4920287214Simple Diffusion-movement from high to low concentration -passive transport -no energy needed -Example: osmosis17
4920287215Facilitated Diffusion-requires protein channels -protein assists in larger and polar molecules to cross membrane -specific molecules can move across the cell membrane -no energy needed -passive transport18
4920287216Active Transport-movement from low to high concentration -requires energy -Examples: proton pumps, sucrose co-transport, sodium potassium pump, bulk transport19
4920287218Water Potential Equation-Pressure potential (Ψp): pressure exerted that limits further water uptake -Solute potential (Ψs): effect of solute concentration20
4920287219Solute Potential-effect of solute concentration -Solute potential (Ψs) = −iCRT -i = number of particles the molecule will make in water -C = Molar concentration -R = Pressure constant = 0.0831 liter bar/mole K -T = Temperature in degrees Kelvin = 273 + °C -pure water at atmospheric pressure has a solute potential of zero -as solute is added, the value for solute potential becomes more negative and causes water potential to decrease and water will tend to move into the solution21
4920287220Enzymes-reduce activation energy -very specific -catalyze reactions -help best align substrates -end in -ase -remains unchanged and can be used over and over22
4920287224Factors that Affect Enzymes-cofactors and coenzymes: assist the enzyme -temperature: enzymes have an optimal temperature where they have the highest productivity -enzyme concentration: as enzyme increases, the reaction rate increases as long as substrate is available -substrate concentration: as substrate increases, reaction rate increases as long as enzyme is available -pH: enzymes have an optimal pH where they have the highest productivity -salinity: enzymes have an optimal salt level where they have the highest productivity -inhibitors: molecules that reduce enzyme activity23
4920287225Competitive Inhibition-interacts with active site -increases substrate to overcome -Example: penicillin24
4920287226Non-Competitive Inhibition-distorts active site -Example: anti-cancer drugs and cyanide poisoning25
4920287227Allosteric Regulation-the binding of a regulatory molecule to a protein at one site that affects the function of the protein at a different site26
4920287229Describe the fluidity of the components of a cell membrane and explain how membrane fluidity is influenced by temperature and membrane composition.-membranes must be fluid to work properly -saturated fats make it stiff because they are solid at room temperature -unsaturated fats help it bend, allowing the cell to work better since the fats are liquid at room temperature -the cell membrane remains fluid as temperature increases and becomes solid as temperature decreases27
4920287230Define diffusion. Explain why diffusion is a passive and spontaneous process.-diffusion is the movement of a substance across a concentration gradient due to random motion -it is spontaneous because one solute is unaffected by the concentration gradient of other solutes -it is passive because the cell does not expend energy when substances diffuse down their concentration gradient28
4920287231Distinguish between exocytosis and receptor mediated endocytosis.-exocytosis: secretion of molecules by the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane -endocytosis: taking in of molecules by forming new vesicles from the plasma membrane -receptor mediated endocytosis: taking in of cholesterol for synthesis of membranes29
4920287232Describe the function of enzymes in biological systems.-act as catalysts that speed up reactions -act as proteins that regulate metabolism30
4920287235Dialysis Lab-purpose: to understand the effect of solute concentration on the water potential in plant cells -as molarity of solution increases, more water diffuses into the solution and the percent change in mass increases -we calculate percent change in mass rather than simply the change in mass because it is much easier to compare the proportion of change when it is in percent form. Looking at the difference in mass alone does not allow us to compare the proportion of change because the initial mass and the final mass may be different.31
4920287236Potato Lab-purpose: to determine the molarity and water potential of potatoes by measuring the percent change in mass of the potato -as molarity of solution increased, the percent change in mass of the potato decreased because water diffused out -the molarity of the potato is about .25 M32
4920287238Predict the effect that lowering the temperature would have on enzyme activity.-lowering the temperature on the experiment would cause the rate of reaction to decrease because the system will no longer be in the optimal temperature -at higher temperatures, there are more molecular collisions and therefore more enzymatic reactions -decreasing the temperature will decrease the number of molecular collisions and therefore there will be fewer enzymatic reactions33
