ATI Science- Osmosis/Diffusion Flashcards
a substance that can be dissolved in a “solvent”
solute
substance in which a “solute” is dissolved
solvent (solvent is doing the bending)
-tonic mean
strength
has higher solute concentration in the solution than the cell inside of the solution
hypertonic solution
has lower solute concentration in the solution than the cell inside of the solution
hypotonic
has same amount of solute inside the solution, as the cell inside of the solution
isotonic
The cell ______ in a hypertonic solutions
shrinks
The cell _______ in a hypotonic solution
swells
Movement of molecules/ions against a concentration gradient is an example of ______ transport
active transport
Property of water
Water dissolves polar ionic compound
In a hypertonic solution, water flows through aquaporins embedded in the plasma membrane of the cell. This type of transport is best known as which of the following
Osmosis
Which of the following is an example of active transport?
Movement of sodium and potassium against their concentration gradient
when molecules passively move from high to low concentration
diffusion
passive movement of water through a semi permeable membrane, from a low solute concentration to a high solute concentration
osmosis
passive transport vs active transport
does not require energy vs requires energy
