Q

Transport protein

A

carry thing in to cell. aid things that need to come in but are too large- lead to lower concentration on the gradient.

Q

facilitated diffusion

A

some molecules are bigger and have a harder time getting thru the membrane. Transport proteins help move them into an area where the membrane is more permeable

Q

Ósmosis (passive transport)

A

transport of water molecules
-move down their concentration gradient as a response to solute concentration
-net flow of water is from the more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution.

Q

Plasmolysis

A

-when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solition
-vacuole loses water and shrinks causing the cell membrane to peel away from the cell wall
-eventually plant goes limp

Q

Turgidty

A

-when plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution.
-vacuole gains water and expands causing cell membrane to swell, pushing on the cell wall

Q

Active transport

A

-Required ATP during transport as solute molecules move up (against) their concentration gradient.
-helps maintain an internal environment that is different form its external environment.
- either by transport proteins or change in cell membrane
