    Study Notes

    Facilitated Diffusion

    • Requires carrier proteins to transport substances across cell membranes.
    • Occurs in either direction depending on the concentration gradient of the molecule, not restricted to one side.

    Osmosis

    • Defined as the movement of water molecules from an area of low solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
    • Osmolarity of red blood cells is approximately 300 mOsmoles.

    Membrane Permeability

    • Small nonpolar molecules pass through cell membranes more easily than small polar molecules.
    • Large polar molecules, like proteins, cannot diffuse easily through the membrane.

    Red Blood Cell Behavior

    • A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink due to water loss.
    • In isotonic solutions, red blood cells maintain a lozenge shape.
    • In hypotonic solutions, red blood cells undergo hemolysis and may burst.

    Sodium-Potassium Pump

    • Functions to transport sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell.
    • Powered by the hydrolysis of ATP.
    • During one cycle, it moves 3 Na+ ions out and 2 K+ ions into the cell.

    Ligands

    • A ligand is a small molecule that binds to a membrane-bound receptor, initiating a cellular response.

    Cellular Structures

    • Secretory products are processed and packaged into vesicles by the Golgi Complex.
    • Mitochondria use oxygen for cellular respiration.

    Solutions

    • A solution consists of a solute, which is dissolved by a solvent.

    Atomic Charge

    • An atom with 11 neutrons, 11 protons, and 12 electrons has a charge of -1 due to the excess of electrons.

    Energy Yield in Cellular Metabolism

    • One FADH2 yields 2 ATP when it enters the electron transport system.
