Chapter 6 Flashcards
movement of water through a selectively. permeable membrane
osmosis
equal # of solutes in and out of the cell
isotonic solution
fewer solutes outside the cell vs. inside the cell. h20 diffuses in the cell.
hypotonic solution
more solutes outside the cell vs. inside H2o wants to leave the cell.
hypertonic solute
self feeder use inorganic carbon dioxideand convert it into organic matter
autotrophs
must obtain carbon in organic form from another subject
hetertroph
occurs in a molecule in a cell membrane that can solute bind to it. solute carries across membrane into cytoplasm.
facilitated diffusion
ingest whole cells or large solid matter by endcytosis
phagocytosis
active transport requires ATP to move molecules. Instead of passing through they’re engulfed by the cell membrane
endocytosis
do not use o2 but is tolerant and can live around it
aerotolerant anaerobes
