lecture 11 membrane transport Flashcards
cell membranes are ________ permeable
selectively
review worksheet about what solutes than can cross a phospholipid bilayer
ok
what type of molcules pass directly between lipids forming the membrane
small hydrophobic and small uncharged polar molcules
small molecules that cannot use simple diffusion to cross a cell membrane use what
transporter proteins and facilitated diffusion
what is facilitated diffusion
diffusion with help (from the transporter protein
what is faciliatetd diffusion mediated by
channel prpteins and carrier proteins
what is channel protein mostly used by
ions
what are carrier proteins mostly used by
other small solutes
how do channel proteins work
make tunnel to pass through membrane
how do carrier proteins work
chnage coformation allow their solute to cross the membrane
most channel proteins are what
gated, which means they open and close in response to cellular conditions
examples gated channel protein
-binding of ligand
-change in electrical gradient
-mechanical trigger
-light activation
what do diffusion rates of ions through ion channels depend on
electrochemical gradients
typical electrochemical gradient of cellular conditions
membrane potential negative inside
active transport
movement of solutes against their concentration gradient
what does active transport require
energy, making system more organized
what is concentration gradient in terms of ions
electrochemical gradient
examples of active transport
coupled transport, ATP driven pump, light driven pump
coupled trasnport refers to
protein
what is coupled trasnport
two moleqs cross the membrane at some point in time but one moves positively and releases energy
what should you think when you hear pump
energy is required (active transport)
