Chapter 3: Solutions and on Flashcards
Substance into which another substance is dissolved generally a fluid
Solvent
Substance which is dissolved into another generally solids and gases
Solute
Simple diffusion
Facilitated diffusion
Osmosis
Filtration
Passive(physical) Processes
Active transport
Endocytosis
Exocytosis
Transcytosis
Active(physiological) Processes
No energy needed no ATP required
Down a concentration gradient from high to low concentration
Facilitated diffusion requires use of protein carrier/transport molecules
Passive transport
Requires the use of energy in the form of ATP
Against a gradient from low to high concentration
Some types require the use of protein Carrier/transport molecules
Active transport
What are the 5 factors that influence diffusion rates
Distance Molecule size Temperature Gradient size Electrical forces
What is diffusion across a membrane with the help of the channel or carrier molecule
facilitated Diffusion
What is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration
Osmosis
Water moves towards a ____________ concentration of solutes
Higher
Total solute concentration in an aqueous solution
Osmolarity
Effect of osmosis solutions on cell volume
Tonicity
The pressure exerted by the flow of water through a semi permeable membrane separating two solutions with a different concentrations of solute
Osmotic pressure
Osmotic Pressure ____________ as the concentration of non-permeable solutes ____________
Increases
Increases
Same osmotic pressure
Isotonic
Higher osmotic pressure
Hypertonic
Lower osmotic pressure
Hypotonic
Smaller molecules are forced through porous membrane’s
Hydrostatic pressure important in the body
Example molecules leaving blood capillaries
Filtration
Substances move up there concentration gradient through phospholipid Byler
Active transport
Cell engulfs substance by forming vesicle around substance
Endocytosis
What are the three types of endocytosis and what do they mean
Pinocytosis – substance is mostly water
Phagocytosis – substance is a solid
Receptor mediated endocytosis – requires the substance to bind to a membrane bound receptor
Substances in a vesicle fuse with cell membrane
Contents released outside the cell
Example release of neurotransmitter from nerve cells
Exocytosis
Sequence of nucleotides
Genetic code
Three nucleotides specify single amino acid
Condon
