Q

Explain molecules diffusing down a concentration gradient

A

The molecules move from more concentrated areas to areas with less concentration, no energy

Q

Facilitated diffusion vs simple diffusion

A

Facilitated - has molecules that cannot readily diffuse so they need to be assisted by carrier proteins. Simple diffusion - just diffusion across a membrane

Q

Why does a house plant die if you water it with salt water?

A

Plant gets it’s water diluted from the salt concentration so it dies

A

taking molecules into the cell, active transport, vesicles are applied

Q

Can endo and exocytosis occur within the same cell?

A

yes because it needs to get rid of waste but still bring important materials into the cell

Q

If transport proteins that carry amino acids into a cell stopped working, how might the process affect the cell?

A

uses exo and endocytosis to get the proteins but uses more energy

Q

final vesicle formed during exocytosis and the cell membrane where does it go?

A

vesicle fusses with the membrane.

made of the same material, gets larger

Q

solution with a lower solute concentration

16
Q

solution in which solute is the same

17
Q

condition plant cells require

18
Q

condition that animal cells require

19
Q

solution with higher solute concentration

A

hypertonic

20
Q

solution with a high water concentration

21
Q

good turgor pressure

A

amount of pressure on cell wall in a plant cell

22
Q

in active transport, in which direction (concentration gradient) is the movement occuring ?

A

against/up (using energy)

23
Q

3 types of active transport

A
endocytosis 
exocytosis 
proteins pumps (sodium potassium pump)
24
in active transport, what does the protein do?
used to pump the ions called integral protein, changes its shape to move ions across the cell membrane
25
receptors, what are they ?
detect a signal molecule and perform an action response intracellular - binds molecules that can cross membrane- binds to molecules that cannot cross membrane
26
cellular transport
movement of molecules across a membrane
27
all components of the cell membrane vibrate randomly. allows _____ molecules like water to pass through, but _____ molecules like sugar can pass through less easily
small, larger
28
diffusion has how much energy?
NONE its passive transport
