Document Summary

Animal physiology lecture 7 electrochemical gradient. Equilibrium is the state the body aims to be at. Potential energy gradient contributes to this system. At different height the gravitational potential energy is different. Chemical and electric potential are important for animal physiology. Simple diffusion is molecules going from a high concentration to low concentration. Rate of diffusion is the different in concentration of a molecule from high to low. The inorganic ion outside of the cell are not equilibrium with the inorganic ion inside the cell. Cells have more potassium inside the cell while there is less potassium outside the cell but also more sodium and chlorine outside the cell. Fish"s salt concentration is different with that of the external environment, so it uses energy to come to that equilibrium. We can"t calculate the electro potential energy at any place, but the difference. The negative particle and positive particle would be attracted.
