Q

Refers to a solution that is less concentrated when compared to another solution

A

Hypotonic

21
Q

The substance that does the dissolving in a solution

A

Solvent

22
Q

______ sized molecules tend to produce a higher rate of diffusion

A

Smaller

23
Q

These types of proteins catalyze chemical reactions on the cell membrane.

A

Enzymatic

24
Q

These types of protein cause a change to the cell membrane when a specifically shaped molecule binds it’s busing site

A

Receptor proteins

25
Q

The diffusion rate can be increased by raising the _____ , which in turn increases the speed in which molecules are moving

A

Temperature

26
Q

Active transport is able to move molecules __________ the concentration gradient

A

Against

27
Q

When solutions on either side of a membrane are the same concentration, there is ______ net movements or water or solute across a membrane

A

Zero

28
Q

What is turgor pressure and why is it important to plant cells?

A

Turgor pressure are caused by hypotonic solutions and occurs when plant cells admit water. It is important because as their cells lose turgor pressure, the plant will start to wilt

Q

The substance that is being dissolved in solution

A

Solute

Carrier

31
Q

Special type of diffusion where water is the substance moving.

A

Osmosis

A

Glycolipid

37
Q

Water loving molecules

A

Hydrophilic

38
Q

Rate of diffusion can be increased by increasing :

A

Concentration gradient, temperature

39
Q

Occurs when there is a concentration gradient across a membrane and only water is able to pass through

Refers to solution taht is more concentrated when compared to another solution

A

Hypertonic
