|
|
Term
Explain the Similarities and Differences between Simple Diffusion and Osmosis. |
|
Definition
Simple Diffusion is the movement of non-polar substances from high to low concentration. Osmosis is only the diffusion of water, and it must be through a semi-permeable membrane!! |
|
|
Term
How is Simple Diffusion different from Facilitated Diffusion? |
|
Definition
They are both moving along the concentration gradient, but Facilated Diffusion is only utilized by polar substances, that require a protein carrier. |
|
|
Term
Differentiate between Facilitated Diffusion and Active Transport. |
|
Definition
They are both carrier-mediated, meaning that they transport substances via protein carriers. Only Active Transport requires ATP because it is moving AGAINST the concentration gradient. |

Term
Differences between Primary and Secondary AT |
|
Definition
Primary AT uses ATP directly Secondary AT allows a molecule to move against its concentration gradient by binding to a molecule that is moving along it's own concentration gradient |

Term
Regulation of Water in Plasma by ADH |
|
Definition
An increase in plasma osmolality, due to dehydration, stimulates thirst and increased ADH secretion from the posterior pituitary. This causes the person to drink more and urinate less, which increases the blood volume and decreases plasma osmolality. This helps restore normal blood volume and completes the negative feedback loop. |

4 Functions of the Na+/K+ Pump |
|
Definition
Osmoregulation Regulates BMR Help create RMP Coupled Transport |
|
|
Term
Explain how the Na/K Pump functions in Coupled Transport. |
|
Definition
The energy needed for a molecule or ion to move against its concentration gradient is powered by attachment to the Na+ ion as it moves along its concentration gradient, back into the cell |
|
|
Term
Role of Na/K Pump in Maintaining the RMP (resting membrane potential) |
|
Definition
In maintenance of the RMP, 3 Na+ are transported out of the cell for every 2 K+ that are brought in, contributing the the negative intracellular charge (or difference in charges). |
|
|
Term
How does the Na/K pump contribute to the BMR (basal metabolic rate) |

How does the Na/K pump function in osmoregulation? |

|
|
Term
What contributes to the formation of the RMP? |
|
Definition
Non-diffusable negatively charged phosphate groups of RNA are trapped inside the cell causes the intracellular charge to be negative, and the high Na+ concentration outside of the cell causes the extracellular charge to be positive. |
|
|
Term
|
