Transport (osmosis) Flashcards
Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
osmosis
Osmosis continues until the solutions are ___
isotonic
A fluid mechanical pressure resulting to pressure gradient across a semipermeable membrane
hydrostatic pressure
The differences in hydraulic pressure of a solution and water
osmotic pressure
When two aqueous solutions exert the same osmotic pressure through membrane permeable only to water
isosmotic
If one solution exerts less osmotic pressure
hypoosmotic
if one solution exerts greater osmotic pressure
hyperosmotic
the concentration of a solution expressed as the total number of solute particles per liter
osmolarity
response of cells or tissues immersed in the solution
tonicity
osmotic pressure property of a solution
osmoticity
no osmotic pressure difference between the cell and the solution
isotonic solution
if the tissue swells because water absorbs,, the solution is ___
hypotonic
if the tissue shrinks because it loses water, the solution is ___
hypertonic
Animal cell in hypo, iso, and hypertonic solution
lysed, normal, shriveled
Plant cell in hypo, iso, and hypertonic solution
turgid, flaccid, plasmolyzed
Hydrostatic pressure that puts cell walls in tension
turgor pressure
Movement of molecules through transmembrane proteins
Facilitated diffusion/ passive transport
Two kinds of transport proteins
channel and carrier
water-filled pore or channel in the membrane allows charge substances to diffuse across membrane
diffusion through membrane channel
small organic compounds that specifically transports ions across plasma membrane
ionophores
transports single solute from one side of the membrane to the other
uniporters
transfer solutes in the same direction
symporters
transfers solutes in the opposite directions
antiporters
