Membrane Transport (CELL) Flashcards
the homogeneous mixture of two or more components
Solution
Two types of solution
1) solvent
2) Solutes
Dissolving medium pression in the larger quantity,
Solvent
The body’s main solvent is
Water
It is the components in smaller quantities within a solution
Solutes
So Sean containing gas nutrients and salts dissolved in water
Nucleoplasm and cytosol
Intracellular fluid
Fluid on the exterior of the cell
Extracellular fluid
Contains thousands of ingredients such as nutrients, hormones, neutrotransmitters, salts, and waste products
Extracellular fluid
The plasma membrane is selectively permeable barrier wherein some materials can pass through while others are excluded
Membrane transport
Cellular transport have two basic methods
1) passive transport
2) active transport
No energy is required in this transport
Passive transport
Which transport the cell must provide metabolic energy
Active transport
The process of passive transport
Diffusion and filtration
Molecule movement is from high concentration to low concentration, down a concentration gradient
Diffusion
Particles tend to distribute themselves evenly within a solution
Diffusion
Type of energy that causes the molecules to move about randomly in the diffusion
kinetic energy
These 2 affect the speed of diffusion
1) size of the molecules
2) temperature
Molecules will move by diffusion if any of the following applies
The small molecules are:
1) are small enough to pass through the membrane pores
2) are lipid- soluble
3) are assisted by a membrane carrier
The types of diffusion
1) simple diffusion
2) osmosis
3) Facilitated diffusion
An unassisted process of the diffusion
Simple diffusion
Diffusion are lipid-soluble or small enough to pass through membrane pores
Simple diffusion
It is the simple diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
Osmosis
Highly follow water molecules is the loss the plasma membrane through aquaporins and it’s water move down its concentration gradient
Osmosis
Diffusion of water through a specific channel protein
Osmosis
