Movement Across Boundaries Flashcards
Osmosis and diffusion are ______ processes
Random molecular motion
Integral proteins are _______ mechanism
Transport
Large things pass through the membrane through ____
Endocytosis
T or F. Diffusion is random consequence of temperature.
True
What is the rule of diffusion?
Substance moves from areas of high free energy to low free energy until it reaches equilibrium
What is osmosis?
The diffusion of water
What are types of movement across membranes?
Passive and active
What is passive transport?
Diffusion by random molecular motion
Define: active transport
Transport through the cell using energy
T or F. Active transport can move from low free energy to high free energy
True.
What are the 3 ways that things can enter the cell?
Through random molecular motion, transport mechanisms and endocytosis
What are the three types of ports?
Antiport, symport and uniport
How many molecules go through the uniport?
One
What happens in a symport?
It takes two molecules going in the same direction
What happens in an antiport?
Two molecules go through in different directions
