transport Flashcards
cells need what to stay alive
gradients
diffusion
movement of moleucles form high concentration to low (spontaneously)
rate of diffusion depends on
extent of gradient charge
mass of molecules diffusion
temp
solvent density
solubility
surfce area/ plasma membrane thickness
distance traveled
osmosis
movement of water from low solute concentration to high thru a semipermeable membrane
hypertonic
high solute concentration
isotonic solution
balaneced solution
hypotonic solution
low solute concentration
turgor pressure
(plant) using the vacule full up water to push membrane again the cell wall
passve transport
movemnt thru membrane that requires no energy
uses concentration gradient
channels
allows free passage of ions
gated channels
opened/close in repsonce to stimulus
carrier protien
movement is specific
shit docks with each other
active transport
needs energy (ATP)
moves stuff agasint the gradient
low to high
needs carrier protiens
uniporters
move one molecule at a time
