Q

Movement of molecules through transmembrane proteins

A

Facilitated diffusion/ passive transport

19
Q

Two kinds of transport proteins

A

channel and carrier

20
Q

water-filled pore or channel in the membrane allows charge substances to diffuse across membrane

A

diffusion through membrane channel

21
Q

small organic compounds that specifically transports ions across plasma membrane

A

ionophores

22
Q

transports single solute from one side of the membrane to the other

A

uniporters

23
Q

transfer solutes in the same direction

A

symporters

24
Q

transfers solutes in the opposite directions

A

antiporters

25
transfer one solute and simultaneously or sequentially transfer a second solute
coupled transporters
26
binding site for a specific solute and constantly flip between two states
diffusion through a carrier
27
A pump that actively maintains the gradient of sodium and potassium across the membrane
sodium-potassium pump
28
Types of endocytosis
- Pinocytosis - Phagocytosis - Receptor-mediated endocytosis
29
Movement of large molecules across membranes
endocytosis and exocytosis
30
Cell brings in macromolecules and particulate matter by forming new vesicles from the plasma membrane
endocytosis
31
cell creates a vesicle around a droplet of extracellular fluid
pinocytosis
32
cellular eating
phagocytosis
33
Triggered when extracellular substances bind to special receptors, such as ligands, on the membrane surface
receptor-mediated endocytosis
34
transport vesicles that budded from the golgi apparatus is moved by the cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane
exocytosis
35
Junction between cells
- tight junctions - adhering junction (zonula adherens, desmosome) - gap junctions
36
membranes of adjacent cells are fused, forming continuous belts around the cell. it prevents leakage of extracellular fluid
tight junction
37
fasten cell together intro strong sheets, reinforces by intermediate filaments of keratin
desmosome (anchoring junction)
38
Provide cytoplasmic channels between adjacent sells. salt ions, sugar, amino acids, and other small molecules can pass
gap junction
39
Osmotic properties of cells
1. ionic steady state 2. cell volume
40
two forces that can act on charge atoms and molecules
chemical gradient and electrical field
41
determined by the sum of the combined forces of the concentration gradient and electrical gradient
electrochemical gradient
42
potential at which an ion is in electrochemical equilibrium
equilibrium potential
43
if diffusible solutes are separated by a membrane that is freely permeable to water and electrolytes but totally impermeable to one species of ion, the diffusible solutes become unequally distributed between the two compartments
donnan equilibrium
