Bio unit 2 Flashcards
Diffusion
high to low conc
facilitated diffusion
high to low conc; proteins assist molecules too big to go thru membrane by themselves
Osmosis
low to high solute conc (to hypertonic)
- the water wants to DILLUTE the solute
hypertonic
higher solute conc
hypotonic
lower solute conc.
isotonic
equal conc of solute anad water
plasmolysis
cell water loss = shriveled cell
when does plasmoylsis happen?
cell placed in hypertonic environment
phagocytosis
cell eating (unspecific)
pinocytosis
cell drinking (unspecific)
receptor-mediated
binding of external molecules to specific receptor proteins in membrane (specific)
dialysis membrane
semi-permeable film
enzyme
a type of recyclable protein that catalyzes chemical reactions
activation energy
amount of energy needed to stimulate reactants for a reaction
factors that affect enzyme activity
temperature, pH, specificity, concentration
Mitosis chromosome number…
one diploid cell ——> 2 genetically identical diploid cell
How do animal cells perform cytokinesis?
cleavage furrow
How do plant cells perform cytokinseis?
cell plate
