9.2 Study Guide Flashcards
Simple diffusion
Molecules move directly over phospholipid bilayer
Facilitated diffusion
Molecules move across membrane with help of proteins
Osmosis
Diffusion of water across semi permeable membrane to dilute higher solute concentrations
Hypertonic
Higher % solute, lower % water
Hypotonic
Higher % water, lower % solute
Isotonic
Equal % solute
Active transport
Cells move molecules against concentration gradient
What is permeability based on
Size (smaller)
Polarity (Nonpolar)
Three things about facilitated diffusion
NO energy required (particles already moving)
Movement from high to low through a protein
Specific to particular substances
What temperature do molecules diffuse the fastest
High temperature
