molecular transport

QuestionAnswer
A cell contains 97% water, 3% solute, if placed in solution of 98% water what type of solution? what direction will water go? what happens to the cell? type of transport? Hypotonic water enters cell it will swell/burst osmosis
A cell contains 99% water, if placed in solution of 97.5% water what type of solution? what direction will water go? what happens to the cell? type of transport? Hypertonic water leaves cell shrink osmosis
A cell contains 97% water what solution would put it at risk for plasmolysis and why anything less than 97% because it would have a lower concentration of water than the 97%
A cell contains 99% water, if placed in solution of 97% water what type of solution? what direction will water go? what happens to the cell? type of transport? Hypertonic out of cell shrink osmosis
A cell contains 89% water, if placed in solution of 0.9% salt what type of solution? what direction will water go? what happens to the cell? type of transport Hypotonic water into cell burst/swell osmosis
what type of molecule are transport would release neurotransmitters to signal a cell Exocytosis
What type of molecular transport involves bacteria being engulfed by macrophage cells? Phagocytosis
What type of molecular transport is used when mitochondria hydrogen ions are pumped across the inner membrane to establish a gradient that leads to ATP Active Transport
What is it called when ANIMAL cells lose large amounts of water and shrivel up Creation
What is it called when plant cells lose large amounts of water and the membrane pulls away plasmolysis
What is it called when ANIMAL cells gain so much energy that they rupture Cytolysis
Why don't plant cells rupture when placed in pure water They have a cell wall
What structure do plant cells have that keep them from rupturing They have a vacuole that fills and causes turgor pressure in leaves
What is turgor pressure? This pressure, created by water moving into the central vacuole through osmosis, makes the cell rigid
What molecular transport is used to move calcium in/out of cell? calcium pump
What molecular transport is used to move Oxygen in/out of cell? Simple diffusion
What molecular transport is used to move Water in/out of cell? Osmosis
What molecular transport is used to move Amino acids in/out of cell? Facilitated diffusion
What molecular transport is used to move proteins in a cell in/out of cell? Exocytosis
What molecular transport is used to move estrogen in/out of cell? simple diffusion cause fat
What molecular transport is used to move carbon dioxide in/out of cell? Simple diffusion
What molecular transport is used to move fatty acids in/out of cell? simple diffusion
What molecular transport is used to move enzymes out of salivary glands in/out of cell? exocytosis
What molecular transport is used to move the sodium potassium pump in/out of cell? active transport (goes against concentration gradient)
What are examples of passive transport osmosis, simple diffusion, diffusion(high to low), facilitated diffusion
What are examples of active transport sodium potassium pump, endocytosis, exocytosis
Explain passive transport Doesn't require any energy because molecules move down a concentration gradient, substances move from an area of high concentration to low concentration
What molecules are soluble to the phospholipid bilayer? nonpolar and lipid soluble molecules, fat soluble vitamins, gases, Their nonpolar nature allows them to dissolve in the hydrophobic, nonpolar lipid interior of the bilayer.
What molecules are not soluble to or able to cross the phospholipid bilayer polar molecules, charged ions, Polar and charged molecules are hydrophilic (water-loving) and are repelled by the hydrophobic interior, making it very difficult for them to pass through.
What's diffusion? A passive process of transport, a single substance moves from a high concentration to a low concentration area until equilibrium is reached ex) perfume
What factors affect the rate of diffusion? Temperature: Higher temperatures increase the kinetic energy of particles, speeds up diffusion. Concentration Gradient: A larger difference in concentration between two areas=faster rate of diffusion Higher solvent density decreases the rate of diffusio
What are solutes Dissolved substances
What is facilitated transport/diffusion Materials diffuse across the plasma membrane with the help of membrane proteins
What are the proteins responsible for facilitated diffusion Channel proteins and carrier proteins
What are aquaporins channel proteins that specifically facilitate the movement of water across cell membrane
What are open channel proteins Always open and allow ions to diffuse across the membrane freely
What are gated channel proteins Not always open, require a specific signal to open/close
What are carrier proteins integral membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of specific molecules across the cell membrane
What type of protein transport the quickest channel proteins
What is osmosis The net movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a higher solute
What is osmolarity water vs solute, the measure of solute concentration, defined as the number of osmosis of solute per liter of solution
What is a hypotonic solution solution with a lower solute concentration than another solution
What is a hypertonic solution solution with a higher solute concentration than another solution
what is an isotonic solution solution with the same concentration as another solution = no change
What is crenation When a cell shrinks
What is active transport moving molecules across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
What is the electrochemical gradient and how is it created the combined difference in concentration and electric charge across a biological membrane that drives ion movement. It is created by the unequal distribution of ions across a membrane,
Does active transport require energy Yes
sodium potassium pump a cellular mechanism that uses active transport to move ions across the cell membrane against their concentration gradients. three sodium (\(Na^{+}\)) ions out of the cell and two potassium (\(K^{+}\)) ions into the cell
what is co-transport Type of active transport where two substances are transported across a membrane by a single protein
Endocytosis cell takes in substances from the outside by engulfing them with its cell membrane, forming a vesicle
phagocytosis Cell eating, cell engulfs and ingests large particles, such as microorganisms and cell debris, through the formation of a membrane-bound vesicle called a phagosome
pinocytosis cell drinking, cell takes in fluids and dissolves small molecules by forming small vesicles
exocytosis A process for moving large molecules(proteins, waste products) out of the cell to the cell exterior.
