permeability of membrane

- Selective - Molecule - Size - Nature (Polarity or Charge)

channel proteins

have a hydrophilic channel that certain molecules or ions can use as a tunnel

Secondary transport

low to high concentration, no, ATP required, protein transporter required, can transport, polar and charge molecules, potential energy in the form of electrochemical gradient

Osmolarity

measure of total concentration of solute particles

Microvilli

projections that increase the cell's surface area

facilitated diffusion

Very likely able to diffuse

Sodium Molecules

Very unlikely be able to diffuse

Solvent

symporter

A carrier protein that transports two molecules across the plasma membrane in the same direction. For example, the Na+-glucose cotransporter in intestinal cells is a symporter.

antiporter

A carrier protein that transports two molecules acrss the plasma membrane in opposite directions.

cell membrane

Concentration

A measurement of how much solute exists within a certain volume of solvent

Which protein(s) is a primary active transporter(s)?

ATPase

primary active transport

Active transport in which ATP is hydrolyzed, yielding the energy required to transport an ion or molecule against its concentration gradient.

Solute

An ion or molecule dissolve in a solvent

You are studying how a molecule called BD11 moves through the membrane of a red blood cell. Through some measurements, you observe the following:● BD11 is a large, polar molecule.● BD11 can move through the membrane in either direction.● BD11 always moves from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.● No ATP is required for BD11 to move through a membrane.● BD11 cannot pass through the membrane in the presence of a drug called FR14, but movement through the membrane resumes when the drug is removed. Based on these observations, BD11 is most likely transported by ________.

Carrier protein

A decrease in the area membrane would?

Decrease the rate of diffusion

Osmosis

Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane

secondary active transport

Form of active transport which does not use ATP as an energy source; rather, transport is coupled to ion diffusion down a concentration gradient established by primary active transport.

Doubling the area membrane would?

Increase the rate of net diffusion

Which statement best describes the difference between primary active transport and secondary active transport?

The answer is Primary active transport requires ATP, but secondary active transport requires an electrochemical gradient.

Carrier proteins transport molecules across the cell membrane by _________.

The answer is binding the molecule and changing shape to allow passage through the membrane

electrochemical gradient

The diffusion gradient of an ion, which is affected by both the concentration difference of an ion across a membrane (a chemical force) and the ion's tendency to move relative to the membrane potential (an electrical force).

Diffusion

The random movement of a particle and space caused by collisions with other particles

Villi

Tiny finger-shaped structures that cover the inner surface of the small intestine and provide a large surface area through which digested food is absorbed

Carrier protein

Transport protein that changes shape when a particle binds with it

phospholipid bilayer

a two-layered arrangement of phosphate and lipid molecules that form a cell membrane, the hydrophobic lipid ends facing inward and the hydrophilic phosphate ends facing outward.

concentration gradient

difference in the concentration of a substance from one location to another

Uncharged and small, partially charge molecules can?

diffuse directly through the membrane without transport proteins

active transport

the movement of materials through a cell membrane using energy

Charge molecules in large partially charge molecules need?

transport proteins

Temperature and Kinetic Energy
