Document Summary

Lecture 6: membrane function, passive and active transport. Traffic across the plasma membrane which is selectively permeable. Both hypertonic and isotonic, there is a flow out of the cell. Hypotonic solution, there is flow into the cell. Tonicity: the ability of a solution to cause a cell to lose or gain water. Depends on the concentration of solutes that cannot cross across the membrane. Osmosis: diffusion of water across a permeable membrane. Polar molecule (water) cannot cross because membrane is hydrophobic. Direct passage through lipid bilayer: hydrophobic molecules like steroids, small hydrocarbons, nonpolar molecules, gases like oxygen, diffuse down the concentration gradient. Passage mediated by transport proteins: hydrophilic, charged ions, larger molecules, specific transport protein for each substance, passive or active, aquaporin = channel protein, carrier proteins change their shape. Co-transporter: gradient generated by one molecule drives active transport of another. Plants: gradient of h+ ions; protons diffuse back and sucrose travels with it.

18. A beaker of water is separated by a selectively permeable membrane that allows the passage of water but not ions. A solution of 4% sodium chloride (NaCl) is placed on one side of the membrane and pure water is placed on the other side of the membrane. The solutions are allowed to equilibrate. At this point, which process is going on? facilitated diffusion osmosis secondary active transport primary active transport
