chp 7 s4 Flashcards
endocytosis
surrounds and brings particles into the cell
exocytosis
takes cell materials out of the cell
what is a sodium-potassium pump?
a pump that moves 3 positive sodium ions out of the cell and moves 2 positive potassium ions into the cell
osmosis
diffusion of water across a membrane
what is the sodium-potassium pump an example of?
active transport
what is active transport?
the movement of particles across the cell membrane using energy
what is the isotonic solution?
WATER and solutes have equal concentration and diffuse INTO AND OUT OF the cell
what is the hypertonic solution?
- solute concentration is higher OUTSIDE of the cell
- water diffuses OUT OF the cell
what is the hypotonic solution?
- solute concentration is higher INSIDE of the cell
- water diffuses INTO the cell
what is osmosis?
diffusion of WATER across a selectively permeable membrane
what is facilitated diffusion?
movement of materials across the plasma membrane using proteins
what is dynamic equilibrium?
when particles are evenly distributed so there is no change to inside or outside of the cell
when is dynamic equilibrium reached?
Is reached when diffusion of material into the cell equals diffusion of material out of the cell
what is diffusion?
Movement of particles across the membrane without using energy
example of diffusion?
tea bag steeping in water
