transporters IL Flashcards
the membrane is selectively
permeable
water soluble substances ___ dissolve in lipid bilayer but some can cross the cell membrane
cannot
can red blood cells, large proteins pass through the membrane
no
integral/ intrinsic/transmembrane proteins
ion channels transport proteins, these span the entire cell membrane or are embedded in the membrane
where are peripheral or extrinsic proteins located
one side of cell membrane, intra or extracellular side ex ankyrin
types of membrane transport
simple diffusion
facilitated diffusion (carrier mediated)
primary active transport (carrier mediated)
secondary active transport (carrier mediate)
osmosis
all forms of carrier mediated transport have 3 common features
chemical specifity sterospecifity
competition
saturation
at high solute concentrations the rate of transport reaches a
plateau
Transport maximum Tm is defined as the maximum rate at which the substance can be reabsorbed
uniport
transport of a single substance
symport
transport of more than one substance in the same direction aka cotransport
antiport
transport of more than one substance in opposite directions aka countertransport or exchange
facilitated diffusion
passive transport
along concentration gradient facilitated by a carrier protein in the cell membrane
examples of facilitated diffuson
intestinal lumen
intestinal epithelial cell
blood
primary active transport
transport of solutes against the concentration gradient
