Document Summary

Biol 141 - lecture 14 - membrane transport. Low permeability: charged or large polar substances cross slowly, if at all. 4 factors that influence bilayer fluidity and permeability: Fatty acid saturation (number of c-c or c=c bonds) Unsaturated (kinky) or short fatty acids increase permeability. Low unsaturated fatty acid, the lower permeability, less fluid. Many unsaturated fatty acids, the higher permeability, more fluid. More thermal energy, makes its more fluid. Lower temperature=lowers fluidity and permeability/ high temperature=raises fluidity and permeability. Cholesterol: lowers bilayer, increase density as it packs and organizes the phospholipids. Diffusion random movement of molecules from regions of high concentrations to low concentrations. Low entropy/high order -> high entropy/less order. Only occurs across a selectively permeable membrane. Low solute (high concentration of water) to high solute (low concentration of water) The volume of water will change in order to have the same solute concentration on both sides.
