C2.2 The Role Of The Cell Membrane In Transport Flashcards
What is the SECOND law in the particle model of matter?
The particle of matter are constantly moving or vibrating; particles move least in solids and most in gases. Adding or taking away energy will affect the movement of particles.
What is the first law in the particle model of matter?
All matter is made of particles but the particle in different substances may be different in size and composition.
What is the THIRD law of particle model of matter?
The particles of matter are attracted to one another or are bonded together
What is the FOURTH law in the particle model of matter?
Particles have spaces between them that are smallest in solids, (expect for ice), and greatest in gases. The spaces may be occupied by the particles of other substances.
What is the diffusion?
The nature flow of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
When does diffusion occur?
Diffusion occurs with cells some of the matter that flow into and out of cells.
Rate of diffusion
We can increase the rate at which particles move by adding energy Ex: stirring or heating
What is homeostasis?
The cell attempts to maintain a valence of dilutes inside and outside of the cell
Use of Concentration gradient?
- Is solute difference on either side of the barrier
- The concentration gradient will determine which way that matter will flow across the barrier
What is passive transport?
The movement of matter will occur naturally, no extra energy is needed
What is selector permeable?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable, only certain materials are able to flow into or out of the cell.
What is Semi- permeable membranes?
Artificial membranes allow certain items to pass through the membrane based on the size of the molecules.
What is osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water, which water is able to move freely into and out of the cell. The cell is able to adjust to it’s surroundings by transporting water into and out of the cell.
What is hypertonic?
The concentration of solutes in solution are higher than in cell. Water will flow out of the cell to create homeostasis.
Hypotonic
The concentration of solutes in solution are less than in the cell. Water will flow into the cell to create homeostasis.
