Q

True/False: ICF and ECF have very different compositions.

A

True

17
Q

Why is na+ k+ gradient so important?

A

it is the basis for communication and maintaining gradients are necessary for life.
Proper absorption of nutrients is dependent in Na+ gradient

18
Q

What molecules can move across cell membranes?

A

small, non-polar solutes

i.e. O2, CO2, Ethanol, Steroid hormones, Water

19
Q

What other ways can molecules move across membranes?

A

Channels and Transport proteins

20
Q

What movement goes downhill (no energy needed)?

A

passive transport

21
Q

What movement goes uphill (energy needed)?

A

active transport

22
Q

When do you have more movement with passive transport?

A

If increase gradient

If increase temperature

23
Q

What are the 2 types of passive transport?

A

diffusion

facilitated diffusion

24
Q

What are the two types of active transport?

A

Primary active

Secondary active

25
Q

What type of transport requires energy? what does it use for energy?

A

Active transport- moving something against concentration gradient using ATP
(name usually includes ATPase, porter, or exchanger)

26
Q

Movement of water due to a difference in osmotic pressure.

A

Osmosis

27
Q

Osmotic pressure is not diffusion of water it is movement of water. But it is basically diffusion of water why?

A

Movement of water from low solute conc. to high concentration.

28
Q

Comparison of two fluids separated by a semi-permeable membrane, with respect to the bathing solution.

A

Tonicity

29
Q

Inside of cell has more dissolved solutes

A

Hypotonic (hyposmotic)
