Bio Quiz (Chapter 5 & 6) Flashcards
Diffusion
Movement from High to Low Concentration
Permeable
Things can pass through
Selectively/Semi Permeable
Some things can pass through
Gradient
Level of concentration. (passive transport) high->low, (active transport) low->high
Solute
The thing being dissolved in water.
Water moves to dilute solutes, no energy required.
Hypertonic
Causes cells to shrivel up, makes water move out
Hypotonic
Causes cells to expand, makes water move in
Isotonic
Equilibrium or balance, water in = water out
Active Transport
Requires Energy (ATP)
Passive Transport
Doesn’t require energy
Osmosis
Diffusion of water through the cell membrane
Aquaporins
Protein channels that allow water to move (responsible for the diffusion of water)
Phospholipid Bilayer
Two layers of phospholipids, inside is hydrophobic, outside is hydrophilic
Metabolism
All chemical reactions
Catabolic
Breaks down large molecules, releases energy
