26
Nuclear Envelope?
Double membrane-bound with nuclear pores
27
Mitochondria?
Power storehouse // Major site of ATP synthesis // Major source of energy
28
Cristae?
Infoldings of inner membrane
29
Matrix?
Space of interior of the mitochondria
30
Breaks down fatty acids and amino acids into hydrogen peroxide?
Peroxisomes
31
Hyposmotic?
Expands and fills with water
32
Isosmotic?
Cell stays the same between solution and the cell
33
Hyperosmotic?
Shrinks cell
34
Isotonic?
Nothing goes in or out of cell
35
Hypotonic?
More salt in cell than solution // lysis (explodes the cell)
36
Hypertonic?
Causes crenation or the cell to shrink // more salt in the solution
37
.9% is equal to how many mosmoles?
300
38
5% dextrose is equal to how many mosmoles?
300
39

Facilitated diffusion
42
How does glucose pass through the plasma membrane?
Facilitated Diffusion
43
All channels are what?
Facilitated
44
What is the primary active transport?
Na+/K+ ATPase pump
45
Main purpose of Na+/K+ ATPase pump?
Creates gradient // Uses ATP directly
46
What is facilitated diffusion?
Uses ATP indirectly
47
Hydrophobic particles?
Simple Diffusion
48
Hydrophilic particles?
Facilitated Diffusion
49
RMP?
Na+/K+ ATPase pump + leak channels
50
Osmotic Pressure?
Force required to prevent water from moving across a semi-permeable membrane
51
What 6 things influence the rate of diffusion?
Magnitude of concentration, temperate of solution, size of diffusing molecules or ions, viscosity of solvent, surface area, distance
52
Channels are always what?
OPEN
53
Carrier proteins are what?
Only open on one side at a time
54
What is absolute refractory period?
Period of time where action potentials can't occur // No stimulus is high enough to create another action potential
55
What is the relative refractory period?
When an action potential can occur but isn't likely... because of hyperpolarization
56
What are the two integral proteins?
Channel and carrier proteins
57
Depolarization is???
Sodium
58
Repolarization???
Potassium
59
Alpha subunits do what?
Dissociate
60
When do the voltage gates for Na+ and K+ open?
At threshold
61
Which voltage gate takes longer to open?
Potassium
62
There is a rush of what when graded potentials hit threshold?
Sodium
63
When does sodium inactivation gate close?
The peak (over shoot)
64
Salt water?
Hypertonic
65
Tap water?
Hypotonic
66
All-or-nothing theory?
Once it hits threshold it will always be an action potential
67
What are graded potentials?
Deviations from resting membrane potential that may or may not cause action potentials
68
What needs to happen to create another action potential?
Na+ voltage gate needs to be at resting membrane state
