Lab 2 Flashcards
Diffusion
High concentration to low concentration, Passive process, moves solute
Osmosis
Diffusion of water through a selective semi-permeable membrane, solvent (water) moves, passive process
Tonicity
The amount of pressure to stop water.
Solute
The thing that is being dissolved in the solution.
Solvent
Dissolving or carrying the solute (water)
Solution
Solute + Solvent
Isotonic (homeostasis)
Concentration inside and outside the cell are same.
Hypotonic
Solute concentration is less than outside the cell than inside the cell. So cells get bigger.
Hypertonic
Solute concentration is greater than inside the cell. Cells shrink
Hemolysis
Red blood cell splits (explodes)
Crenation
Cell shrinks
Filtration
Forced movement of a liquid across a membrane whose pore size restricts the passage of solutes.
ATP
Energy active transport
Vesicular transport
Cellular packing
Endocytosis
Vesicular transport of large molecules into cell
