Question
Answer
All cells have a _________ __________ across the membrane.   resting potential  
🗑
What are the 4 factors that create the potential differences across a membrane?   cheical factors, membrane properties, electrical factors, and ionic pumps  
🗑
How does chemical factors play a role in membrane potential?   concentration differences in ions across the membrane creates concentration gradients  
🗑
How do membrane properties play a role in membrane potential?   the semi-permeability of membranes allows specific substances across the membrane, but not others  
🗑
How does electrical factors play a role in membrane potential?   ions have different charges and create electrical gradients across membranes  
🗑
How do ionic pumps play a role in membrane potential?   ionic pumps redistribute ions and charge across the membrane to keep gradients from degrading  
🗑
Define: diffusion   the net movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration  
🗑
Diffusion is a random _______ derived movement until solute is evenly distributed   thermally  
🗑
once even distribution is reached, net movement is ______.   zero  
🗑
larger molecules will move _________ and meet _______ resistance.   slower, more  
🗑
Define: permeability   how easily a solute can cross the membrane  
🗑
How could someone increase the diffusion across a membrane?   increase permeability, increase the area of the membrane, decrease the thickness  
🗑
What are the five factors that net diffusion depend on?   1. difference in solute concentration 2. permeability 3. thickness of the membrane 4. area of the membrane 5. molecular weight  
🗑
What is the equation for diffusion?   Q=DELTAC*P*A/MW* DELTA X  
🗑
What is the driving force for diffusion?   concentration gradient  
🗑
Define: osmosis   diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane along it's concentration gradient  
🗑
The presence of solutes _______ the concentration of water.   decreases  
🗑
What drives osmosis?   hydrostatic and osmotic pressure  
🗑
When does an osmotic system reach equilibrium?   when hydrostatic pressure counteracts the osmotic pressure  
🗑
Define: Tonicity   relationship between solute concentrations between compartments  
🗑
Nonelectrolytes such as glucose _______ dissociate.   do not  
🗑
Define: isotonic   same concentrations inside and outside the cell  
🗑
Define: hypotonic   less solute inside the cell (more water)  
🗑
Define: hypertonic   more solute inside the cell (less water)  
🗑
What are 4 key membrane properties of a cell?   1. channels for K+ diffusion 2. minimal Na+ diffusion 3. impermeable to proteins 4. unequal ion distribution  
🗑
The inside of the cell is typically _____.   negative  
🗑
The outside of the cell is typically ____.   positive  
🗑
How do ions move across the cell?   through specialized protein channels that are selective for a given ion  
🗑
What equation derives the equilibrium potential of an ion that is unequally distributed across a semipermeable membrane in relation to electrical and chemical forces?   ZFE=-2.3RTlog[ci/co]  
🗑
What component of the equilibrium equation is the elctrical force?   ZFE  
🗑
What component of the equilibrium equation is the chemical forces   2.3RTlog[ci/co]  
🗑
What is the nerst equation   E=61mV/z(logco/ci)  
🗑
What does the Na-K pump maintain?   ion gradiants  
🗑
Na-K pump functions by ______ transport.   active  
🗑
Na-K pump operates ______ [gradients]   against  
🗑
Na=K pumps are ______.   selective  
🗑
What can pumps be blocked by?   specific inhibitors  
🗑
What are membrane proteins composed of?   2 subunits  
🗑
What is the alpha subunit of membrane proteins?   catalytic subunit  
🗑
what is th beta subunit of membrane proteins?   glycoprotein  
🗑
What happens in the presence of Na+ ?   ATP binds to the catalytic subunit and the Na+ binds to the catalytic protein  
🗑
What happens after Na+ binds to the catalytic protein?   ATP is hydolyzed to ADP which induces a conformational change.  
🗑
What happens after ADP is hydrolyzed and the conformational change is induced?   Na+ is transported outward with a Mg2+ cofactor  
🗑
What happens in the presence of K+?   Pi is released from the catalytic subunit  
🗑
What happens after Pi is released form the catalytic subunit?   K+ is transported inward as the protein returns to it's original conformation  
🗑
What is the net exchange of charges in the Na-K pump?   +1 charge from inside  
🗑
for every ___ K+ in, __ Na+ out.   2, 3  
🗑
define: electrogenic   unequal idstribution of charge transported  
🗑
What is oubain?   competitive inhibitor of the k+ binding site  
🗑
