Osmosis Flashcards
A __________________ solution is one in which there are fewer dissolved molecules outside the cell than inside it.
Hypotonic
In a Hypotonic solution, water moves _________ the cell, causing it to swell and possibly burst.
into
A ___________ solution is one in which there are more dissolved molecules outside the cell than inside it. Water moves_______________ the cell, Causiong it to shrink and shrivel
Hypertonic, out
What is an isotonic solution?
When the stufff outside the cell is equal to the inside.
The movement of molecules across a cell membrane without the input of energy
Passive transport, diffusion is a form of passive transport
The process during which special transport proteins help molecules move across the cell membrane when they cannot simply cross on their own.
Facilitative diffusion
proteins create passageways for molecules to move across the cell membrane
proteins bind and carry molecules across the cell membrane
Channel proteins and carrier proteins
The process during which molecules move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. Energy, usually in the form of ATP is required.
Active transport
Carrier proteins are nicknamed:
