Q

What’s passive transportation?

A

Transportation of the cell that does not need ATP/energy. Instead uses kinetic energy to move from high to low concentration. (down concentration gradient)

Q

IN AN ANIMAL CELL if the cell is hypertonic and the outside is hypotonic which way is water going?

Q

IN AN ANIMAL CELL if the cell is hypotonic and the outside is hypertonic which way is water going?

Q

IN AN ANIMAL CELL if the cell is isotonic and the outside is isotonic which way is water going?

A

Will flow equally inside and out of cell. Happy reached equilibrium.
we always want to be like this.

Q

IN A PLANT CELL if the cell is hypertonic and the outside is hypotonic which way is water going?

A

Going into the cell. Cell is happy like this “Turgid” Water pushing cell membrane against cell wall.

Q

IN A PLANT CELL if the cell is hypotonic and the outside is hypertonic which way is water going?

A

Going out of cell. Cell not happy membrane shrivels up while cell wall stays rigid. How plants die. called plasmolysis

Q

IN A PLANT CELL if the cell is isotonic and the outside is isotonic which way is water going?

A

Equally in and out. Cell not happy but not sad its meh. would rather be turgid. ITs flacid

How to do molar stuff

A

Q

pH Scale

18
Q

What do Gated Ion Channels do and how do they work?

A

they move ions through the membrane through a protein that opens and closes. Electrical signals from neurons allow it to open and close. It can also be stretched and pulled together to open and close.

19
Q

Sodium Potassium Pump

A

2 posatium(K+) in and 3 soduim(Na+) out
axon sends signals to dendrites to recieve signals
Na/K pump resets the resting potential

20
Q

Cotransport

A

The molecule of interest is then transported down the electrochemical gradient. While this process still consumes ATP to generate that gradient, the energy is not directly used to move the molecule across the membrane, hence it is known as secondary active transport.

21
Q

Endocytosis

A
22
Q

Exocytosis

A
23
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

The process of diffusion used for molecules that cannot diffuse rapidly trough cell membranes, even when there is a concentration gradient.

24
Q

When is facilitated diffusion used?

A

Molecules cannot undergo normal diffusion are typically nonsalable(polar) in lipids or too larger to pass through pores of the membrane

25
Q

Ions cannot diffuse across the membrane because …?

A

Ions are not soluble in lipids

26
Q

How do Ion channels work?

A

Some ion channels are always open; others have gates
3 ways a gate open and closes
Stimuli: stretching of the membrane
Electrical signals
chemicals (hormones) in cytosol or environment

27
Q

Phagocytosis

A

Membrane eats big particle and moves with a vesicle

28
Q

Pinocytosis

A

Membrane eats many small particle and moves with a vesicle

29
Q

Receptor-mediated endocytosis

A

special coated membrane connecrs to special particles

30
Q

Endocytoisis

A

Bring stuff in

31
Q

Exocytosis

A

Pushes out
Hint exfoliates
