Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.

The rate at which the Na+K+ pump operates is not constant but is controlled by a combined effect of changes in ICF Na+ concentration and ECF K+ concentration. Do you think the changes in both ICF Na+ and ECF K+ concentration following a series of action potentials in a neuron would accelerate, slow down, or have no effect on the Na+K+ pumps in this cell?

"Transporters saturate at high concentrations of the transported molecule when all their binding sites are occupied; channels, on the other hand, do not bind the ions they transport and thus the flux of ions through a channel does not saturate." is true or false.
"Transport by transporters can be either active or passive, whereas transport by channels is always passive" is true or false.

A secondary active transport protein gets its energy by binding and splitting a molecule of ATP. True False
True or False: Passive-mediated transport proteins lower the delta G of transport to create the movement of molecules or ions.
The Na+/glucose Cotransporter The active transport of glucose is mediated by the Na+/glucose cotransporter. This is a symporter; that is, both the sodium ion and the glucose molecule are passing through the membrane in the same direction: sodium DOWN its gradient of about 140 mM outside to 10 mM inside while glucose is going UP its gradient (0.005 mM -> 5 mM) T=37oC and Vm = -70 mV CALCULATE THE ΔGin for Na+ (show work) – and is this enough energy to move glucose in? Or do you need to move 2 Na+ in for each glucose co-transported in? Explain
One of the principle symptoms of diabetes is high urine output and is caused by high levels of glucose in the urine. What principle best explains this? depolarization. diffusion. active transport osmosis all of these
In contrast to transporters and carriers, channels: O Are selective for the specific solutes (e.g., ions) they transport Require solutes (e.g., ions) to bind to them in order to be transported O Create pores through the membrane Saturate after reaching the maximum rate of transport
The movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concnetration is called _________ osmosis diffusion solubility gradient
difference between channels and transporters is that O Only channels allow for the passage of solutes against their electrochemical gradient. OTransporters allow for a greater rate of transport across a membrane than channels do. O Only channels allow for the transport of ions. Transporters must undergo a conformational change upon binding to the solute.
