In the periodic table of the elements, the horizontal rows are called __ and that tells you how many electron shells the atom has. Sodium in period 3 has __ electron shells.

A

periods

3

35
Q

In the periodic table of the elements, the vertical columns are called __ and that tells you how many electrons are in the outermost shell or valence. Sodium is in group 1 and thus has _ electron in it’s outermost shell or valence.

37
Q

If you added an electrical charge to the following atoms, how would their names change?
fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine

fluorIDE, chlorIDE, bromIDE, iodIDE

38
Q

If you take ONE mole of sodium chloride molecules (NaCl), and drop it in water, the ionic bonds will break leaving you with sodium and chloride. Now how many moles are in the water? Thus if you put ONE mole of NaCl in water, how many OSMOLES did you add?

A

2
2
a mole of sodium molecule and a mole of chloride molecules = 2 osmoles

39
Q

Do glucose molecules break apart into their separate components- carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (like NaCl does) in water? In other words, if you added one mole of glucose to a liter of water, how many osmoles did you add to the water?

A

No they don’t break apart, so you only added one osmole to the liter of water. But NaCl does break apart, so adding one mole of NaCl to water would add TWO osmoles to the water.

40
Q

Osmosis (movement of water) is determined by the number of particles added, NOT the number of moles. So if you added a mole of glucose to one side of container of water, and one mole of NaCl to the other side and separated them by a membrane, which way would water go?

A

It would go towards the NaCl because NaCl breaks apart in water to one mole Na and one mole Cl = 2 moles of particles, while glucose stays bound = 1 mole of particles.

41
Q

OsmolaLity is the number of osmoles per __ of water

A

kg

42
Q

OsmolaRity is the number of osmoles of something per __ of water.

43
Q

A

osMotic

44

A

Every particle, regardless of size, makes an equal contribution to osmolality/osmolarity

45
Q

Water moves from areas of __ osmolality to areas of higher osmolality, or in other words from areas of __ molecules to areas of more particles

A

Lower to higher

Less to more

46

47
Q

49
Q

Test question- what is a major example of primary active transport?

50
Q

On the sodium potassium pump, how many sodiums move out and how many potassiums move in?

A

3 sodiums out

2 potassiums in

51
Q

Sodium potassium ATPase pumps are also called electrogenic pumps, they help establish the electrical gradient (potential) that makes cells negatively charged.

A

They also help maintain an appropriate sodium potassium concentrations in and out of cells which in turns keeps osmolality in check and thus maintains the integrity of the cell.

52
Q

What are some examples of “secondary active CO-transport”? They both want to go the same way.

A

sodium - glucose (AGAINST ITS CONC. GRADIENT, in the small intestine and renal tubules where lots of glucose must be absorbed very rapidly, insulin independent, TEST QUESTION)
sodium - amino acids (also in small intestines)
sodium - potassium

53
Q

What are some examples of “secondary active COUNTER-transport”? They want to go separate ways.

A

sodium - hydrogen (how the kidney maintains acid/base balance)
sodium - calcium

54
Q

What MUST remain active for secondary active transport to work?

A

The sodium-potassium ATPase pump

55
Q

If the sodium potassium ATPase pump became dysfunctional, would the secondary active co-transport of sodium/glucose or the counter-transport of sodium/hydrogen continue working?

A

NO.

56
Q

Pinocytosis- AKA cell __
Phagocytosis- AKA cell ___
do either go directly through the cell membrane?

A

drinking
eating, especially bacteria etc.
neither go DIRECTLY THROUGH the cell membrane, they both make a vesicle which breaks off either inward or outward.

57
Q

Why is pinocytosis a form of active transport?

exocytosis is all about secretion

A

pooping

59

A

yes

60
