Lab 3 Flashcards
Movement of molecules along the concentration gradient until equilibrium is achieved
Diffusion
Regulates certain materials going through the cell membrane
Selective permeability
Movement of molecules across the cell membrane without the use of energy
Passive transport
Difference between the high amount of material and low amount of material
Concentration gradient
Movement of water along the concentration gradient across selectively permeable membrane
Osmosis
Movement of molecules across the cell membrane with the use of energy against the concentration gradient
Active transport
Cell loses water and shrivels up
Crenation
Cells gain water and swells up
Lysis
Same solute concentration in and out of the cell
Isotonic
Solute concentration is less in the environment
Hypotonic
What way will water move if the solution is hypotonic?
Into the cell
More solution concentration in the environment
Hypertonic
What way will water move if the solution is hypertonic?
Out of the cell
