Q

what is simple diffusion?
gradient
energy

A

substance moves from a higher concentration to a lower concentration
movement is down the gradient concentration
no energy is needed

26
Q

what happens after diffusion?

A

equilibrium

27
Q

what is osmosis?
energy

A

the diffusion of water
moves water from a high concentration to a lower concentration
no energy is needed

28
Q

what is concentration?

A

amount of solute in a certain volume
% solution= # g solute in final volume of 100 ml

29
Q

a _ solute concentration = _ water concentration

A

high
Low

30
Q

what is a concentrated solution?

A

high solute/ low water

31
Q

what is a dilute solution?

A

lower solute/ higher water

32
Q

what is hypertonic?

A

too much substance
too little water

33
Q

what does high salt cause the cell to do?

A

shrivel up

34
Q

what is hypotonic?

A

too little substance
too much water

35
Q

what is isotonic?

A

solute in and out are equal

36
Q

in what cells do cells burst?

A

animal
not plants

37
Q

is dialysis tubing semipermeable?

A

yes so small molecules like water, salt and ions can pass through. it has little pores

38
Q

what can’t pass through dialysis tubing?

A

large organic molecules

39
Q

in simple diffusion which way will the solute move?

A

down it’s concentration gradient
high to low

40
Q

where does the solute pass through in simple diffusion?

A

lipid part of membrane - no transport protein needed

41
Q

only substances that are soluble in the lipid bilayer can pass through the membrane by

A

simple diffusion
ex: 02, C02, steroids

42
Q

what is facilitated diffusion?
gradient
energy

A

solute moves from a high concentration to a low concentration
down its gradient
no energy needed

43
Q

what solutes use facilitated diffusion?

A

non soluble solutes in lipid part of membrane
ions, polar molecules, sugars, macromolecules

44
Q

what does facilitated diffusion require because it can’t pass directly through membrane?

A

transport protein

45
Q

in facilitated diffusion, chemicals must be transported in which direction?

A

the same- down the gradient

46
Q

what are the types of passive transport?

A

osmosis, simple and facilitated diffusion

47
Q

all passive transport move _ its concentration gradient and _ need an energy input

A

down
doesnt

48
Q

what is active transport?
gradient
energy

A

solute moves from a low concentration to a high concentration
moves against gradient
energy required since it is against (atp, gtp, ion gradient, light, other high energy compounds

49
Q

does active transport need a transport protein?

A

yes- it is not solvable in lipid bilayer (ions, polar molecules, organic molecules)

50
Q

true or false: some molecules will use both facilitated diffusion and active transport?

A

yes- depending on which way it is moving

51
Q

types of active transport

A

direct and indirect

52
Q

what is direct active transport?

A

primary active transport
solute moves from a low to a high concentration
type of energy is usually atp, other high molecules, light

53
Q

what is indirect active transport?

A

secondary active transport
two part system: protein one sets up an ion gradient across the membrane (H+ -ATPase or Na/K- ATPase)
protein two uses ion gradient as a source of energy to transport substance across the membrane and against the gradient

54
Q

in indirect active transport, ion moves from high to low releasing

A

energy

55
Q

what are the types of transport proteins?

A

uniport- one chemical transported
symport- two chemicals transported at the same time in the same direction
antiport- two chemicals transported at the same time in opposite directions
(either facilitated or active)

56
Q

what is exocytosis?

A

moves substance out of cell
substance is packed into a vesicle which fuses with pm and the contents of vesicle are released outside of the cell

57
Q

energy transport for exocytosis?

A

gtp

58
Q

what are examples of exocytosis?

A

release of hormones and enzyme neurotransmitters

59
Q

what is endocytosis?

A

brings select substances into cell
substances bind to receptor protein, in outside of pm which the pm invaginates and vesicle forms. then the vesicle is sent to lysosome and substance is broken down for subunits to be used k. Cell

60
Q

energy for endocytosis?

A

gtp
