Membrane Transport Components:

Membrane Proteins - peripheral, integral, transmembrane

Glycoproteins and Glycolipids

Transport Proteins ((ion) channel proteins, (ion) carrier proteins)

Electrogenic Pump

Membrane Transportation - passive, active

simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, cotransport, endo- and exocytosis

Water Potential (Ψ bars)

Ψ = Ψp + Ψs

Ψp = 0 in open systems, otherwise given

Ψs = -iCRT

• i = ionization constant

• C = molar concentration (mol/liter)

• R = pressure constant (usually 0.0831 liter bars/mol °K)

• T = temperature (calvin = 273° + T°C °K)
