A

DIFFUSION

21
Q

The _________ in the ________ _______ is the driving force of diffusion.

A

DIFFERENCE; CONCENTRATION GRADIENT

22

A

OSMOSIS

24
Q

This is a special type of diffusion, not a different method.

A

OSMOSIS

25
Q

Net diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane between two fluids with different water concentrations

A

OSMOSIS

26
Q

Equivalent solute concentration; results to normal cells

A

29
Q

Arrange the events that take place during gas exchange in mammals.

  • Oxygen-poor blood is carried back to the heart and pumped to the lungs.
  • Oxygen-rich blood is carried to the heart and pumped to the body.
  • O2 diffuses out from red blood cells into the body tissues, while CO2 diffuses into red blood cells from the body tissues.
  • CO2 diffuse out from red blood cells into the alveolar spaces of the lung, while O2 diffuses into red blood cells from air in the lungs
A

1) CO2 diffuse out from red blood cells into the alveolar spaces of the lung, while O2 diffuses into red blood cells from air in the lungs

2) Oxygen-rich blood is carried to the heart and pumped to the body.

3) O2 diffuses out from red blood cells into the body tissues, while CO2 diffuses into red blood cells from the body tissues.

  1. Oxygen-poor blood is carried back to the heart and pumped to the lungs.

Q
  • Fluids flow in OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS
  • Allowing for efficient transfer of HEAT, GASES, or SOLUTES between them
A

COUNTERCURRENT EXCHANGE

31
Q
  • Fluids flow in the SAME direction, causing the gradient between them to decrease rapidly, which limits the efficiency of the transfer of heat, gases, or solutes.

36
Q
  • Form of endocytosis where the cell engulfs extracellular fluid and dissolved substances into small vesicles, often referred to as “cell drinking.”
  • It is a non-specific process, meaning the cell takes in a variety of molecules from the surrounding fluid.
A

PINOCYTOSIS

37
Q
  • Process in which a cell, typically a white blood cell, engulfs large particles, such as pathogens or debris, into a vesicle called a phagosome.
  • This is a more specialized form of endocytosis that is used for defense against infections and cellular cleanup.
A

PHAGOCYTOSIS

38
Q
  • Selective form of endocytosis where specific molecules, such as hormones or nutrients, bind to receptors on the cell surface before being internalized in vesicles.
  • This process ensures the cell takes in only the substances it specifically needs, often with high efficiency.

39
Q

Process where the cell takes in substances by engulfing them in vesicles.

A

ENDOCYTOSIS

40
Q

Process where the cell expels substances by merging vesicles with the plasma membrane.

A

EXOCYTOSIS

41
Q

What is the meaning of LDL?

A

44
Q

Through this process, LDLs gain entrance to the cell?

A

ENDOCYTOSIS

45
Q
