Diffusion is moving toward
equilibrium
Diffusion of 1 substances does not interfere with what?

Also known as carrier-mediated diffusion
facilitated diffusion
Facilitated diffusion transport proteins sometimes called
permeases
Each carrier protein has a specific ____ for ____ a molecule
affinity, binding
The affinity for binding a molecule is measured by
Km
Facilitated diffusion can max out _____ if all available transport proteins are ____ to substrates
transporters, bound
Vmax is?
When transporters are maxed out

Facilitated diffusion deals with movement of ____ and most ____ ___
glucose, amino acids
Rate of solute transport is measured by?
1/2 Vmax

Osmoses moves from ____ concentration to ___ concentration.
high, low
Net movement of water is?
Usually zero
Changes in solute concentration does not impact water movement (T/F)
False
Net movement of water occurs to area of ____ free water
less (higher concentration of solute)
Goal of osmosis is what?

Pressure applied to stop the flow of water to side of highest solute concentration is known as?
Osmotic pressure aka hydrostatic pressure
The hydrostatic pressure is the pressure applied to the ____ to ___ the flow of water
chamber, stop
