Final Flashcards
What is diffusion?
movement of particles from higher to lower concentrations
what is the random movement displayed by microscopic particles suspended in fluid called?
brownian motion
what osmosis?
diffusion of water across the semi permeable membrane
what is facilitated diffusion?
molecules passing through protein channels
what does passive transport mean?
diffusion that doesn’t required ATP
awhat does active transport do and what does it require?
ATP is required, it moves molecules to low conservation to higher concentrations
what is the difference between a solvent and a solute?
Solvent is the liquid and solute is the solid
describe the difference between hypertonic and hypotonic solution?
hypertonic- higher solute concentration
hypotonic- low solute concentration
what would happen is a hospital IV bag was pure water?
your blood cells would fill up w/water and burst
what is a specifically happening to plants where they wilt?
the vacuole collapses
what are the three components involved in a sexual reproduction?
meiosis, gametes, fertilization
what is the main difference between sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction?
what is a meiosis also known as?
reduction division
what is the difference between diploid and haploid cells?
diploid has the full set of chromosomes
haploids half
what crucial process happens in prophase 1 of meiosis and what is specifically happening?
chromosome crossingover, they’re exchanging genetic information
clearly describe the difference between meiosis and mitosis?
mitosis has two identical cells, meiosis result in 4 genetically different cells
where does fertilization always occur?
at the site of the egg
