Q

Tonicity

A
  • determines direction of osmosis
  • low tonicity = high water, low solute
  • high tonicity = low water, high solute
17
Q

Protein Types

A

integral

peripheral

18
Q

Simple Diffusion

A
  • high —-> low
  • small, uncharged particles
  • food color in H2O
19
Q

Facilitated Diffusion

A
  • high —–> low WITH the help of special transport proteins
  • large and charged molecules
  • glucose
20
Q

Opposite!

A

LOW tonicity HIGH water

HIGH tonicity LOW water

21
Q

2 Functions of Cell Membrane

A
  1. maintain internal environment

2. regulate movement of molecules into and out of the cell

22
Q

Osmosis

A

water goes from hight to low

23
Q

3 Types of Passive Transport

A
  1. simple
  2. facilitated
  3. osmosis
24
Q

Active Transport

A
  • movement up the concentration gradient

- require energy

25
Q

Selectively Semi-Permeable Membrane

A

cells allow only some molecules to pass through

26
Q

Protein Pump

A

carrier protein shuttles substance through cell membrane

27
