What does the 0 represent
What does i represent
Protein
Phospholipid bilayer
What is the permeability of the fluid Mosaic model
Selectively permeable
Allows small molecules to pass through
What are the 3 main ways which substances can enter/ leave cell
Diffusion
Osmosis
Active Transport
Diffusion is when you move from a ……. concentration -> ….. concentration
Higher concentration to lower concentration tration
What does passive mean
Energy not required
Is diffusion a passive process
YES
Gases are exchanged in ......... Eg Oxygen | | | | | | ☆☆☆ | -> Lungs Carbon dioxide | ----------------------------- |
Carbon dioxide | | | | | | ☆☆☆ | -> body tissue Oxygen | ----------------------------- |
Diffusion
Osmosis
Movement of water from high to low low concentration (diffusion)
Passive process
Osmosis in Plant Cells
When the concentration of water is equal.
What happens to the appearance of the cell?
No change in appearance
Osmosis in Plant Cells
When the concentration of water is Higher.
What happens to the cell
Cell is turgid
Vacuole Swells
Cell wall prevents it from bursting
Osmosis in Plant Cells
What happens when there is a lower water concentration?
Water flows out cell
Vacuole shrinks
Cell becomes plasmolysed
