Q

Aquaporins

A

Water channels that allow water to enter and exit cell by FACILITATED DIFFUSION

26
Q

REsult of ions moving across membrane

A

cell can have different amount of electrical charge than the outside

27
Q

Membrane Potiental

A

CHARGE DIFFERENCES between the inside and outside of a cell due to differences in charged ions
Electrical signals

28
Q

Membrane potential cause

A

Movement of ions across cell

29
Q

Active transport

A

Requires an input of cellular energy

30
Q

Primary active transport

A

Cell uses ATP directly
Break down of Adenosine triphosphate

31
Q

Secondary active transport

A

Uses ATP indirectly to move molecules across the membrane

32
Q

What do transport proteins do with energy

A

Use it to change shape and pumps molecules

33
Q

Sodium potassium pump

A

A transmembrane protein that actively moves sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions in
Uses energy from ATP bonds
AGAINST concentration gradients

34
Q

Antiporters

A

One molecule moves into the cell, while another one moves out of the cell

35
Q

Symporters

A

One transport protein that moves two molecules in the SAME direction

36
Q

How do concentrations of ions build up on one side of the cell

A

Transport proteins pump ions into the cells

37
Q

Concentration gradients in 2ndary transport

A

Stores energy that can be harnessed to drive the movement of other molecules across the membrane, against their concentration gradient.

38
Q

Molecules the flow from areas of higher to lower concentration happen when

A

As ions move from areas of higher to lower concentration
2ndary transport

39
Q

Movement of molecules is driven by the movement of ions, not atp directly

A

2ndary active transport

40
Q

What drive secondary active transport

A

The energy stored in an electrochemical gradient

41
Q

Proton pumps through active transport can cause what

A

The concentration of protons to build up on one side of the cell membrane.

A CONCENTRATION gradient

42
Q

Concentration gradient movememnt

A

Favors movement of protons back to the other side

43
Q

What blocks the movement of protons back to the otherside after primary transport
What does this cause

A

The lipid bilayer blocks movement
It stores the energy

44
Q

Electrotrical Graident

A

Difference in charge of a membrane
Ions move from areas of like to unlike charge
Protons –> MORE NEGATIVE side

As protons move out, other molecules are pushed into the cell, 2ndary transport

45
Q

Electrical chemical gradient

A

A gradient that has both a chemical and charge component

46
Q

Why can transport proteins use the movement of protons down their gradient to drive the movement of other molecules against their concentration gradient

A

The electrochemical gradient` moves protons back.

47
Q

Where do molecules end up with diffusion

A

The cytoplasam of the cell

48
Q

Vessicles

A

Small spherical organelles that trabel between organelles of the ENDOMEMBRANE SYSTEM in eukaryotic cells

49
Q

Where are contents released during endocytosis

A

outside the cell

50
Q

exotysis

A

Where vesicle fuses with the cell membrane and releases its contents to the EXTRACELLULAR SPACE

51
Q

what does exocytosis depend on

A

fluid and dynamic nature of the cell membrane
vesicles fuse with membrane

52
Q

Exocytosis and waste

A

remove cytoplasmic waste, packed into vesicles and fused with the cell membrane, releasing waste outside the cell.

53
Q

Exocytosis and neurotransmitters

A

neurotransmitters are packaged into vesicles by nerve cells, and released by exocytosis, travel through extracellular space, where they bind to receptors on surface of an adjacent nerve.

54
Q

Exocytosis and protiens

A

Deliver proteins, embedded on rough endoplasmic reticulum as they are synthesized
Vesicles carry proteins that were associated with the membrane , and fuse them with surrounding membranes

55
Q

Endocytosis

A

Vesicle buds off from the cell membrane towards towards the cell interior or INVAGINATES, enclosing materials from outside the cell, into the cell

56
Q

Phagocytosis

A

Cells ingest large particles, microorganisms, and dead cells.

57
Q

What part of the cell digests waste

A

lysosomes

58
Q

Where do materials end up through endo and exocytosis

A

In and out of vessicels

59
Q

Where do things end up in active and passive transport

A

in the cytosol of the cytoplasm

60
Q

Where does endo and exocytosis uniquely occur in

A

Eukaryotes

61
Q

Why is a dynamic cytoskeleton needed for in tranportation

A

Shuttle vesicles around the interior of the cell, directing their movement in endocytosis.

62
Q

Consequence of accelerated pace of transportation

A

Eukaryotic cells are much larger.
