Transportation and Solutions Flashcards
What’s passive transportation?
Transportation of the cell that does not need ATP/energy. Instead uses kinetic energy to move from high to low concentration. (down concentration gradient)
Types of passive transportation
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis
What is active transport?
ATP is needed for active transportation. goes against concentration gradient so low to high.
Examples of active transportation
absorption of nutrients
NA+/K+ pump
Solution =
Solute + solvent
hypertonic =
envirnonment that has more solute
hypotonic=
environmnt that has less solute
isotonic=
equal amounts of solute on both sides
IN AN ANIMAL CELL if the cell is hypertonic and the outside is hypotonic which way is water going?
Water goes into the cell/hypertonic environment. Cell not happy
IN AN ANIMAL CELL if the cell is hypotonic and the outside is hypertonic which way is water going?
Water goes out of the cell/hypotonic environment. Cell not happy will shrivel up
IN AN ANIMAL CELL if the cell is isotonic and the outside is isotonic which way is water going?
Will flow equally inside and out of cell. Happy reached equilibrium.
we always want to be like this.
IN A PLANT CELL if the cell is hypertonic and the outside is hypotonic which way is water going?
Going into the cell. Cell is happy like this “Turgid” Water pushing cell membrane against cell wall.
IN A PLANT CELL if the cell is hypotonic and the outside is hypertonic which way is water going?
Going out of cell. Cell not happy membrane shrivels up while cell wall stays rigid. How plants die. called plasmolysis
IN A PLANT CELL if the cell is isotonic and the outside is isotonic which way is water going?
Equally in and out. Cell not happy but not sad its meh. would rather be turgid. ITs flacid
