32
Q

Leakage channels (protein)

A
  1. Always opens
  2. ion channels
  3. transmembrane protein
33
Q

Gated channels (protein)

A
  1. Need stimuli to open/close
  2. Ligand gated - extra cellular signal molecules
  3. Mechanical gated - membrane deflection/touch receptor
  4. Voltage gated - opened by electrical charges
34
Q

Ligand

A

An extracellular signal molecule that binds to proteins/receptors

35
Q

Receptor proteins

A
  1. Receive a ligand and makes changes within the cell
  2. Receptors can be ion channels
  3. GPCR (G protein coupled receptor) - metabotropic receptor which causes biological change once ligand binds
36
Q

Carrier proteins

A
  1. Handle small polar molecules which cannot pass the cell membrane.
    (e.g. glucose)
37
Q

Enzymes

A
  1. Catalyze reactions
  2. Extracellular enzymes break large molecules into smaller molecules to transfer into the cell (e.g. lactose broken down)
38
Q

Linker proteins

A
  1. Cells arranged into tissues bind together
  2. Integral and peripheral proteins perform the linking
39
Q

Cell marker proteins

A

  2. Glycolipids - sugar+lipid (on red blood cells)
  3. Glycoproteins- sugar+protein (on almost all cells)
40
Q

Passive Transport (4)

A
  1. Does not require activation energy
  2. Solute or solvent’s move with their concentration gradient (high to low)
  3. Follow principles of diffusion/entropy

Simple/facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and filtration

41
Q

Simple diffusion

A
  1. Passive transport
  2. Small neutral/uncharged molecules move across the cell membrane
  3. Move high to low concentration
42
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A
  1. Passive transport
  2. Charged ions that need a “bridge” (protein) to cross the cell membrane
  3. Move high to low concentration
43
Q

Osmosis

A
  1. Water movement across a semi permeable membrane
  2. Water moves from high to low concentration

(Hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic)

46
Q

Hypertonic

A
  1. Concentration of water is higher inside the cell than outside the cell
  2. Water moves out of the cell causing shriveling (crenate)
47
Q

Hypotonic

A
  1. Concentration of water is higher outside of the cell than inside of the cell.
  2. Water moves into the cell, can burst/lyse.
48

50
Q

Kidney filtration molecular weigh cutoff

A

About 10,000 Da (10kDa)

Less than 10kDa passes, more than does not.

51
Q

Active Transport

  1. Requires energy
  2. Moves ions against the gradient of concentration, low to high.

Primary, secondary, and vesicular.

52
Q

Primary Active transport

A
  1. Na+/K+ pump or ATPase
  2. Maintains high sodium outside and high potassium inside.
  3. Uses ATP for energy
  4. 1 ATP, 3 Na+, 2 K+
  5. Low to high concentration
53
Q

Secondary Active transport

A
  1. Uses energy from an Na+/K plus to move other solutes
  2. Symporter (co transporter) both flow in the same direction
  3. Antiporter (exchanger) flow in opposite directions
54
Q

Vesicular active transport

A
  1. Moves large quantities of small things or things too large to pass through proteins.
  2. Endocystosis (into the cell)
  3. Exocytosis (out of the cell)
55
Q

Endocystosis

A

Taking into the cell.

  1. Phagocytosis (cell eating)
  2. Pinocytosis (cell drinking)
  3. Receptor mediated Endocytosis
56
Q

Phagocytosis

A

Cell eats large materials, surrounding in a vesicle and destroys.

57
Q

Pinocytosis

A

Cell brings in liquid into vesicle

58
Q

Receptor mediated Endocytosis

A
  1. Item of interest binds to cell surface protein receptor
  2. Clathrin (protein) changes shape to pull the item into a vesicle.
59
Q

Exocystosis

A
  1. Expelling from the cell
  2. Signal molecule or digestive enzyme that is created in the cell that must be released
  3. Vesicle fuses to inner cell membrane, and then releases item to exterior.
60
Q

Endotoxin

A

Prokaryotic outer layer of lipopolysaccharides that causes an abnormal immune response
