Distinguish between the following pairs or sets of terms: peripheral and integral membrane proteins; channel and carrier proteins; osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and active transport; hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. Explain how an electrogenic pump creates voltage across a membrane, and name two electrogenic pumps. By the end of today"s lecture you should be able to: distinguish between the following pairs of terms: catabolic and anabolic pathways; kinetic and potential energy; open and closed systems; exergonic and endergonic reactions.
