Document Summary

Driven by conc gradient but helped along by channel protein. A variety of small molecules that can(cid:859)t go through membrane due to a charge etc. Things like glucose and ions> small but charged so can(cid:859)t go through hydrophobic layer. It is saturable> system can be saturated depending on number of proteins on the membrane. Channels let ions through but we also have ions moving through with energy: example is sodium potassium pump. Used to pump na+ out of the cell against a concentration gradient> requires atp. Once the shape has changed it spits out sodium and allows potassium to dock so the. The(cid:396)e(cid:859)s a (cid:272)ha(cid:374)ge i(cid:374) p(cid:396)otei(cid:374) shape a(cid:374)d (cid:396)elease of atp potassium moves in without energy required. 3na and 2k for 1atp the molecule changes conformation allowing k+ to bind the k+ binds the k+ is imported passively the cycle resumes.
