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
destruction of the cell, causes cell to swell and burst
cytolysis
the shrinking of a cell, causes cell to shrink and shrivel
plasmolysis
doesn’t require energy, moves high to low
passive transport: simple diffusion
doesn’t require energy, uses transport proteins to move high to low
passive transport: facilitated diffusion
molecules with randomly move through the pores in Channel Proteins
facilitated diffusion
2 types of transport proteins
channel proteins and carrier proteins
embedded in cell membrane and have pore for materials to cross
channel proteins
change shape to move material from one side of the membrane to the other
carrier proteins
some carrier proteins don’t extend through the membrane
facilitated diffusion
