16
Q

Simple diffusion

A

Molecules are able to freely cross the cell membrane

17
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

Molecules need assurance of a channel protein it transport protein to cross the cell membrane

18
Q

Osmosis

A

The diffusion of water

19
Q

Aquaporins

A

A channel water is able to freely pass through

20
Q

Hypotonic solution(3)

A

Lower solute concentration

Higher water (solvent) concentration

Net movement of water out of this side

RBC swells and potentially burst(lyse)

21
Q

Hypertonic solution(3)

A

Higher solute concentration
Lower water(solvent) concentration
Net movement of water toward this side

RBC crenates(shrivel)

22
Q

Isotonic

A

Equal solute and solvent concentration

23
Q

Osmotic pressure

A

The pressure generated within a cell as water presses against the plasma membrane

24
Q

Filtration

A

The separation of particles in a solution when pressure is applied to one side of the membrane

causes small particles to pass through membrane

25
Filtrate
Small particles and fluid that pass through the membrane
26
Hydrostatic pressure
When the pressure is exerted by water flow
27
Filtration rate
The rate substances filter through a membrane
28
Active transport
The energy needed to transport substances against a concentration gradient
29
Vesicular transport
The process of moving large molecules and droplets of ECF across the plasma membrane
30
Endocrine
The process of bringing substances inside cells
31
Exocytosis
The release of material in a cell
32
Phagocytosis
Cell eating The intake of large substances in a cell
33
Pinocytosis
Cell drinking The uptake of small droplets of ECF
