New cards
40

where is GLUT5 found

small intestine

New cards
41

what prevents glucose from leaving the cell

gets phosphorylated the second it enters the cell, no longer recognized by the transporter and cannot diffue back

New cards
42

what is the normal concentration of glucose in the blood stream

4-5 mM

New cards
43

what stimulates GLUT4 and what does that cause

insulin, increases the rate of glucose uptake into muscle and adipose tissue when glucose concentrations are high

New cards
44

t or f - GLUT1 is found in the same amount in all cells

false, present only in small amounts in nuscle and adipose tissue

New cards
45

how does insulin stimulate and adipose cells to take up cells

  1. GLUT4 stored within cell in membrane vesicles (not usually on cell surface)

  2. insulin binds the insulin receptor on the surface of the myocyte/adipocyte

  3. when insulin binds with its receptor, vesicles move to the surface and fuse with the plasma membrane, increasing the number of glucose transporters in the plasma membrane

  4. when insulin levels drop, glucose transporters are removed from the plasma membrane by endocytosis, forming small vesicles

  5. smaller vesicles fuse with larger endosome

  6. patches of the endosome enriched with glucose transporters bud off to become small vesicles, ready to return to the surface when insulin levels rise again

New cards
46

what would the consequences be if insulin were absent in an individual?

  • glucose can bind non enzymatically to proteins

  • messes protein function up

  • causes various problems through out the body

New cards
47

idirect/secondary transport

where direct active ttransport set up one of the gradients

New cards
48

coupled transport

another way to describe indirect active transport - links the uphill transport (against its gradient) of one solute across a membrane to the downhill (with its gradient) of another

New cards
49

what types of proteins participate in coupled transport

antiporters and symporters

New cards
50

direct active transport

requires “pumps” that selectively bind and move the solute across a membrane driven by changes in the proteins conformation

New cards
51

what must the movement against a []gradient be linked to in direct active transport

an exergonic reaction liike ATP hydrolysis

New cards
52

what type of ATP driven pump do we focus on this class and why is it ccalled that

p-class pumps, directly phophorylated

New cards
53

4 types of ATP driven driven pumps

  • p-class pumps

  • v-class proton pumps

  • f-class proton pumps

  • ABC superfamily

New cards
54

example of a p-class pump in out body, v important, think of the brain

Na+/K+ ATPase

New cards
55

what does the Na+/K+ ATPase do

maintains the membrane potential

New cards
56

how does the Na+/K+ ATPase work (steps)

  1. 3 Na+ bind

  2. pump phosphorylates itself, hydrolyzing ATP

  3. phosphorylation triggers a conformational change and 3 Na+ is ejected

  4. 2 K+ binds

  5. pump dephosphorylates itself

  6. oumo returns to original conformation and 2 K+ are ejected

New cards
57

what do Ca 2+ pumps do

keep intracellular Ca2+ concentrations low, p class pumps, unidirectional

New cards
58

sarcoplasmic reticulum

specialized type of ER that forms a network of tubular sacs in the cytosol of muscle cells and serves as an intracellular store of calcium (involved in muscle contraction)

New cards
59

what direction does the Ca2+ pump pump

unidirectional - from cytosol to lumen of SR

New cards
60

what else is intracellular calcium important for

signal transduction

New cards
61

antiporter vs symporter

  • both transport 2 (/2 types of) molecules, one against its gradient and the other with its gradient

  • both rely on direct active transport to establish a gradient that can be used

  • symporter

    • transports both molecules in the same direction

  • antiporter

    • transports the two molecules in opposite directions

New cards
62

are intestinal lumen concentrations of glucose higher or lower than the blood stream

in blood the glucose levels are lower because the blood contains a lot more water, thus waters the glucose down

New cards
63

could glucose get into intestinal cells via a glucose uniporter

no, the glucose concentration is higher in the intestinal cells due to the action of the symporter on the apical membrane, so glucose would diffuse down its gradient (from the intestinal cell to te bloodstream or gut lumen)

New cards
64

is extracellular concentration of Na+ or lower than intracellular and why?

it is higher due to the action of the Na+/K+ ATPases that are present on the apical and basal membranes

New cards
65

how does glucose get transported from the gut lumen to the bloodstream

  1. Na+/K+ ATPases on the apical membrane establish a Na+ gradient

  2. symporter transports a glucose and Na+ into the intestinal cell (energy derived from the Na+ gradient)

  3. glucose diffuses passively into the blood stream through a uniporter in the basal membrane

  4. excess Na+ ions are removed via Na+/K+ ATPases to maintain the gradient

New cards
66

role of tight junctions in the process of glucose uptake from the intestine?

stopping the glucose from directly diffusing into the bloodstream which allows for tighter control on blood glucose levels

New cards
67

ion chennels selectivity and directionality, what do they allow

  • selective

  • bidirectional

  • allow diffusion in the direction of the electrochemical gradient

New cards
68

different types of stimuli that influence the opening and closing of ion channels

  • mechanically gated

  • ligand gated

  • voltage gated

New cards
69

mechanically gated ion channel definition and example

  • conformational state depends on mechanical forces (like stretch tension) that are apllied to the membrane

  • ex. auditory hair cells in the ear

New cards
70

ligand gated ion channel definition and example

  • conformational state depends on the binding of specific molecules (ligand) and can be open or closed upon ligand binding

  • ex. acetylcholine receptor

New cards
71

voltage gated ion channel definition and example

  • conformational state deoends on the difference in ionic charge on the two sides of the membrane

  • ex. sodium and potassium channels that depolarize and repolarize membranes

New cards
72

what happens when K+ enters its ion chennel

loses it water if hydration (bound water) in the selectivity filter section of the channel and become coordinated to channel carbonyl oxygens

New cards
73

Na+ vs K+ in ion channels and how that effects selectivity

Na+ is smaller than K+ and thus cannot coordinate as well as K+ can with the oxygen atoms in the channel, this means K+ passes through the channel more

<p>Na+ is smaller than K+ and thus cannot coordinate as well as K+ can with the oxygen atoms in the channel, this means K+ passes through the channel more</p>
New cards
74

how does water move across membranes (2)

  • simple diffusion - takes a long time

  • aquaporins (faster)

New cards
75

aquaporins

specialized channels for water transport

New cards
76

describ ethe structure of aquaporins

one face includes a series of hydrophobic amino acids that transiently form hydrogen bonds with individuals water molecules as they move single file through the channe;, so narrow that ions that are hydrated cannot pass through, only singluar water molecules

<p>one face includes a series of hydrophobic amino acids that transiently form hydrogen bonds with individuals water molecules as they move single file through the channe;, so narrow that ions that are hydrated cannot pass through, only singluar water molecules </p>
