Lecture 2 (Membrane Transport) Flashcards
Glucose transporters (GLUT transporter) employ which kind of transport?
Facilitated diffusion
The sodium-potassium pump is an example of which kind of transport?
Primary active transport
In secondary active transport is ATP involved
it is only involved initially
The sodium-glucose pump is an example of which kind of transport
Secondary active transport
If you see the word pump what can you assume
That ATP/energy is involved at some point
The sodium-calcium pump is an example of what kind of transport
Secondary active transport
what is kinetic energy
The energy the body possesses due to motion
what is thermal energy
The energy the body possess due to heat
What is diffusion
The continued movement of molecules among one another. leads to movement from high conc. to low conc
What is osmosis
The net movement of water caused by differences in water concentration
How are diffusion and osmosis related to semipermeable membranes
Concentration gradients can allow some molecules, such as water, to go through the membrane in order to decrease the concentration on the other side. meanwhile other molecules are not able to pass through the membrane
What is osmotic pressure
The amount of pressure that is needed to stop osmosis
what is the equation for effective osmotic pressure
effective osmotic pressure=osmotic pressure x reflection coefficient
What are the 3 types of energy independent transports
diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion
what is typically a ligand molecule
Steroid or hormone
