Chapter 7 - Osmosis Flashcards
0
Q
Passive transport/facilitated diffusion =?
A
Only small non-polar molecules can pass through the plasma membrane
1
Q
Diffusion =?
A
Chemicals moving from high concentration to a region of low concentration
2
Q
Osmosis =?
A
Water; movement of h2o from high to low concentration of h2o
3
Q
Active Transport =?
A
Against the concentration gradient; going from low to high concentration; does not end at equilibrium
4
Q
Endo/exocytosis =?
A
How large things move across the membrane; concentration gradient does not apply
Endo: moving into the cell
Exocytosis: removing things from the cell
5
Q
What happens to a cell in hypertonic solution?
A
More concentrated solution
6
Q
What about hypotonic solution?
A
Less concentrated solution
