Lecture 9 Flashcards
Two types of transport through membrane
Passive and active
Diff between passive and active transport
Passive : no energy
Active : energy
Types of passive transport
Osmosis
Diffusion
Facilitated diffusion
Types of active transport
Primary
Secondary
Vesicular
What is primary active transport
Protein pump uses ATP to move solutes from low to high concentration
Secondary transport
Uses transmembrane electrochemical gradient of ions to provide E to bring components against concentration gradient
Vesicular transport types
Endocytosis and exocytosis
What is a concentration gradient
One area has a lower [] and one has a higher
What can cross freely through membrane by diffusion
Lipid soluable (hydrophobic), o2, co2
What happens at equilibrium
Molecules keep moving without a net mouvement or change in []
Rate/speed of diffusion depends on (3)
- Concentration (more = faster bc more collision)
- Molecular size
- Temperature (higher increases speed)
The more lilid soluble, the more
It will diffuse across membrane
Equilibrium in organisms rarely or frequently occurs?
Very rarely (ex o2 in and co2 out constantly)
What is osmolarity
Total [] of dissolved particles in solution
Osmolarity formula
Molarity x n (number of particles in solution)
Ex of osmolarity : 0.3M of NaCl = ?
0,3 x 2 = 0,6 osmol/L
