Q

Where are Voltage gated channels found?

how do they open?

A

They are found on Axons and Dendrites

They open and close due to the change of charge around the gate.

Q

Where are tension gated ions channels found? and how do they open?

A

They are found in regularity tissues such as the aorta.

They are force-ably opened by the cell, the opening of these gates distorts the cell shape due to them being anchored to the cytoskeleton.

Q

How do ligand gated ion channels activate?

A

When a ligand binds to these channels it alters their shape and forces them to open.

Q

What is always at a higher concentration outside then cell than inside the cell?
Why?

A

Na+

In order to make a charge gradient across the cell.

16
Q

What channel must always be active within a cell to ensure a proper charge gradient?

A

Sodium Potassium pumps.

17
Q

How many stages are involed within the Na/K pump?

18
Q

What process happens to allow for the secondary active transport of glucose with epithelial cells?

A

Glucose is co-transported up its concentration gradient with Na+ that is moving down its concentration gradient.

19
Q

What generates heat within cells?

A

The inefficiency of gradient driven transport.

20
Q

To what degree of greater affinity can a humming bird take up glucose when compared to a human?

A

10X greater ability to take up glucose.

21
Q

What is a Quatromear?

A

A protein with 4 active sites.

22
Q

When you run moving water through a enclosed copper pipe what happens?

A

The pipe will heat up due to microscopic interactions between the molecules building friction and waste heat.

Second law of thermodynamics.

23
Q

What are the four main uses of Energy within any given animal?

What is this called?

A
  • Growth
  • Biosynthesis
  • Maintenance
  • Generation of external work.

Homeostatic work.

24
Q

What is Biosynthesis?

three main

A

The production of any and all cells within an organism that allow for it to survive.
- Growth, reproduction, and fitness.

25
What is Maintenance? (energy consumption)
Burning up sorages of energy to maintain th bodies homeostatic state. - generate heat - build energy.
26
What is "The generation of external work" (energy consumption)
The Use of energy to move muscles, generate work (kinetic energy) so that it can eat and reproduce.
27
When someone is riding a bike, what type of energy is being produced by the cell?
Potential energy of position.
28
What type of metabolism in involved with riding a bike?
Aerobic | Burns O2 to generate energy
