Membrane Transport WK3 L2 Flashcards
WHAT IS SIMPLE DIFFUSION?
MOVEMENT OF PARTICLES FROM AREAS OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS TO AREAS OF LOW CONTRACTIONS THROUGH PHOSPHOLIPIDS
WHAT IS GOING AGAINST TEH GRADIENT?
THE MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES FROM AREAS OF LOWE CONCENTRATION TO AREAS OF HIGH CONCENTRATION
WHAT IS OSMOSIS?
WATER MOVING ALONG A CONCENTRATION GRADIENT FROM HIGHT TO LOW CONCENTRATION
IS OSMOSIS DIFFUSION OR FILTRATION?
DIFFUSION
IS OSMOSIS THE DIFFUSION OF ONLY WATER ON THE BODY?
YES
WHAT IS FILTRATION?
SUBSTANCES MOVING THROUGH MEMBRANES FROM HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
WHAT IS HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE?
FORCE EXERTED ON A MEMBRANE DUE TO WATER PRESSURE
WHAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF FILTRATION?
FILTRATION F NUTRIENTS THROUGH GAPS IN BLOOD CAPILLARIE WALLS INTO TISSUE FLUIDS
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT RATES OF DIFFUSION?
TEMPERATURES - MOLECULAR WEIGHT - STEEPNESS OF CONCENTRATED GRADIENT - MEMBRANE SURFACE AREA - MEMBRANE PERMIABILITY
DOES DIFFUSION HAPPEN FASTER OR SLOWER AT HIGH TEMPERATURES?
FASTER
DO LARGER MOLECULES DIFFUSE FASTER OR SLOWER?
SLOWER
IS THE FUSION BETTER OR WORSE IN A LARGER AREA
BETTER
DO SUBSTANCES THAT CAN GET THROUGH MEMBRANES EASIER DIFFUSE FASTER OR SLOWER?
FASTER
DOES WATER MOVE TO AREAS WITH HIGHER CONCENTRATION OR LOWER CONCENTRATION?
LOWER CONCENTRATION
WHAT ARE HIGHER SOLUTION CONCENTRATE SIDES CALLED?
HYPERTONIC
