BRS PHYSIOLOGY- CELL PHYSIOLOGY EXAM QUESTIONS

AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED


What are the backbone and tails made of in the phospholipid bilayer?

Backbone-Glycerol

Tail- Fatty acids

What interactions hold integral proteins to the cell membrane?

Hydrophobic reactions

Not embedded in membrane, not covalently bound

peripheral proteins

What interactions attach peripheral proteins to cell membranes?

electrostatic

What type of junctions permit electrical coupling between myocardial cells?

gap junctions

What type of tight junctions are there?

Tight- impermeable (renal distal tubule)

Leaky- renal proximal tubule and gallbladder

diffusion equation

J= -PA(C1-C2)

three factors in permeability

,1) Oil/water partition coefficient: Increased, increases solubility in the lipid membrane

2) Radius of solute: Decreases size, increases permeability

3) Membrane thickness: decreased thickness increases permeability

What type of transport is carrier mediated?

-Facilitated diffusion

-Primary and secondary active

3 characteristics of carrier-mediated transport

1) stereospecificty

2) saturation: transport rate increases with concentration until saturated.

3) competition: structurally related solutes can compete

concentration when carrier is saturated

Transport maximum:

Which is more rapid, facilitated diffusion or simple diffusion?

facilitated

Which direction does the Na/K ATPase pump ions?

Pumps Na out of the cell, and K into the cell.

How many Na is pumped to each K?

3Na+/2K+

What drugs inhibit the Na/K ATPase?

ouabain

digitalis

Where and how does the Ca-ATPase work?

In sarcoplasmic reticulum, transports Ca against electrochemical gradient.

, Where and how does the H/K ATPase work?

Gastric parietal cells, transports H into the lumen of the stomach against gradient.

What drug inhibits the H/K ATPase?

omeprazole

concentration of osmotically active particles in a solution

osmolarity

osmolarity equation

=g x C

g-# of particles in solution

osmotic pressure equation

=g x C x RT

0-1, describe the ease with which solute permeates a membrane.

reflection coefficient

impermeable, creates osmotic pressure (albumin)

reflection coefficient of 1

completely permeable, will not exert osmotic effect (urea)

reflection coefficient of 0

How do you calculate the effective osmotic pressure?

Osmotic pressure multiplied by the reflection coefficient.

How are some ion channels selective?

-The charge that lines the channel

-The size of the channel

What determines the conductance of a channel?
