Uptake of water and mineral salts Flashcards
Some liquids can pass through it.
Permeable
A membrane which bounds the chief vacuole of a plant cell.
Tonoplast
Process of moving molecules across a cellular membrane through the use of cellular energy.
Active Transport
Movement of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane.
Osmosis
Movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Diffusion
The movement of water and mineral elements from the source to the sink.
Translocation
Water molecules stick to the xylem they are moving through.
Adhesion
Water molecules attract each other.
Cohesion
