Q

What are the two main main differences between diffusion and active transport

A
  1. ) Active transport expends energy from the cell while diffusion does not
  2. ) Since diffusion is a type of passive transport, the concentration gradient moves downward while active transport’s concentration gradient moves upwards

Q

Hypotonic

A

The concentration of waterOUTSIDE the cell is bigger than inside

The concentration of soluteINSIDE the cell is bigger than outside

17
Q

Hypertonic

A

The concentration of water INSIDE the cell is bigger than outside

The concentration of solute OUTSIDE is bigger than inside

18
Q

Isotonic

When the concentration of solutes outside and inside the cell are =, and the water inside and outside the cell is=

19
Q

How do charged particles pass through the cell membrane

A

Active Transport

20
Q

Active transport

A

Substances crossing the cell membrane that need the use of energy

21
Q

Diffusion

A

The simplest type of passive transport. the movement of molecules from a higher concentration to a lower one

22
Q

Concentration gradient

A

the difference in the concentration of molecules across a distance

23
Q

The ____ of ______ depends on the relative concentration of solutes (solids)

A

Net direction

Osmosis

24
Q

Contractile vacuoles

A

specialized organelles that remove excess water by pumping it out (requires energy

25
Q

Turgor pressure

A

The pressure that water molecules exert against the cell wall ( occurs in plants) (prevents wilting)

26
Q

Plasmomolysis

A

When cells shrink while being in a hypertonic enviorment

27
Q

Cytolisis

A

whare water diffuses into a cell to the point of bursting

28
Q

facilitated diffusion

A

a type of passive transport - a process used transporting molecules that cannot diffuse rapidly through cell membranes

29
Q

Carrier Proteins

A

protiens located within the cell membrane that transports large molecules/molecules that cannot dissolve in lipids

30
Q

Endocytosis

A

the process by which cells ingest or take in large molecules or fluid by engulfing itand forming a vesicle around it

31
Q

Pinocytosis

A

Can engulf with fluids or solutes

32
Q

Phagocytosis

A

engulfs large solutes

33
Q

exocytosis
