4. TRANSPORT ACROSS THE
PLASMA MEMBRANE
ACTIVE transport
• Energy coupling can transport against a
concentration gradient.
Primary ---Transport is coupled to a chemical process
(ATP hydrolysis).
Secondary ---Transport is coupled to a favorable
transport process
6. • It requires energy molecule (ATP)
• Molecules move from area of low
concentration to area of high concentration.
• Active transport of molecules or ions is
achieved through the use of an integral
membrane protein.
• 3 types of membrane protein:
• *UNIport
• *SYMport
• *ANTIport
9. PASSIVE transport
Energy coupling can transport along a
concentration gradient
This requires no energy.
Molecules move from area of high
concentration to area of low concentration.

11. IONS THAT TRANSPORT THROUGH CELL
MEMBRANE
1. Oxygen
2. Carbon dioxide
3. Water
• Chloride ions
• Sodium ions
• Potassium ions
• Calcium ions

13. List of diseases
Alzheimer disease
Cystic fibrosis
Epilepsy and ataxia
Osteoporosis
Diabetes
Endocrine disorders
Renal diseases
Cardiac arrehythmias
Muscle excitation
14. ALZHEIMER’S
Brain cell death.
Neurodegenerative disease
Show tiny inclusions in the nerve tissue, called
plaques and tangles.
• Plaques are found between the dying cells in the
brain - from the build-up of a protein called beta-
amyloid (you may hear the term "amyloid
plaques").
• The tangles are within the brain neurons - from a
disintegration of another protein, called tau.
15. Causes:
*Ageing
*Environmental factors like stress
*Family history and genetics
Symptoms:
Memory loss
Unable to do normal tasks like cooking,dressing etc
Unable to recognize relatives,friends,irritation,wandering-off
Some lose ability to take care of themselves
Changes in personality and behavior
Impairments to reasoning, complex tasking, exercising judgment
16. • Stages of Alzheimer's disease
• The progression of Alzheimer's can be broken
down into three basic stages:
• Preclinical (no signs or symptoms yet)
• Mild cognitive impairment
Dementia.
Mechanism:
Clumps of amyloid peptides grow in brain
Protein strands twist damaging brain cells
Brain cells die and some part of the brain shrinks
17. PREVENTION
Control the risk factors like blood
pressure,diabetes and stroke.
Avoid stress in mildlife
Leading an active mental and physical life.
Drugs prescribed:
Drugs helps in to remove excess peptides from
the brain.EG:Tacrine,Donepezil
Vaccines to boost immune system against the
peptides.
