35
Q

Why are homeostasis and equilibrium not synonymous in physiology?

A

Disequilibrium is required to maintain homeostasis (ex. chemical/electrical disequilibrium)

36
Q

Permeability of plasma membrane

Permeable to small uncharged, polar molecules
Impermeable to ions, large, uncharged polar molecules

37
Q

A

Difference in concentration of a chemical from one place to another

38

A

Difference in charges between two regions

39
Q

A

Combined influence of concentration gradient and electrical gradient on movement of an ion across a membrane

40
Q

Electrical gradient direction always goes

A

Positive –> negative

41
Q

Primary active transport

A

Directly requires ATP –> creates concentration gradient

42
Q

Secondary active transport

A

Activated by primary active transport, uses not ATP, uses concentration gradient to drive transport

43
Q

Properties of diffusion

A

Passive, high concentration to low concentration, net movement until equal, rapid over short distances, related to temperature, inversely related to molecule size (slower with larger mol)

44
Q

Fick’s Law of Diffusion

A

Rate of diffusion proportional to (surface area x concentration gradient x membrane permeability)/membrane thickness and membrane permeability dependent on lipid solubility and molecular size

45
Q

Active transport requires

A

Energy, either directly from ATP (primary) or in the form of a concentration gradient (secondary)

46
Q

Diffusion

A

Movement of a substance down its concentration gradient due to its kinetic energy

47
Q

Simple diffusion

A

Solute moves across membrane without help of transport proteins

48
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

Solute moves across membrane aided by channel protein or carrier protein

49
Q

Gated channel

A

A portion of the channel protein acts as a gate to open or close the channel’s pore to passage of ions

50
Q

Carrier protein vs. gated channel protein

A

Carrier protein = conformational change, gated channel = small gate (no conformational change)
**CARRIER PROTEINS NEVER FORM AN OPEN CHANNEL

51
Q

Types of carrier proteins

A

Uniport (1 molecule transported), symport (2 molecules delivered to same side), antiport (2 molecules delivered to opposite sides)

52
Q

Carrier proteins

A

Binds to substance on one side of membrane, undergoes conformational change, releases substance on opposite side of membrane

53
Q

Solute specificity

A

A given carrier protein transports only one solute or a group of solutes that are structurally related

54
Q

Channel vs. carrier protein

A

No conformational change in channel-mediated protein –> channel opens without requiring conformational change or ATP

A

Primary active transport

56
Q

57
Q

Na+ and K+ concentrations always occur in _______ direction

A

Opposite

58
Q

Antiporters

A

carry two substances across the membrane in opposite directions

59
Q
