Mass Balance and Homeostasis • Clearance • Rate at which a molecule disappears from the body • Mass flow = concentration volume flow • Homeostasis equilibrium • Osmotic equilibrium • Chemical disequilibrium • Electrical disequilibrium
Diffusion • Diffusion is the net movement of particles from an area of higher particle concentration to an area of lower particle concentration. • Net movement = flux • Both the size and direction of movement is concentration-dependent.
Simple Diffusion Extracellular fluid Membrane surface area Concentration outside cell Molecular size Lipid solubility • Fick’s law of diffusion Concentration gradient Membrane thickness Composition of lipid layer Concentration inside cell Intracellular fluid Fick's Law of Diffusionsays: surface area • concentration gradient • membrane permeability Rate of diffusion membrane thickness Membrane permeability lipid solubility Membrane permeability molecular size Changing the composition of the lipid layer can increase or decrease membrane permeability.
Two classes of compounds move by simple diffusion • Lipid soluble compounds • Small ions which move through protein channels a. channels are selective b. channels can be regulated
Channel Proteins: Gated • Usually closed • Often highly Selective (size, charge) • Chemical (e.g. intracellular messengers) • Temperature • Mechanical/tension • Electric (voltage) signals • Consist of subunits • Ion channels: e.g. K+, Na+, Ca2+ Leak channels open all time e.g. allow water, ions movement
Active Transport • Can transport against a concentration gradient • Requires energy input (ATP to ADP, P) • Two forms: • primary active transport • secondary active transport
Primary Active Transport 1 1 ECF ATP ADP ADP 5 2 3 Na+ from ICF bind ICF 2 K+ released into ICF ATPase is phosphorylated with Pi from ATP. Protein changes conformation. 3 Na+ released into ECF 2 K+ from ECF bind 4 3
Secondary Active Transport • Mechanism of the SGLT Transporter 1 Na+ binds to carrier. 3 Glucose binding changes carrier conformation. Intracellular fluid Lumen of intestine or kidney SGLT protein [Na+] low [glucose] high [Na+] high [glucose] low 4 Na+ released into cytosol. Glucose follows. 2 Na+binding creates a site for glucose.
Energy Transfer in Living Cells Glucose Energy is imported into the cell as energy stored in chemical bonds of nutrients such as glucose. Glucose Glycolysis ATP Pyruvate Metabolism The chemical bond energy is converted into high-energy bonds of ATP through the process of metabolism. Heat CA cycle H2O ETS CO2 Primary active transport Na+ The energy in the high-energy phosphate bond of ATP is used to move K+ and Na+ against their concentration gradients. This creates potential energy stored in the ion concentration gradients. ATP K+ ATP O2 ADP+Pi High [K+] Low [K+] Low [Na+] High [Na+] Secondary active transport Na+ K+ The energy of the Na+ gradient can be used to move other molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradients. 2 Cl– KEY CA cycle ETS = Citric acid cycle = Electron transport system
Carrier Proteins: Proteins are Required for Carrier-mediated Transport • Specificity • Saturation • Competition
46-61% body weight is water • How is water distributed in body?
Osmosis and Tonicity • Net diffusion of water from an area of low solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration when movement of solute is prevented by a membrane.
Tonicity • Tonicity depends on the relative concentrations of nonpenetrating solutes
Osmolarity • Total number of osmotically active particles • Osmolarity = molar conc x # particles of solute in solution • (1 mM glucose) x 1 particle =1 mOs glucose • (1 mM NaCl) x 2 particles = 2 mOs NaCl
Tonicity • Describes only number of non-penetrating solutes 300 mM NaCl = 600 mOs NaCl Hypertonic solution Water moves out; cell shrinks 300 mOs Isotonic = same as cell; size stable Hypotonic = less than cell; cells lyse
NaCl, protein: non-penetrating • Urea: penetrating
