Lecture 6 Flashcards

1
Q

Why do transporters exist?

A
  • To transport objects that cannot be transported themselves across the cell membrane.
  • To facilitate the movement of molecules across the concentration gradient.

Q

What is a G Protien coupled receptor?

A

A receptor that involves the following steps:

  • a liagnd activates a G-protein coupled receptor
  • That receptor sends a message to the G-protein.
  • The G-protein then sends a message to Enzyme AC
  • Enzyme AC then converts ATP into cyclic AMP

Q

How fast is the GPCR reaction?

A

Lightning Fast

18
Q

why bother with GPCR?

A

Because it can regulated

19
Q

Why does your body invest in multi-step pathways?

A

So that it can better regulate the pathways involved.

20
Q

What is a enzyme linked receptor?

A

A receptor that when a lingand (first messenger) makes contact with it binds with GTP and makes Cyclic GMP (second messenger)

ie it actives a enzyme driven pathway.

21
Q

What is a intracellular receptor?

A

A lipophilic signaling molecule (a steroid) passes through the cell membrane and makes contact with a intracelluler receptor.

22
Q

What is the most common intracellular receptor?

A

Intracellular receptor within the nucleus, connects with a nuclear messenger.

Once the messenger is revived DNA begins replication.

23
Q

What is alpha- Conotoxin?

A

A toxin that binds to actolcoline receptors (ie muscle receptors)

24
Q

What does MOA mean?

A

Mechanism of Action

25
Is alpha-Conotoxin hypophilic?
yes it is
26
What is unique about hummingbirds glucose receptors?
They have a FUCK TON of them, because they basically live off of sugar water.
27
What ions dominate ECF?
Na+
28
What ions dominate ICF?
K+ Anionic protens With some Cl- and Na+
29
What direction does water want to move? | Towards or away from higher concentrations?
Towards higher concentration. In order to maintain equilibrium.
30
Will charges move towards equilibrium as well?
Yes, | as opposite charges attract.
31
True/false: | Solutes will also move towards equilibrium.
True.
32
True or false: | Cells are usually positive in respect to their environment.
False: | Cells are negatively charged internally.
33
Why does Potassium want to move into cells?
Because it is down its concentration gradient.
34
What is the boundary layer?
The area around a cell that is high in concentration of ionic particles that maintains a positive charge around the cell.
35
Where does organization of charged ions occur around the cell?
Only at the membrane.
36
What happens when you place a cell within a hyoptonic solution?
Water will move into the cell | The solution will move out of the cell.
37
What is the purpose of fishes gills?
To take ions out of the water and put them back into the fish.
38
What does it mean when a Fish is Catadromous?
When a fish lives in freshwater, and migreates to salt water to spawn. eels
39
What does it mean when a Anadromous mean?
Lives in saltwater, and migrates to freshwater to spawn. Salmon
40
Ion transport functions of ________ must change when a fish travels between salt and fresh water.
Epithelia. It is controlled by hormones.
