Ingestion Of Organic Material: Heterotrophic Flashcards
Ameba
Food is engulfed by phagosynthesis (use pseudopods), waste is removed via cell membrane (diffusion), food is enclosed in vacuoles that merge with a lysosome
Paramecium
Food moves along “cilia” to oral grove, waste is removed via anal pore, food is enclosed in vacuoles that merge with a lysosome
Cell Membrane
selectively regulates flow of material
Fluid mosaic models
movement of embedded proteins “waves”
Factors of movement
Size, solubility, change, PH
Size
Small, moves freely, and waste products
Solubility
Hydrophobic/lipids/hydrophilic
Change
Polarity
PH
High [ ] or low [ ]
Large molecules
need a receptor site for entry or exit
Cystic fibrosis
Defect in chlorine channel
mucus build up in lungs -> recurring infection -> death
“CFTR” gene
Diffusion and Passive Transport
No energy required, involves a [ ] gradient
[ ⬆️ ] gradient particles
Begins to collide, generates kinetic energy, no energy required “Downhill,” will occur until an equilibrium is met
Active Transport
Energy is required by the cell proteins embedded in cell membrane (receptors), move particles against a [ ] gradient “uphill”
[ ⬇️ ] gradient particles
Diffusion = passive transport
Bc the energy is from the kinetic energy during particle collision
