PART 2🙄 Flashcards
The amount of solute in a solution
Concentration
The mixture of the solute and the liquid substance
Solution
The material dissolved in the liquid substance
Solute
The gradual difference in the concentration of solutes
Concentration Gradient
The two types of Cellular Transport
Passive and Active Transport
Does not need a protein to pass through the cell membrane; high to low concentration
Simple Diffusion
Occurs in a liquid medium; thus, water is the key factor to its kind
Osmosis
This kind of transport requires a Semipermeable membrane
Osmosis
A type of cellular transport that does not require energy
Passive Transport
A type of cellular transport that “goes with the flow” or generally depends on the concentration gradient
Passive Transport
High concentration to low concentration
Passive Transport
The type of transport that is known for its ‘reoccurring’ characteristic; hence, it’s always in need of energy
Active Transport
The type of cellular transport to go against the concentration gradient
Active Transport
It requires ATP to hydrolysis releasing energy to power the cellular transport
Active Transport
a chemical reaction that involves the breaking of a bond in a molecule using water.
Hydrolysis
The movement of various ions across the cell membrane; against their concentration gradient; directly uses the hydrolysis of ATP
Primary Active Transport (PAT)
Uses paring and coupling among other ions to ‘hitch’ with them as they enter the cell membrane; does not directly use the hydrolysis of ATP
Secondary Active Transport (SAT)
Type of SAT that states that both substances move in the same direction; inside
Symport
Type of SAT that states that both substances take a different direction; outside
Antiport
Type of Cellular Transport that involves the movement of large particles or fluids
Vesicular Transport
Type of Cellular Transport that is essential for a variety of cellular functions, including the intake of nutrients, secretion of molecules, and removal of waste.
Vesicular Transport
Involves the engulfing of large particles like bacteria or cellular debris. The plasma membrane extends around the particle to form a phagosome, which later fuses with a lysosome for digestion.
Phagocytosis
The process by which cells take in substances from the external environment by engulfing them in a vesicle formed from the plasma membrane.
Endocytosis
is a cellular process by which cells move materials, such as proteins, lipids, or waste products, from inside the cell to the outside environment.
Exocycotis
(“cell drinking”): Involves the uptake of extracellular fluid and dissolved solutes into small vesicles. It’s a non-specific process that allows the cell to sample the surrounding environment.
Pinocycotis
