Osmosis Flashcards
quiz 12/19
Osmosis
facilitated diffusion of water,H20 moving from an area of high conc. to low conc.
Water uses.. and why
passive transport (doesn’t need extra energy) bc it’s polar moves thru facilitated diffusion
the protein water uses
aquaporin
where does water go
hypertonic solution
hypertonic
more solute and less water
hypotonic
less solution more water
what happens when an animal cell is in hypotonic environment
water goes in, swells, lyse, bursts open
what happens when an animal cell is in hypertonic environment
all the water leaves cell which leads to shriveling
what happens when an animal cell is in isotonic environment
that’s where it’s ideal
what happens when an plant cell is in hypotonic environment
turgid, all the water goes in which is what plant wants, “ideal”, central vacuole has lots of water
what happens when an plant cell is in hypertonic environment
water leaves and its called plasmolysis
what happens when an plant cell is in isotonic environment
flaccid, theres not enough water, plant will die, cell doesn’t touch cell wall which is what is ideal.
