Document Summary
Lectures 5 & 6: plant mineral nutrition jan. 20 and 22. The topics covered in these lectures is based mostly on the material in chapter 5 (plant. Before reading this chapter, you may wish to review some key concepts related to membrane transport that are introduced in chapter 1 of the text book. In particular, you should review the section on selective permeability of lipid bi-layers (p. The section on membrane proteins, p. 13 - 15 provides some good background on the basic transport molecules that are used to move ions across the membrane. 1. 19, 1. 20 and 1. 22 give a nice overview of trans-membrane protein configurations. From prior classes, you should already be familiar with the concepts of facilitated diffusion via channel proteins (covered on p. 16), facilitated diffusion through carrier proteins (covered on p: and active transport by pumps (p. 18/19). The section on sodium - potassium pumps and secondary active transport will be covered later in the course.
