no, water is polar and needs aquaporin

56
New cards

what does na/k pump do

uses atp to pump 3 na out of cell and 2 K+ into cell

57
New cards

what happens if sodium/potassium pump stops working

does not maintains a membrane potential

  • na+ increase inside the cell (no longer being pumped out)

  • K+ increase outside of the cell (no longer pumped back in)


58
New cards

why does the pump need atp

it moves na+ and k+ against their conc gradients

what happens if na isnt working

buildup in cell (no more removing it)

60
New cards

what happens if sodium channel is blocked

na movement across membrane decreases

61
New cards

if pump malfunctions

66
New cards

bulk transport

Large molecules, such as polysaccharides, lipids and proteins, cross the membrane via transport vesicles

67
New cards

bulk transport has two types of transport

endocytosis and exocytosis

68
New cards

endo, phagocytosis, pinocytosis

in: cells engulfs a vacuole, cell creates vesicle around fluid

69
New cards

receptor mediated endocytosis

receptor – protein on the surface of the membrane bind to ligands, ligand – anything can be a ligand) to bring in molecules, need to bind with them in order to bring them in  

70
New cards

exocytosis

Secretory cells: once insulin is produced, the vesicle will migrate to cell membrane, fuse with it, become part of it, and then release the protein out.
