Chapter 5 Flashcards
Membranes are composed of..
bilayer phospholipids w/ proteins and fliud mosiac
Diffusion
tendency of particles to spreads out evenly in available space
Passive
movement of enzyme without using NRG
Osmosis
diffusion of water across membrane
Tonicity
ability of a sol’n to cause a cell to gain or lose water
Isotonic
concentration of solute is same on both sides of membrane
Hypotonic
solute concentration is lower outside cell, water moves into cell and will expand, may burst
Hypertonic
solute concentration is higher outside of the cell, water move out of cell and cell will shrink
Osmoregulation
control of water balance
Active transport
cell must expend NRG to move a solute against its concentration
Facilitated diffusion
move across membranes with help of specific transport proteins. doesn’t require NRG
Exocystosis
export bulky molecules
Endocystosis
import substances useful to livelihood of the cell
Energy
capacity to cause change or to perform
Kinetic NRG
NRG of motion
