transport through the membrane Flashcards
definition of passive transport
- diffusion of a substance across a membrane with no energy required.
- high to low concentration
- semi-permeable: in front of membrane
what are 3 passive ways?
diffusion, osmosis,and facilitated diffusion
definition of diffusion
- high to low concentration
- molecule move without energy
- continue moving until they cover available space
osmosis is ..?
water
facilitated diffusion is…?
aided by protein
3 forms of osmosis
hypertonic,hypotonic,and isotonic
hypertonic is..?
to much salt than is needed
-water enters
hypotonic is…?
not enough salt
-water exits
isotonic is…?
concentration is in between
-equal amount of water enter and exit
define active transport
movement against concentration gradient. require energy
3 ways of active transport?
exocytosis, endocytosis, and sodium pump
exocytosis is…?
secreting large molecules and substance out of the cell
endocytosis is…?
taking in large substance
sodium pump is..?
moving Na and K against (up) the concentration gradient.
describe the movement of water across a cell membrane..
WATER CHASES SALT
net diffusion of water will go towards area with higher amount of cell
