Term
Class P ATPase Ion Pump
Definition
-2 different subunits, 4 total subunits
-Transports Na+, K+, H+, Ca++
-Hydrolyzes ATP
-Alpha subunit is phosphorylated
-Located in the plasma membrane
Term
Class V ATPase Ion Pump
Definition
-Minimum of 7 different subunits, min. of 13 total subunits
-Transports H+
-Hydrolyzes ATP
-Generates transmembrane H electrochemical gradient
-Located in plasma membrane of specific acid-secreting cells
Term
Class F ATPase Ion Pump
Definition
-Minimum of 8 different subunits, min of 15 total subunits
-Transports H+
-Does not hydrolyze ATP
-Located in inner mitochondrial membrane
Term
Channel
Definition
Protein pore through membrane that mediates a high rate of solute transfer/diffusion. Driven by electrochemical gradient.
Term
Transporter
Definition
Intrinsic protein that binds the transported solute & undergoes a conformational change that moves solutes to the other side of the membrane. Slower than channels.
Term
Facilitated diffusion
Definition
Driven by transported solute's concentration.
Term
Primary active transport
Definition
Driven by ATPase activity.
Term
Symport or cotransport (secondary active transport)
Definition
Gradient of one transported solute drives the transport of other solutes in the same direction.
Term
Antiport or countertransport
Definition
Gradient of one transported substance drives the transport of another in the opposite direction.
