1. Explain, the key ionic gradients between the intracellular and extracellular fluid environments. How and why are these established? What are the types of movement across a membrane for these ions? 2. Explain the relationship of hydrogen and pH. What two organ systems are involved in regulating pH? 3. Explain what the plasma membrane and some of the inclusions (proteins) present. Lastly, explain the Golgi apparatus and the pathways of its products. In which organ systems or concepts do you think some of the packaged products of the Golgi apparatus will show up?

Step 1
These gradients are maintained by the sodium-potassium pump, which actively transports sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell. This creates a higher concentration of sodium ions outside the cell and a higher concentration of potassium ions Show more…

Recommended Videos
1. Describe the role and importance of the cell membrane. What is meant by "the cell membrane is semipermeable?" 2. Describe the basic structure of the cell membrane with regard to specific molecules. 3. Why is the cell membrane often referred to as a "fluid-mosaic"? 4. What is the function and purpose of the proteins embedded in the cell membrane? 5. Please compare and contrast passive transport and active transport. 6. Describe what is taking place during diffusion. Is this a form of passive or active transport? Explain your reasoning. 7. Describe what osmosis is. Is this a form of passive or active transport? Explain your reasoning. 8. What are the similarities and differences between diffusion and facilitated diffusion? 9. Describe three ways that cells perform active transport.
Sri K.
How do the plasma membrane and extracellular matrix communicate, and how are they connected? Briefly describe them. 2. If the cell was treated with an inhibitor of enzymes that promote microfilament assembly, describe what would happen within the cell. 3. If the cell were treated with the enzyme that degrades collagen (collagenase), describe the resulting effects on cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix function and structure.

1) how would you characterize the molecules that move passively accross the cell membrane by diffusion 2)how yould you characterize the molecule that move passively accross the membrane by osmosis And what is the difference between both mechanisms and why is this important. 3) What ions are in excess in basic solution?describe the difference in this ions and what ions are in excess in acid solutions
