phospholipid structure
Hydrophillic head that attracts water, hydrophobic tail that repels water,
1 of 16
Cholesterol structure
Gives membrane stability, cholesterol binds to hydrophobic tails, less fluid more rigid
2 of 16
Temperatures below 0'c in membranes?
No energy, rigid membranes, channel+ carrier protiens denature, ice crystals= more permeable
3 of 16
Temperatures between 0 and 45'c in membranes?
can move around, partially permeable
4 of 16
Temperatures above 45'c in membranes?
Bilayer starts to melt=more permable/ water expands
5 of 16
what is diffusion?
Movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to area of lower concentration. Through a partially permeable membrane
6 of 16
Factors effecting rate of diffusion?
Concentration gradient, thickness of exchange surface, surface area
7 of 16
Faciliated diffusion description (carrier protiens)?
move large molecules across membrane down concentration gradient, large molecule attraches to protien it changes shape, releases molecule at opposite end of membrane
8 of 16
Facilitated diffusion (channel protiens)?
form pores in membrane for charged particles to diffuse through, different channel protiens faciliate different particles.
9 of 16
Factors effecting the rate of facilitated diffusion?
Concentration gradient, Number of channel/ carrier protiens
10 of 16
What is osmosis?
Diffusion of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane, from an area of high to low water potential
11 of 16
Factors affecting the rate of osmosis?
Water potential gradient, Thickness of exchange surface, The surface area of exchange surface
12 of 16
Active transport description (carrier protiens)?
ATP undergoes hydrolysis reaction, splitting into ADP and Pi.
13 of 16
Active transport description (co- transporters)?
Type of carrier protien, Bind two molecules, one move, Other against concentration gradient
14 of 16
Co- transport and aborption of glucose step one?
1. Sodium ions activly transported out of epithelial cell into illeum by sodium potassium pump, Creates concentration gradient
15 of 16
Co- transport and absoption of glucose steps 2 and 3?
2. Sodium ions diffuse from lumen of ileum into epithelial cell, down concentration gradient, 3. Glucose diffuses out cell into blood by facilitated diffusion
