Term
Aquaporin
Definition
Another name for a water channel is
Term
Bulkflow
Definition
in this type of transpire, fluid moves from a place of high to low pressure
Term
simple diffusion
Definition
ions move through channels by this passive process
Term
gated
Definition
some channels require a specific stimulus to make them open or close, so they are reffered to as---- channels
Term
selective permeability
Definition
the cell membrane allows some substance to pass through but not others, making it
Term
channel protein
Definition
this passive movement of ions across the cell membrane usually requires this type of transporter protein
Term
chemically gated
Definition
these channels will open or close when a specific signal molecule binds to them
Term
mechanically gated
Definition
these channels will open or close when the cell membrane is compressed or stretched
Term
voltage gated
Definition
these channels will open or close when there is a change in charge inside the cell
Term
carrier protein
Definition
these membrane transporters are open to only one side of membrane at a time
Term
channel protein
Definition
this type of membrane transporter creates a water filled passage for specific substances to pass through
Term
carrier protein
Definition
this type of membrane transporter specifically binds the substance that is being moved and physically moves it down its concentration gradient to the other side of the membrane
Term
active
Definition
this type of transport is needed to maintain the chemical disequilibrium of the cell
Term
active
Definition
this type of transport requires the addition of energy from ATP to move substances from one side of the membrane to the other
Term
Antiport
Definition
___ carriers move different substrates in opposite directions across the cell membrane
Term
Symport
Definition
carrier proteins that move more than one substrate at a time are called
Term
uniport
Definition
carrier proteins that move only one substrate at a time is called___carriers
Term
Facilitated
Definition
carriers bind and move substrates down their concentration gradient. because they physically assis the substrates across the membrane, they are involved in___ diffusion
Term
vesicular
Definition
Endocytosis, exocytosis, and phagocytosis are all forms of this transport
Term
primary active
Definition
given the energy requirements, the type of transport shown in 5.14 can bed, and most specifically be called
Term
antiport
Definition
given the number of substrates being moved and the direction of movement of the substrates, this term fits best to describe the type of transporter shown in 5.14
Term
secondary active
Definition
in this type of transport, one substrate is moving down its gradient while another substrate "goes along for the ride" the second substrate is being moved against its gradient, but energy from ATP is not being used by that protein transporter
Term
pumps
Definition
membrane transporters that move substrates against their concentration gradient with the use of energy from ATP are special carriers called
Term
cotransports
Definition
these carriers move more than one type of substrate in the same direction across the membrane at the same time
Term
pumps
Definition
this is another name for ATPase transporters
Term
Depolarized
Definition
the process of a cell's electrical charge becoming more positive than the resting potential
Term
hyperpolarized
Definition
the process of a cell's electrical charge becoming more negative than the resting potential is called
Term
repolarized
Definition
the process of a cell's electrical charge returning from a more positive charge back to the resting potential
Term
negative
Definition
the membrane potential when the cell is at rest is more
Term
resting membrane
Definition
this is the difference in the electrical charge inside versus outside the inactive cell
Term
neurocrines
Definition
collectively, signal molecules that are released from neurons are called
Term
Autocrine
Definition
when cells secrete a signal molecule that binds to the very cell that secreted it .. its referred to as a ___ signal
Term
neurotransmitters
Definition
signal molecules that are secreted by a neuron and bind to the cell on the other side of a synaptic cleft are called
Term
Gap junction
Definition
these cell-to-cell junctions allow for diffusion of ions from one cell to the next, thereby allowing a depolarization wave to spread quickly
Term
cytokines
Definition
this type of signal molecule, once thought to be only involved in immune responses, is secreted by all cells and is involved in cell development and differentiation
Term
paracrine
Definition
this type signal molecule is released by one cell and binds to neighboring cells
Term
signal molecule
Definition
the first step in a signalling pathway is the
Term
membrane receptor
Definition
the second step in a signaling pathway
Term
intercellular signal
Definition
another name for this step is the signaling pathway is " second messenger"
Term
target proteins
Definition
because they are the workeres or do-ers of the cell, it is logical that thees play the role of "effector" in a cellular signaling pathway
Term
transduction
Definition
in this process, one type of signal is converted into another type of signal
Term
amplification
Definition
in this process, a signal is made stronger
Term
g-protein coupled receptor
Definition
the formation of cyclic AMP or the release of calcium from intracellular stores is sometimes involved when this type of receptor is activated
Term
g-protein coupled receptor
Definition
there are several type of these membrane receptors that involve the activation of a 3-subunit protein on the intracellular side of the receptor. one or 2 of the sub-units then move and activate other molecules inside the cell
Term
receptor channels
Definition
this type of membrane receptor is actually a chemically-gated channel, which opens or closes when a signal molecule binds to it
Term
receptor enzyme
Definition
when a signal molecule binds to this type of membrane receptor, an enzyme on the intracellular side of the receptor is activated. as a result a chemical reaction is catalyzed
Term
integrin receptor
Definition
when activated, this type of receptor leads to changes in the cyoskeleton of the cell.
Term
agonists
Definition
because of their action on cells with adrenergic receptors, epinephrine, and norepinephrine can best be described as:
Term
g-protein coupled receptor
Definition
whooping cough is associated with a toxin that interferes with this type of receptor
Term
integrating center
Definition
examine the pathways 6.19 based on what is shown across the board, neurons and endocrine cells always play this role in a feedback loop
