passive transport

1 / 80

81 Terms

1

passive transport

does not require energy because it moves with the concentration gradient, (high to low)

New cards
2

active transport

requires energy, goes from low to high concentration so against the concentration gradient

New cards
3

diffusion

molecules move from more (high) to less(low) concentrated area until equilibirium is reached, small nonpolar molecules

New cards
4

osmosis

diffusion of water through a selectivly permeable membrane

New cards
5

osmotic pressure

pressure due to water

New cards
6

facilitated diffusion

diffusion with the help of carrier/channel proteins aka selective transport, hydrophilic and ions t pass through membrane

New cards
7

ex of passive transport

diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion (selective transport)

New cards
8

ex of active transport

sodium pottasium pump, proton pump, exocytosis, endocytosis

New cards
9

exocytosis

large molecules transported out, vesicle fuses with cell membrane

New cards
10

endocytosis

large molecules transported in, vesicle forms from cell membrane

New cards
11

invaginating

the cell membane pushing into the cell to accept the molecule (in exocytosis and endocytosis)

New cards
12

pinocytosis

cell drinking, molecules takeninto cell wall with large amounts of liquid with it

New cards
13

phagocytosis

solid molecules taken in by cell (bacteria engulfed by white blood cells)

New cards
14

receptor mediated endocytosis

receptor proteins figure out the need the molecules floating around and they attach to the recpetor protein and are brought intot he cell through endocytosis

New cards
15

passive transport can be

both directions in and out of the cell

New cards
16

active transport is goes only 1 way because

cells smart why spend energy bringing it in or pushing it out j to do the opposite and spend more energy

New cards
17

voltage channel proteins

sensing electrical signals, how nerve cells communicate

New cards
18

chemical channel proteins

sensing chemical signals, ex. liver cells sensing blood glucoe levels high so they open channel proteins

New cards
19

cell size doesnt change bc of movement of solute but because of

movement of water

New cards
20

water always moves

high water to low water

low solute to high solute

New cards
21

$100(atm)→$1000(bank)→$50000(savings)

atp→carbs→lipids

New cards
22

the 1-2 phosphate bond is

the highest energy bond so it breaks causing atp to change to adp when energy is needed

New cards
23

atp and adp have a

reversible process changing back and forth based on whats needed

New cards
24

enzymes are

biocatalysts

New cards
25

endergonic

energy being absorbed from enviornment, (endothermic with thermal energy)

New cards
26

exergonic

energy being released (exothermic with thermal energy)

New cards
27

subrate saturation is where

the reaction time plateus and no longer increases because the solution is saturated with subrates and adding more will no longer increase reaction rate

New cards
28

catalytic site is also

the active site

New cards
29

allosteric enzymes

have an active site and then an allosteric site where teh product of the active site fits and then after the reaction happens in the allosteric sit ehte active site changes shape so that the enzyme is inactive, when all of the product is used up the enzyme becomes active again and changes the shape of the active site back to what the subrate fits into

New cards
30

biochemical pathway

a→b

b→c

c→d

d→e

if b→c stops working them the chain of reactions stops happening and the biochem pathway goes away and there will be excess b but not c,d, or e

b,c,d are intermediates while a is the reactant and e is the product

New cards
31

multienzyme complex

multiple enzymes working on biochem pathway

New cards
32

cooperativity-process

1 ezyme with mulitple active sites that does the entire biochem pathway

New cards
33

contratransport

secondary active transport, uses energy from electrochemical gradient, transport 2 diff ions across membrane through proteins

New cards
34

symport

2 diff ions same direction

New cards
35

antiport

2 diff ions diff directions

New cards
36

membranes can become ______________ from ions

polarized

New cards
37

electrochemical gradient

type of concentration gradient, electrical difference across membrane

New cards
38

electrical potential

electrical potential diff(voltage) across membrane

New cards
39

osmolarity

total solute concentration

New cards
40

aquaporins

help large quantities of water move via aquaporins

New cards
41

tonicity

mesaurement of the relative concentrations of solute b/w 2 solutions (inside and outside of cell)

New cards
42

hypertonic

more solute less solvent

New cards
43

hypotonic

less solute more solvent

New cards
44

enviornmental hypertonicity

cell shrinks

New cards
45

enviornemental hypotonicity

cell swell

New cards
46

lyses

when cell bursts

New cards
47

water potential

tendency water to move through osmosis

New cards
48

small amounts of polar molecules can

pass through the membrane

New cards
49

endosymbiosis

free living aerobic prokaryote engulfed by anaerobic cell through endocytosis but it didnt get ingested and it eventually lost its independence, origin of mitocondria and chloroplast, they both have double membrane and their own copies of dna and ribosomes

New cards
50

origin of er and nuclues

plasma membrane folding

New cards
51

activation energy

intial starting energy, lowered by enzymes

New cards
52

net releases

typically require less activation energy

New cards
53

net absorption

typically require more

New cards
54

conformational shape

tertiary shape

New cards
55

why does reaction rate increase

  • inreased speed of molecular movement

  • increased frequency of enzyme subtrate collisions

New cards
56

decrease in temperature does not denature but instead

decreases reaction time bc less substrate enzymes collisions

New cards
57

enzymes do denature due to increase or decrease in

pH

New cards
58

why does the reaction rate plateu once the concentration is saturated with substrates

themore subrate the more product and once there isalot of product it takes up space so lower chance of enzyme substrate collion

New cards
59

competetive inhibitor

molecules can bind reversibly or irrversibly to the active site of the enzymes, competes with the normal substrate for enzymes active site

New cards
60

what happens if the competetive inhibitors outnumber the substrates

the reactions are slow

New cards
61

if inhibitor binding is irreversile then

the enzymes function is prevented

New cards
62

noncompetetive inhibitors

bind to allosteric site, not active site which causes the enzyme to change shape of the original active site preventing enzyme function

New cards
63

autotrophs capture energy from

physical or chemical sources that are changed into somthing usable

New cards
64

2nd law of thermodynamics

  • every energy transfer increases disorder

  • living cells are never at equilibrium there is always a constant flow of materials in and out

  • cells manage energy resources by energy coupling, energy releasing processes drive energy storing processes

New cards
65

cofactors

inorganic nonprotein helpers (Fe, Zn, Cu)

New cards
66

coenzymes

organic helpers (vitamins)

New cards
67

first law of thermodymanics

energy can neither be created nor destroyed only changed

New cards
68

if the cell needs some of the sodium it pushed out using active transport and a sodium pottassium pump then it will

use couled channel proteins to bring it back in using facilited diffusion

New cards
69

chemiosmosis

chem energy from transport, cell wont spend energy to bring back protons diffuse back in with atp

New cards
70

flaccid

plant cell in isotonic solution

New cards
71

turgid

plant cell in hypotonic solution but doesnt lyse or burst bc of cell wall (turgor pressure)

New cards
72

cells are usually in ________ solute of NaCl so thats whats pumped into u when ur dehyrdated

0.851, (saline)

New cards
73

root pressure

how water is forced up xylem

New cards
74

transpiration

water loss through xylem

New cards
75

trasnlocation

transport of sugar through the phloem

New cards
76

guttation

small drops of sap (water and minerals) ooze from the leaf tip due to root pressure

New cards
77

cuticle

helps prevent water loss, small hair on leaf and leaf surface

New cards
78

what controls the opening of the stoma

guard cells
