Structure of Plasma Membrane
Transport proteins
Channel proteins
Only molecules with certain sizes, shape and charge can pass through
Non-gated ion channels always open
Gated ion channels open or closed by certain stimuli
Carrier protein
Specific binding sites
Uniport, symport, antiport
ATP powered transport
Requires ATP
Transport against conc. Gradient
E.g. Sodium potassium pump
Diffusion and Osmosis
Solute: Dissolved substance in a solution, e.g. glucose, sucrose, ions (Na+, K+, Cl-)
Solvent: Liquid that holds solutes Generally water

Document Summary

Diffusion and osmosis: solute: dissolved substance in a solution, e. g. glucose, sucrose, ions (na+, k+, cl-, solvent: liquid that holds solutes generally water, solution: mixture formed when solute dissolved in solvent, osmosis. The movement of lipid soluble molecules/ions from an area of higher conc. to an area of lower conc. The movement of water molecules from an area of higher conc. to an area of lower conc. across a semipermeable membrane. The movement of substance from an area of low conc. to an area of high conc. which requires energy. The movement of water soluble molecules from an area of higher conc. to an area of lower conc. by channels and carrier proteins. Lipid soluble molecules & ions e. g. gases, hormones. Ions (na+ & k+), sugars (glucose), amino acids. Water soluble & electrically charged molecules e. g. amino acids. Where large molecules broken down to smaller molecules: anabolism. Where small molecules joined to form larger molecules: 3 stages, glycolysis.
