Document Summary

Chapter 5 cell membrane structure and function 9/25/2013 5:31. Osmosis is the passive transport of water: osmosis is the diffusion of water across a differentially permeable membrane, influenced by factors which govern diffusion. Water move toward an area of higher solute concentration: to dilute that area. Test question: the inside of the cell is hypertonic to the outside of the cell: draw cell with more concentration on inside than the outside, water will leave cell and it will shrivel up and weigh less. Question: the salt concentration of the fluid surrounding a cell is more concentrated than the fluid inside the cell. Energy-requiring transport across membranes: cells need to move molecules against a concentration gradient (from low concentration to high concentration, doing this requires energy because it"s fighting diffusion, (like pumping water uphill) (rolling ball up a hill) Depression medications: most medications, such as prozac, are ssr"s. Re-uptake inhibitors : serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
