BIOL 1202 Chapter : Chpt 36
Document Summary
Plasma membrane controls movement of solutes into and out of the cell. Transport proteins: integral membrane proteins that carry out transport. Transport of water and solutes by individual cells. Short-distance transport of substances from cell to cell at the level of tissues and organs. Long-distance transport (bulk ow) within xylem and phloem. Chapter 36: resource acquisition and transport in vascular plants. Transport in vascular plants occurs on three scales. Osmosis: the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. Concept 36. 2: transport occurs by short-distance diffusion or active transport or by long- distance bulk ow. Transport of many solutes driven by proton gradients. Cotransport: transport proteins couple passage of one solute with passage of another. Solute potential: proportional to concentration of dissolved molecutes. Create a h+ gradient that is a form of potential energy. Helps produce a voltage known as a membrane potential.
