Describe the contribution of each of the following to establishing and maintaining membrane potential: (a) the Na+K+ pump, (b) passive movement of K+ across the membrane, (c) passive movement of Na+ across the membrane, and (d) the large intracellular anions.
Compare channels and transporters. Channels are __________, and transporters are __________. Select one: a. slower, more selective b. Less selective, slower c. faster, less selective d. slower, less selective e. more selective, faster
Ions like K+ cannot diffuse directly across the membrane. They need open ion channels to cross the membrane. Explain why.
There are differences in Na+, K+, and Cl- ion concentrations across the membrane. Knowing that ions like to flow down their respective concentration gradients explain how the movement of Cl- and K+ ions can result in membrane hyperpolarization.
Hyperkalemia is associated with the inability of the kidneys to properly filter potassium out of the blood. Which type of membrane transport do the kidneys use to filter the blood? A. Hydrostatic pressure B. Osmotic pressure C. Filtration D. Active diffusion
If an ion has the same concentration on both sides of the membrane, then Eion Will be:
Na+/k+ pump NCX Ca2+ pump funny channels leak channels chloride shift for all transporters which are active or passive and which are found on apical surface verses basal surface?
You know that Na/K pumps are a form of active cross-membrane transport of Na and K ions, which means, it takes energy for these pumps to work. Imagine a situation, where blood flow through a part of the brain gets interrupted due to a blood clot. This part of the brain now does not get blood perfusion, and therefore it gets no oxygen and energy fuel in order to keep the Na/K pumps going in those brain cells. Very soon, these brain cells swell up with water and die. Explain, how and why the cells swell up (or even burst) if their Na/K pumps stop working.
