Quest I Flashcards
The constant, random motion of molecules is called
Molecular motion
the diffusion of water specifically is
osmosis
What regulates materials that come into and out of a cell
The cell memebrane
What are 2 words that best describe the cell membrane
Selectively permeable
What are the substances dissolved in a solevent
Solutes
A _____ is a mixture of evenly dispersed substances
Solution
______ are proteins found within the cell membrane that help transport large molecules into and out of cells
Carrier protiens
___ is a type of active transport that moves liquid into a cell
Penocytosis
The state of _____ is the ultimate outcome of diffusion
Equilibrium
What are the two main main differences between diffusion and active transport
- ) Active transport expends energy from the cell while diffusion does not
- ) Since diffusion is a type of passive transport, the concentration gradient moves downward while active transport’s concentration gradient moves upwards
What is passive transport?
Substances crossing the cell membrane without using energy
what are 2 examples of passive transport
Diffusion
plasmolysis
what is concentration gradient
The difference in the concentration of molecules across a distance
How does concentration gradient affect passive transport
concentration gradient is what helps substances move without energy. ( which is passive transport
Semipermeable
It only lets certain subtances pass
