Rules of Passive Transport. Exam1 Flashcards
What is the second rule of passive transport?
The membrane must be selectively per able to a given substance
What’s the first rule of passive transport ?
Passive transport does not require added energy (use thermal energy already present in all molecules with a temperature )
What is the third rule of passive transport?
Molecules may move in both directions during passive transport
Passive transport is bi directional
What’s the fourth rule of passive transport?
Molecules, ions, or atoms always move form higher concentration to lower concentration shown by [ ]
What is the fifth rule of passive transport?
The movement of each species of particle by passive transport is considered separately
What is the sixth rule of passive transport?
The rate of passive diffusion of a particular substance (X) Is proportional to the permeability factor (P) and to the difference in [concentrations] on each side if a membrane
Rate=Px[Xout-Xin]
What is the permeability through water considered?
