52 views6 pages

Document Summary

Relative permeability of molecules: spectrum, some molecules move more quickly than others, oxygen moves quickly, charged ions, do not great across easily, low permeability coefficient because they are charged, 2. Gradients store potential energy: changes in voltage is potential energy, explains the driving of movement of ions, energy to move ions is stored in these gradients. Ion concentrations: cells sit in a very salty medium (extracellular space, protons there to maintain ph, cells are more acidic inside vs outside. Mechanisms of transport: 3 basic types of transport across the membrane, 1. Simple diffusion: high permeability coefficients, not charged, not polar, gases and water, 2. Passive transport: gradients and membrane proteins, ions and water, energy is stored in the gradients, 3. Active transport: utilization of atp, energy is transferred to cytosol and used to power these pumps, moves ions against its electrochemical gradient, lots of sodium outside the cell, need this to push sodium against its gradient.
