What is passive transport? (4)
- 1. No ATP is required.
- 2. Diffusion: movement of a substance from higher concentration to low concentration.
- 3. Osmosis: diffusion of water accross a selectively permeable membrane.
- 4. Facilitated diffusion: moves with concentration gradient, no energy required, specialized membrane proteins required. Example: human insulin.
-
Osmosis: (3)
- 1. Diffusion (movement from high to low concentration) of WATER across a selectively permeable membrane.
- 2. No ATP is required.
- 3. Isotonic solution, hypotonic solution, and hypertonic solution.
-
When using the different osmosis terms what are you talking about and referring to?
Talking about the external environment and referring to the solute.
-
Isotonic solution:(2)
- 1. The water does not move or moves equally in the cell and out of the cell(equal amounts at the same time).
- 2. Equal concentration of water and solutes inside and outside of the cell.
-
Hypotonic solution:(2)
- 1. Water moves into the inside of the cell.
- 2. Less solute, higher water outside of the cell.
-
Hypertonic solution:(3)
- 1. Water leaves the cell.
- 2. Higher solute, lower water on the outside of the cell.
-
What is active transport?(3)
- 1. Movement of substances AGAINST concentration gradient or movement faster than diffusion alone (low to high)
- 2. Requires energy ATP and specific membrane proteins.
- 3. One type of active transport-- endocytosis.
-
Endocytosis...(4)
- 1. A type of active transport
- 2. Requires energy ATP and specific membrane proteins.
- 3. Movement of substances from outside to inside by engulfment and formation of vacuoles Phagocytosis and pinocytosis.
- 4. Also called Bulk Transport.
-
Phagocytosis:(1)
1. Movement of SOLID MATERIALS from outside to inside by engulfment and formation of vacuoles.
-
Pinocytosis:(1)
Movement of LIQUIDS from outside to inside by engulfment and formation of vacuoles.
-
What are the two main environmental factors that influence microbes?
- 1. Temperature
- 2. Gas requirements
-
What are cardinal temperatures?(2)
- 1. The temperature important for growth of organisms.
- 2. Maximum, Minimum and Optimum
-
Four temperature lovers.
- 1. Psychrophiles--"Cold Lover" Example: found on mountain tops, Arctic, deep ocean.
- 2. Facultative psychrophiles--not normally psychrophiles they are mesophiles that can also grow in the cold. Example: Refrigator (S. aureus)
- 3. Mesophiles-- "Middles Lover" Example: human pathogens
- 4. Thermophiles--"Heat Lover" Example: hot springs, volcanic areas, valcanic ocean vents.
-
What temp. are most human pathogens?
Mesophiles-"Middle Lover"
-
Two oxygen requirements.
- 1. Aerobes: use oxygen and can detoxify it.
- 2. Anaerobes: "without air"- can't use oxygen in respiration
-
Three different kinds of anaerobes.
- 1. Facultative anaerobes: can grow without oxygen, but can detoxify oxygen. Example: E. coli-lives in large intestine.
- 2. Strict anaerobes: can't use oxygen, can't detoxify oxygen.
- 3. Aerotolerant anaerobes: can't use oxygen, can detoxify oxygen. (can live with or without oxygen, but can't use them.)
-
What is symbiosis?(2)
- 1. An ecological associations
- 2. "live together"- Two organisms live in close association, required for survival for one or both.
-
What are the three symbiotic relationships?
- 1. Mutualism-both organims benefit
- 2. Commensalism- one benefits, other is not harmed.
- 3. Parasitism- one benefits, one is harmed
