Lecture 3 Part 2 Flashcards
Fluid outside cells
Interstitial fluid
Interstitial fluid is made of:
Amino acids Sugars Fatty acids Vitamins Hormones Salts Wastes
Plasma membrane only allows some substances to enter cell
Selective Permeability
Two types of transport:
Passive
Actives
No energy (ATP) needed
Passive transport
Molecules move from high to low concentration
Down concentration gradient
Two types of passive transport:
Diffusion
Filtration
Nonpolar and lipid-soluble substances diffuse directly through lipid bilayer
Simple diffusion
Example of substances that undergo simple diffusion
O2
CO2
Fat-soluble vitamins
Transport proteins (carrier or channel proteins) assist molecules across membrane
Facilitated diffusion
Example of transport proteins:
Glucose
Amino acids
H2O
Ions
Water-filled channels
Channel proteins
Example of channel proteins:
Ions
Binds molecule, changes shape, ferries it across membrane
Carrier proteins
Example of carrier proteins:
Glucose transporter
Diffusion of H2O
Osmosis
