chapter 2 pt 2 Flashcards
semi permeable membrane: can
regulate passage of substances into and out of cell
passive transport:
movement of ions/molecules from HIGH CONCENTRATION to LOW CONCENTRATION WITHOUT ENERGY INPUT
concentration gradient:
difference in concentration between sides of membrane
3 forms of passive treansport:
diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion
diffusion:
net movement of ions/molecules from HIGH CONCENTRATION to LOW CONCENTRATION
osmosis:
diffusion of water
why is osmosis separate from diffusion
water is very important to life
osmosis: water molec.s move because the membrane is
impermeable to the solute
osmosis: water molecules move in and out of cell along
concentration gradient until water concentration is equal on both sides of membrane
osmosis: concentration of all solutes in solution determines
osmotic concentration
osmotic concentration:
direction of osmosis determined by comparing total solute concentrations
osmotic concentration: hypertonic
more solute, less water (HIGHER CONC)
osmotic concentration: hypotonic
less solute, more water (LOWER CONC)
osmotic concentration: isotonic
equal solute, equal water (SAME CONC)
ANIMAL CELL: hypotonic
lysed (bursting)
