Cellular Transport Flashcards
a semi-permeable membrane barrier that separates the cell from external environment.
plasma membrane
helps maintain cellular integrity
plasma membrane’s dynamic and fluid structure
enables the cell to work efficiently
cellular integrity
function of the plasma membrane
regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell.
ways molecules pass through the cell membrane
-passively
-actively
a form of passive transport that moves substances down their concentration gradient.
Diffusion
Some solutes diffuse directly through _________ while others require _________ to facilitate the transport.
-lipid bilayer
-membrane proteins
the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane.
Osmosis
energy-requiring and move substances against their concentration gradient.
Active processes
Factors that affect the rate of diffusion
-concentration gradient
-membrane permeability
-temperature
-pressure
It is the potential of water molecules to move from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution across a semi-permeable membrane.
Osmotic potential
starts to migrate downwards through the sample and the agar slowly changes color and becomes dyed
Methylene blue
is a substance or compound added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or test if one occurs.
Reagents
A difference in solute concentration means there is a difference in water concentration and water will move form the region of ______ water concentration to a region of ________ water concentration.
higher, lower
the separation of solutes according to their size by diffusion through a semi-permeable membrane.
Dialysis
a device used to measure osmotic force.
Osmometer
In dialysis, the solute molecules always move from the region of ______________ to the region of ______________.
-higher solute concentration (hypertonic)
-lower solute concentration (hypotonic)
When the strips is exposed to glucose it will change color from ________ to _________.
yellow to blue
When lugol’s solution is in the presence of starch the solution will change to a __________ color.
dark blue
a positive test will turn the yellow end of the strip to ______.
blue
the process of moving substances or organic matter inside or
outside of the cell.
Cell transport
any external solution that has a low solute concentration and high water concentration compared to body fluids.
Hypotonic solution
its solute concentration is higher than that inside the cell, and the solutes cannot cross the membrane.
Hypertonic solution
any external solution that has the same solute concentration and water concentration compared to body fluids.
Isotonic solution
A chemical solution that was able to pass through the semipermeable membrane.
Lugol’s solution
unable to cross the plasma membrane by passive diffusion.
Glucose solution
-small enough to pass freely through the membrane.
-diffused into the tube with the starch.
Iodine solution
the starch solution only
changed color on the Lugol’s solution because of the presence of the _______ in the solution.
starch
The dialysis tube solution after soaking in distilled water, shows both positive results due to
the fact that it contains both ________ and ________ in its solution.
Glucose, Starch
indicates a color change
Positive
indicates no color change on a certain chemical.
Negative
glucose solution in glucose test tape
Positive (+)
Glucose solution in Lugol’s solution
Negative (-)
Starch solution in Glucose test tape
Negative
Starch solution in Lugol’s solution
Positive (+)
Dialysis tube solution after soaking in
distilled water in Glucose test tape
Positive (+)

dialysis tube in Lugol’s solution
Negative (-)
Beaker of distilled water after insertion of
dialysis tube in Glucose test tape

0.9% NaCl content results in ________ changes occurring
to the egg.
non-visible
the hypotonic solution with
pure distilled water, results in a
________ or _________ naked egg
Bulkier or Swollen
