Flashcards for transport across membranes


AB
OsmosisWater moves down water concentration gradient
OsmosisMembrane must be permeable to solvent/impermeable to solute
PassiveOsmosis--active or passive?
Simple diffusionCan occur with or without a membrane involved
PassiveSimple diffusion--active or passive?
Simple diffusionCan occur through the phospholipid bilayer
Simple diffusionMay occur through a channel protein
Lipid-soluble substanceWhich is(are) likely to diffuse through the bilayer--lipid-soluble substance, ion, polar molecule?
Ions and polar moleculesWhich is(are) likely to require a channel protein for diffusion--lipid-soluble substance, ion, polar molecule?
FalseTrue or false--channel proteins change shape as they transport their substance.
False--many are gated.True or false--all channel proteins are always open.
TrueTrue or false--channel proteins are specific to one substance.
Facilitated diffusionWhich means of transport is passive and requires a transporter protein?
TrueTrue or false--facilitated diffusion transporters change shape as they transport their substance.
False--they are specific to one substance.True or false--each facilitated diffusion transporter is able to transport a variety of substances.
TrueTrue or false--facilitated diffusion can move a substance only down its concentration gradient.
FalseTrue or false--energy from ATP is required to change the shape of a facilitated diffusion transporter.
Active transportThe process that requires a transporter protein and also direct energy from ATP is ____.
TrueTrue or false--transporter proteins change shape due to energy from ATP in active transport.
Against or up--from lesser concentration to greater concentration.Active transport can move a substance ____ its concentration gradient.
PumpsTransporter proteins in active transport are often called ___.
EndocytosisAny process that brings a substance into a cell sealed in a vesicle is called ___.
PhagocytosisCell eating.
PhagocytosisProcess that could bring in a bacterium, sealed inside a vesicle.
PinocytosisCell drinking
PinocytosisBrings in a liquid droplet, sealed inside a vesicle.
Receptor-mediated endocytosisBrings in specific ligands, sealed inside a vesicle
Receptor-mediated endocytosisEndocytosis that requires specific receptors
Receptor-mediated endocytosisClathrin proteins are necessary for this process
ExocytosisSubstance is sealed in a vesicle and transported to the plasma membrane, then released to the outside
Water (only)Examples of substances that move by osmosis
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, steroids, water, fat-soluble vitamins--all of these are lipid-soluble except waterExamples of substances that move by simple diffusion through the phospholipid bilayer
Ions and waterExamples of substances that diffuse through protein channels
Glucose, fructose, galactose, some vitaminsExamples of substances that move by facilitated diffusion
Ions (usually because they need to go against the concentration gradient), also some polar or charged solutesExamples of substances that move by active transport
Specific ligands that are usually large molecules--some vitamins, some hormones, cholesterol, ironExamples of substances that move by receptor-mediated endocytosis
Solid particles such as bacteria and worn-out red blood cellsExamples of substances that move by phagocytosis
Liquid droplets containing solutes dissolved in the fluid outside the cellExamples of substances that move by pinocytosis
Neurotransmitters; hormones; digestive enzymesExamples of substances that move by exocytosis
White blood cellsOnly cells that do phagocytosis in human body
