Q

what does facilitated diffusion do

A

Binding to protein carriers

54
Q

what is carrier-mediated facilitated diffusion

A

Transport specific polar molecules (e.g., sugars and amino acids) too large for channels molecule has to fit this assistor molecule

62
Q

what is osmosis

A

Movement of solvent (e.g., water) across selectively permeable membrane, diffusion of water through the membrane

63
Q

67
Q

when does water stop moving by osmosis

A

opposing forces

Q

what happens when solutions of different osmolarity are separated by membrane permeable to all molecules
