#1
Front (Question)

active transport

Back (Answer)

• uses ATP to move substances against concentration gradient

#2
Front (Question)

primary active transport

Back (Answer)

• direct use of ATP • ex: sodium potassium pump

#3
Front (Question)

secondary active transport

Back (Answer)

when a cell uses energy that was already stored in an ion gradient (usually sodium). The cell does NOT use ATP directly, but it uses the gradient created by ATP. 1. symport - move in the same direction 2. antiport - move in opposite directions

#4
Front (Question)

endocytosis and exocytosis

Back (Answer)

• types of active transport using vesicles

#5
Front (Question)

channels

Back (Answer)

• are proteins that form pores for specific ions/molecules • move substances down concentration gradient (so passive) • they allow fast movement of ions and water

#6
Front (Question)

channel types

Back (Answer)

• aquaporins • ion Chanels - voltage gated - ligand gated - mechanically gated

#7
Front (Question)

aquaporins

Back (Answer)

• water channels for osmosis

#8
Front (Question)

voltage gated ion channel

Back (Answer)

open with electrical changes

#9
Front (Question)

ligand gated ion channel

Back (Answer)

open when something binds

#10
Front (Question)

mechanically gated ion channel

Back (Answer)

open when stretched or pushed

#11
Front (Question)

what is exocytosis

Back (Answer)

• vesicle fuses w membrane • releases content outside of cell

#12
Front (Question)

exocytosis is used for

Back (Answer)

• waste removal • sending out proteins/hormones • adding new membrane components

#13
Front (Question)

endocytosis

Back (Answer)

• cell brings material in by forming vesicles 1. pinocytosis 2. phagocytosis 3. receptor mediated endocytosis

#14
Front (Question)

pinocytosis

Back (Answer)

• cell drinking • takes in fluid + solutes • non specific

#15
Front (Question)

phagocytosis

Back (Answer)

• cell eating • takes in large particles (bacteria, cell debris) • used by immune cells

#16
Front (Question)

receptor mediated endocytosis

Back (Answer)

• highly specific • uses receptors to bring in certain molecules like LDL cholestrol

#17
Front (Question)

rough ER

Back (Answer)

• has ribosomes on the surface • makes proteins to be 1. exported from cell 2. inserted into the membrane 3. sent to organelles • sends proteins to Golgi for packaging

#18
Front (Question)

smooth ER

Back (Answer)

• no ribosome • makes lipids -detoxifies drugs • stores calcium (especially in muscle)

#19
Front (Question)

protein chain enters the ER

Back (Answer)

• it is folded and modified

#20
Front (Question)

if a protein misfolds

Back (Answer)

• it gets recycled

#21
Front (Question)

if enzymes in ER add carbohydrate groups

Back (Answer)

• the protein becomes a glycoprotein

#22
Front (Question)

mitochondria

Back (Answer)

• powerhouse because it makes ATP

#23
Front (Question)

mitochondria membranes

Back (Answer)

• outer membrane - barrier, contains porins (channels) • inner membrane - highly folded into cristae to increase surface area for ATP production

#24
Front (Question)

mitochondria intermembrane space

Back (Answer)

• space between outer and inner membranes • important for building the proton gradient used in ATP production
