diffusion
substance in greater concentration on one side of a semipermeable membrane will move down concentration if it can
diffusion
O2 diffuses into cell because generally higher concentration is outside cell
diffusion
CO2 diffuses out of cell because generally more concentration is inside cell
crossing lipid bilayer
large polar or ionic molecules cannot easily cross bilayer
large polar or ionic molecules cannot easily cross bilayer
very small polar molecule (H2O) can diffuse due to size
crossing lipid bilayer
charge atoms or molecules of any cannot cross bilayer
charge atoms or molecules of any cannot cross bilayer
repelled by hydrophobic tails
crossing lipid bilayer
most solutes dissolved in H2O cannot pass freely through lipid bilayer
most solutes dissolved in H2O cannot pass freely through lipid bilayer
movement restricted to protein channels + specialized transport mechanisms
facilitated diffusion
process used for those substances that cannot cross due to size, charge, +/or polarity
facilitated diffusion
two “type”
1 type of facilitated diffusion
specialized carrier proteins transfer molecules into cell to facility its inward diffusion
2 type of facilitated diffusion
membrane proteins form channels or gateways so substances can move down their concentration gradient
osmosis
diffusion of H2O through a semipermeable membrane
isotonic
2 solutions have same concentration of solutes
isotonic
cells must maintain equal concentration of H2O inside + outside to function
hypertonic
solution with higher concentration of solutes
hypertonic
H2O tends to diffuse into
hypertonic
cells will shrivel as H2O leaves cell
hypotonic
solution with lower concentration of solutes
hypotonic
H2O tends to diffuse out
hypotonic
cells will swell + risk bursting
filtration
uses a hydrostatic pressure gradient to push fluid + solutes in from area of higher pressure to area of lower pressure
filtration
movement of plasma + substances out of capillaries + into surrounding tissue
filtration
mechanism that kidneys use to remove water from bloodstream
active transport
ATP needed to move substance across a membrane
active transport
often against its concentration gradient
active transport
often with help of protein “pumps”
active transport
through endocytosis (process of cell ingesting material)
sodium-potassium pump
maintains high concentration of sodium ion outside of cell
sodium-potassium pump
maintains electrical gradient
sodium-potassium pump
concentration of NA+ outside and K+ inside cell
sodium-potassium pump
difference in electrical charge across a space
cells need sodium ion
opens passive sodium channel
passive sodium channel
concentration gradient of sodium drives sodium into cell
endocytosis
process of cell ingesting material
endocytosis
material ingested is enveloped in a portion of cell membrane
endocytosis
material ingested becomes independent intracellular vesicle
phagocytes
large particles
pinocytes
fluid with dissolved substances
receptor-mediated endocytosis
portion of cell membrane with receptors for specific substance (ligand)
receptor-mediated endocytosis
cell membrane envelopes receptor-ligand complex
exocytosis
exporting material using vesicular transport
exocytosis
substances produce in cell package for transport
exocytosis
membrane-bound vesicles fuse with cell membrane
exocytosis
vesicle releases it contention into interstitial fluid
example of exocytosis
secretion of digestive enzymes
example of exocytosis
release of hormones
example of exocytosis
immune cells produce histamine
