Membranes Flashcards
Unsaturated fats in the membrane make it?
Fluidy
Saturated fats in the membrane make it?
Thicker viscous
High concentration to low
Diffusion
Does diffusion require energy
No
Diffusion of water? What gradient does it flow to? Does it need energy?
Osmosis, no, no
Do hydrophilic molecules or hydrophobic molecules pass through the membrane easier?
Hydrophobic
How much solute is in a solution is?
Tonicity
When there is more water outside the cell than inside?
Hypertonic
When there is more water in the cell
Hypo tonic
Equilibrium of water in the cell and the solute.
Isotonic
Plants want to be ISO, hypo, or hyper tonic
Hypo more water
Animals want to be hypo, ISO, or hyper tonic?
ISO. Too much burst, too little shrivel
When a cell bursts from being too hypotonic
Lysis
When a plant cell is swelled from water intake?
Turgid
High to low concentration. No energy required
Fascillitated diffusion
