26
contain the same concentration of solute as another solution (e.g. the cell's cytoplasm).
Isotonic Solutions
27
diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Osmosis
28
The solution has a lower concentration of solutes and a higher concentration of water than inside the cell. (Low solute; High water)
Hypotonic Solution
29
The solution has a higher concentration of solutes and a lower concentration of water than inside the cell. (High solute; Low water)
Hypertonic Solution
30
The concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cell.
Isotonic Solution
31
have cell walls that prevent them from over-expanding.
Bacteria and plants
32
like paramecium has contractile vacuoles that collect water flowing in and pump it out to prevent them from over-expanding.
protist
33
pump salt out of their specialized gills so they do not dehydrate.
Salt water fish
34
are bathed in blood. Kidneys keep the blood isotonic by removing excess salt and water.
Animal cells
35
is the movement of molecules from LOW to HIGH concentration.
Active transport
36
________as molecules must be pumped against the concentration gradient.
Energy is required
37
Proteins that work as pumps are called
protein pumps.
38
transport proteins that require energy to do work
Protein Pumps
