Question 31

Active transport

Answer 31

Requires energy

Includes transport by pumps and vesicles

Question 32

Diffusion

Answer 32

Passive transport of particles from an area of higher to lower concentration

Question 33

Concentration gradient

Answer 33

Difference in concentration from one point to another

Question 34

Osmosis

Answer 34

Difusión of water down the concentration gradient through selective permeable membrane

Question 35

Tonicity

Answer 35

The ability of a solution to affect the fluid volume and pressure in a cell through osmosis

Question 36

Isotonic

Answer 36

Solution a/same concentration (equal into and out of cell rate)
Cell remains normal

Question 37

Hypertonic

Answer 37

Solution w/higher concentration

Water will diffuse out of cell=shrivel
