Cards

Term
difference between bilayer and micell
Definition
Term
Compare the factors that affect lipid fluidity/rigidity
Definition

                   Fluid| Rigid

saturation:   unsat|sat

length          short|long 

T                 hot  | cold

chol.             depends

Term
Equation for change of energy of transport
Definition

ΔGt = RT ln(C2/C1)+ZFVm

 

ΔGt = Joules/mol

C1/C2 = concentrations (2 = destination, 1 = source)

ZFVm measures electric difference

Term
simple vs. facilitated diffusion
Definition

simple diffusion without (CO2 and O2 moving though cell membrane, not too polar and can diffuse quickly)

 

Is water moving though an aquaporon facilitated?

Term
water moves through:
Definition
aquaporons (facilitated diffusion)
Term
facilitated has 2 types:
Definition

Channels and Transporters

Channels can't get saturated, things just flow through

Transporters move one by one, like a revolving door. They can get saturated.

Term
primary active transport
Definition
uses ATP to move solutes through a membrane protein
Term
secondary active transport
Definition

Couples the movement of one solute with the movement of another. Uses the energy of one to power the movement of another. 

Example: glucose sodium transporter

Term
When is movement of solute costing energy?
Definition

When C1>C2
