2.2 Kahoot - exam Flashcards
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a…
High concentration to low concentration
Diffusion across a cell membrane does not require __?
Energy
What types of molecules are able to cross the membrane easily via simple diffusion?
Small non-polar molecules
How does temperature affect diffusion?
Hotter = faster diffusion
What is osmosis?
The movement of water from high to low concentration
If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, this means….?
the solution has LOWER concentration of dissolved solutes than the cell
If a cell is placed in an ISOTONIC solution, this means….?
the solution has EQUAL concentration of dissolved solutes to the cell
What kind of environment does a plant cell prefer?
hypotonic
Facilitated diffusion requires:
a membrane embedded protein
What is a channel protein?
opens and closes to let substances pass
What is a carrier protein?
a carrier protein changes shape to help move the particles through
Channel proteins allow…
small polar and charged molecules to cross
Carrier proteins allow…
diffusion across the membranes of larger polar molecules
channel proteins allow ions to move in & out of the cell faster than carrier proteins
true
TRUE/FALSE: Carrier proteins require ATP to change shape.
False
Active transport
- requires energy
- moves materials against a concentration gradient
- is usually done by transport proteins in the cell membrane
