science Flashcards
Homeostasis
The process of maintaining equilibrium in the cells internal environment, a resistance to change
Diffusion
From high concentration to low concentration
Hydrophilic
Water loving
Hydrophobic
Water fearing
Hypertonic
The water leaves the cell
Hypotonic
The water is going in the cell
Isotonic
Equilibrium
Osmosis
Diffusion of water moving high to low
Solute
Substance being dissolved in another substance
Solvent
Substance that dissolves another substance
Ex: water
Passive transport
Does not require energy high to low
Active transport
Require energy low to high
What are the two types of passive transport?
Diffusion(small) and facilitated(big)
What is the difference between active and passive transport?
Active- energy
Passive- no energy
What does the phospholipid bilayer membrane look like and what are the parts?
Proteins and phospholipid
Exocytosis
Leaving the cell
Endocytosis
Coming in the cell
Equilibrium
Molecules moving until it’s even
Facilitated diffusion
Pathway provided by transport protein that helps certain molecules pass through a membrane
Selectively permeable membrane
Membrane that allows some substances pass more easily than other and blocks the passage of some substance altogether
Cohesion
Same molecules that stick together
Adhesion
Attract between unlike molecules
Solution
Mixture of 2 things
Polar molecules
Molecules in which opposite ends have opposite electric charges
