ch 4 part 6 reviews Flashcards
Passive transport of water molecules across a membrane in response to solute concentrations
Osmosis
water pores
aquaporins
cells can swell or shrink depond on ____________
direction of water movement
tonicity
the relationship between the concentration of solutes inside the cell and solutes outside the cell (in solution)
types of tonicity ?
hypertonic and hypotonic and isotonic
dehydrated celery
contain many of dissolved molecules or solute relative to water molecules
distilled water
contain fewer dissolved molecules than celery cells
osmosis in distilled water and salt water :
in distilled water ,fewer solute
water will diffuse into the celery equalizing the water concentration inside and outside
in salt water contain more dissolved molecules than celery cells
water move out
isotonic solution
i soo ton ic
concentration balanced
water movement balanced
hyposolution
solute concentration lower in extracellular
=water in
hypersolution
solute concentraion higher in extracellular =
water diffuse out the cell
Transport that requires the input of energy to move molecules across a membrane
active transport
characteristic of active transport :
-large molecules
-molecules move against concentration gradient
-types primary and socendary
primary active transport
uses ATP,
secondary active transport
-that uses an electrochemical gradient
-from lower concentraion to hifher concentration
