Membrane Transport Flashcards
Types of Membrane Transport
Passive Diffusion
Active Diffusion
Vesicular
Which types of membrane transport DON’T require energy
Passive DIffusion
What types of membrane transport DO require energy
Active Transport
Vesicular
Types of Passive Diffusion
Through membrane
Through channels
Facilitated Diffusion
What can be transported through membrane
gases
small uncharged molecules
What type of transporter does facilitated diffusion use
uniporter
uniporter
carries 1 substance down it’s concentration gradient
What does facilitated diffusion transport
single type of molecule
What’s an example of a problem that can happen with facilitated diffusion
Type I diabetes
What are factors that affect passive diffusion through channels
permeability
concentration gradient
selectivity
Types of passive diffusion channels
Water
Ions
What are water channels mediated by
aquaporins
What is an example of a problem caused with mutated aquaporins
ND1
Ion Channels have what kind of movement
down electrchemical gradient
What are different types of gates
Mechanical, Ligand, Voltage
Primary Active transport
Pumps driven directly by ATPase
How does primary active transport transport small uncharged molecules
against their concentration gradient
