cell transport (alc) Flashcards
requires no energy, HIGH to LOW concentration
simple diffusion
a passive process, no energy is used to make the molecules move, natural KINETIC ENERGY
diffusion
solute moves DOWN the concentration gradient, (HIGH to LOW)
diffusion through membrane
diffusion of water across a membrane
osmosis
moves from HIGH water concentration to LOW water concentration
osmosis
water is attracted to solute (salt), it travels to areas of low solute concentration to high solute concentration
osmosis
high water concentration ——–> low water concentration
low solute concentration ——> high solute concentration
diffusion of water across a membrane
a solution whose solute concentration is the same as the solute concentration inside the cell
isotonic
a solution whose solute concentration is lower than the solute concentration inside the cell
hypotonic
a solution whose solute concentration is higher than the solute concentration inside the cell
hypertonic
cell is at equilibrium, water flows in both directions
isotonic
water is going inside the cell
hypotonic
water is going out the cell
hypertonic
cytolysis
hypotonic
plasmolysis
hypertonic
