movement through cells Flashcards
2 types of movement
passive and active
passive
doesnt require energy
active
requires energy
diffusion def
spreading out particles so they are evenly distributed over surface
what is concentration gradient
areas of high concentration moving to areas of low concentraton
how to speed up rate of diffusion
more stuff to diffuse, greater gradient
when do particles stop moving
equilibrium
what can pass the lipid
small fat soluble
e.g. of lipid pass
oxygen and carbon dioxide
what is essential for diffusion
differnt levels on either side
what substances can pass through lipid
oxygen and carbon dioxide
are therre always unequal amounts of carbon dioxide and oxygen in cells
oxygen is being used and carbon dioxide is being produced
oxygen in the cell, will have a concentration that is lower…
inside
carbon dioxide in the cell will have a concentration that is lower
outside
what typically moves through channel proteins
ions
