ZOO 3210 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Osmosis, Membrane Potential, Peter Agre
Document Summary
Page 14 of lecture 4 notes has a chart on it that you"ll need to know apparently every cell maintains concentrations of inorganic solutes inside the cell that are very different from those outside types of membrane transport. 2. active: requires no energy direction of solute movement: [high] to [low] requires atp direction of solute movement: [low] to [high] types of passive transport: Page 16 has a few types of membrane transport drawn out the kinetics of facilitated transport the saturation kinetics of facilitated transporters follows a hyperbolic relationship, i. e. michaelis-menten kinetics. Page 18 has a few illustrations of membrane transporters discovery of aquaporins. Peter agre won the nobel prize in chemistry (2003) for his discovery of the water channel, i. e. aquaporins (aqp) achievements: determined dna and amino acid sequences of the water channel aqp1 used . Peter agre and his team investigated the properties of laevis oocytes microinjected with the rna that codes for the protein.
