NEED MORE PRACTICE WITH Flashcards
passive transport
passive net movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lowconcentration.
Osmosis
the passive net water molecules across cell membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration
Hypotonic solutio
lower solute concentration outside the cell than inside the cell
Hypertonic solution
higher solute concentration outside the cell than inside the cell
lysed/hameoylsis
when Water enters an animal cell causing it to swell enough to rupture the cell membrane in of a hypotonic solute
turgid
when water enters the plant cell in hypotonic solutions and causes the vacuole to expand and to squeeze the cytoplasm against the cell wall, hence the cell is said to be turgid
Crenation
when Water moves out of the cell causing the cell to shrink and crinkle in hypertonic solutions
plasmolysis
Water moves out of the cell causing it to shrink - The cell wall maintains cell shape the cell in hypertonic solutions
what happens in Hypotonic solution
Water enters the cell causing it to swell enough to rupture the cell membrane, when this happens the cell is said to be become lysed
In plant cells, Water enters the cell and passes into the vacuole causing vacuole swells and squeezes the cytoplasm against the cell wall the cell hence, is said to be turgid
What happens in Hypertonic solution
In animal cells, crenation-
Water moves out of the cell causing the cell to shrink and crinkle
In plant cells, the cell goes into a state of plasmolysis as water leaves the cell but the cell maintains its shape because of the cell wall
Active transport
The active net movement of a substance with the use ATP from an an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
How does active tranposrt take place
Membrane transport proteins use energy from ATP to move molecules or ions against the concentration gradient
Facilitated diffusion
the passive net movement of molecules across the plasma membrane through transport proteins from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration
What do the protein molecules embedded in the plasma membrane do
allow for passive transport of small polar and hydrophilic substances in out of the cell
allows for cell communication; cells to recieve signals
describe the passage ways of channel proteins andwhat diffuses through them
Narrow passageways through which water molecules and ion diffuse rapidly from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high soluteconcentraiton
what istonic solution does a plantcell have
flaccid
What is the difference between simple and facilated diffusion
Their identical EXCEPT facilicated diffusion requires channel and carrier proteins
simple diffusion
movement of molecuels down a concentration graident, frm an area of high concetraiton to anrea of low concentration through a semi permable membrnae
process of endocytsosis
1.Folding of the plasma membrane
2.Vesicle forms around molecules being transported
3.Contents released within the cell
process of exocytosis
1.Molecules enclosed in a vesicle
2.Vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane
3.Contents released
