Small hydrophobic molecules ______ through the membrane
Small hydrophobic molecules freely diffuse through the membrane
(O2, CO2, N2, benzene)
Small uncharged polar molecules ______ through the membrane
Small uncharged polar molecules can diffuse through the membrane
H2O requires _______ to diffuse through the membrane
H2O requires an aquaporin (protein channel) to diffuse through the membrane
Charged and polar solutes require ______, ______, or ______ to diffuse through the membrane
Charged and polar solutes require channels, transporters, or pumps to diffuse through the membrane
(ions and large uncharged polar molecules such as amino acids, glucose, and nucleotides)
Passive transport is driven by _____, while active transport requires ______
Passive transport is driven by gradients, while active transport requires metabolic energy (usually ATP)
Driving forces for diffusion are ______ and _______
Driving forces for diffusion are diffusion pressure (concentration gradient) and membrane potential (electrical gradient)
Water moves across a semipermeable membrane toward the direction of ______
Water moves across a semipermeable membrane toward the direction of higher solute concentration
Osmotic pressure is proportional to _______
Osmotic pressure is proportional to number of particles in solution
(an osmole is a unit of measure of osmotically active solute molecules)
Osmolality is expressed as ______
Osmolality is expressed as number of osmoles per kg of water
Serum osmolality can be estimated by:
Serum osmolality can be estimated by
2 * serum Na (mEq/L) + glucose (mg/dL) / 18 + BUN (mg/dL) / 2.8
