three factors determine the magnitude of solute flux through a mediated transport system

A
  1. The extent to which the binding sites are saturated
  2. The number of transporters in the membrane
  3. The rate at which the conformational change occurs
27
Q

there are two type of carrier mediated transport

A
  1. Facilitated diffusion
  2. Active transport
28
Q

Primary active transport

A

the hydrolysis of ATP provides the energy for primary active transport
Transporters are ATPases-enzymes that hydrolyze (breaks down using water ) ATP.
Na+/K+ ATPase pump

29
Q

Na+/K+ ATPase pump

A
  1. The transporter(with bound ATP) binds 3 Na+ on inside of cell (low affinity for K+)
  2. ATPase activated. Auto-phosphorylation
  3. Conformational change and release of Na+ to outside
  4. Increased affinity for K+ allows two K+ to binds
  5. Dephosphorylation and return to original conformation. Release of K+ to inside.
30
Q

Na+/K+ ATPase establishes electrochemical gradient

A

The pumping activity of the Na+/K+ ATPase establishes and maintains the characteristic distribution of high K+i and low Na+ inside and high Na+ and low K+ outside
The Na+/K+ ATPase estacblishe chemical gradient that can be used to do work

Between 10 to 40 % of the ATP a cell produces under resting condition is used by the Na+/K+ ATPase pump to maintain the sodium gradient

31
Q

Role of electrical force in ION movements

A

The unequal distribution of ions induces a seperation of electrical charges across the plasma membrane - called the membrane potential (electrical force)

The direction and magnitude of ion fluxes across membrane depend on both the concentration and the mmebrane potential. The two driven forces are known as electrochemical gradient

32
Q

secondary active transport

A

the energy stored in an electrochemical gradient can be used to drive the transport of other solutes.

The movment of an ion down its electrochemical gradient is coupled to the transport of another molecule (ex. glucose, amino acids)

These transporters have binding sites for ion (usually Na+) and the cotransported molecule.
It uses the stored energy of an electrochemical gradient to move both an ion and a second solute across a membrane

33
Q

cotransport (symport)

A

The ion and the second solute cross the membrane in the same direction
the movement of Na+ is always downhill, from high to low

34
Q

countertransport (antiport)

A

the ion and the second solute move in opposite directions
downhill from high to low

35
Q

osmosis

A

water diffuses across plasma membrane
- some through lipid balayer
- mostly through specific water channels called aquaporines
The flow occurs when the water concentration is different on the two sides of a membrane
= movement of solvent across a selectively permeable membrane

36
Q

a semi permeable membrane is called_

A

osmosis

37
Q

osmolarity

A

total number of solute particles in a solution
1M glucose is 1 osmol/L
1M NaCl ionizes to Na+ and Cl- (2 particles) is 2 Osm (osmolar)
1M solution of MgCl2 is 3 Osm
A 3 Osm solution may have 1 M glucose and 1 M NaCl
- ICF and ECF is 300 mOsm

38
Q

membrane permeable to both solutes and water

A

both solute and water molecules move down their concentrstion gradients

39
Q

memebrane permeable to water, impermeable to solutes

A

water moves by osmosis from an area of higher to lower water concentration (lower to higher solute concentration )

40
Q

hydrostatic pressure

A

outward pressure exerted on cell side of membrane caused by increases in volume of cell due to osmosis

41
Q

osmotic pressure

A

inward pressure due to tendency of water to be pulled into a cell with higher osmolarities
the more solutes inside the cell, the bigger the pull on water to enter, resulting in higher osmotic pressures inside the cell

42
Q

when hydrostatic pressure equals osmotic pressure there is_

A

no further net movement of water occurs
where the water trying to get out= water trying to get in

43
Q

Refers to the concentration of ALL solutes, peetrting (p) and non-penetrating (np)

A

Hyper-osmotic, iso-osmotic and hypo-osmotic

44
Q

refer to the concentration of non-penetrating solutes

A

Hypertonic, isotonic and hypotonic
Na+, Cl- and K+

45
Q

hypotonic solutions

A

cells take on water by osmosis until the become bloated and burst (lyse)
It contains a lower concentration of non penetrating solutes than are present inside cells

46
Q

hypertonic solutions

A

cells lose water by osmosis and shrink
contains a higher concentration of nonpenetrating solutes than are present inside the cells

47
Q

Isotonic solutions

A

Cells retain their normal size and shape
same solute/water concentration as inside cells; water moves in and out
