7.3 passive transport Flashcards
what causes diffusion
thermal motion energy
heat
passive transport
doesn’t require energy to transport stuff
- facilitated diffusion
- diffusion
- osmosis
concentration gradient
potential energy
diffusion of water across electively permeable membrane
osmosis
tonicity
the ability of a solution to cause a cell to gain/lose water
isotonic
no net movement of water
hypertonic
loses water to environment and shrivels
hypotonic
water enters the cell and it lyses (bursts)
osmoregulation
control of water balance
rigid cell walls and tonicity
rigid cell walls help cells tolerate excessive water changes
-the relatively inelastic wall exerts a back pressure on the cell that opposes further water uptake
cels Paramecium adaptation
- lives in hypotonic collation (pond water)
- has a contractile vacuole that pumps water out as fast as it enters by osmosis
animal cell in a hypotonic solution
lysed
animal cell in an hypertonic solution
shriveled
plant cell in a hypotonic solution
turgid
plant cell in a isotonic slution
flaccid
