Document Summary

Turgid: hypertonic solution is plasmolyzed, leading to cell death. Isotonic solution is flaccid: some organisms adapted in hypotonic environments (low external solute conditions, paramecium: constantly lives in low solute concentrations, so contains contractile vacuole that continuously pumps water out to maintain size. If paramecium moved from hypotonic to isotonic environment, its contractile vacuole will immediately shrink because it no longer needs to fill with water to pump water out. Active transport: all proteins involved are carrier proteins: sodium-potassium pump, bind 3 na+ to pump from cytoplasmic side. Atp, changing its shape and reducing its sodium affinity, releasing sodium into the extracellular side. New shape of the pump has high affinity for potassium, which binds on extracellular side and triggers release of phosphate group. This release causes pump to change shape and reduce affinity for potassium. Cells lining blood vessels take in ldl through receptor interaction.
