Cell Transport Flashcards
1
Q
What Is Active Transport
A
When it does require ATP to move molecules thru the membrane
2
Q
What is Passive transport
A
When it does not require ATP to move molecules thru the membrane
3
Q
What is a concentration gradient
A
A difference in the concentration of a substance across a distance
4
Q
What has to happen for equilibrium to be reached?
A
When molecules reach a point of equal concentration so they move back and forth across the membrane at a constant rate so the net movement overall is zero.
5
Q
Passive transport is high to low, or low to high?
A
High to low
6
Q
Active transport is high to low, or low to high?
A
low to high
7
Q
Hypotonic
A
Low solute and high water concentration
8
Q
Hypertonic
A
High solute and low water concentration
9
Q
Isotonic
A
Same amout of water and solute concentration
