Week 5 Lecture Flashcards
Does selective transport use energy?
No energy required so it is passive.
What are the two types of transport?
Selective and active transport.
What are examples of selective transport?
Osmosis and diffusion.
What may help selective transport?
It may be facilitated.
What does active transport use?
ATP
What are examples of active transport?
Co-transport and bulk transport.
What is tonicity?
One solution in reference to another solution.
What are the three levels of tonicity?
Hypotonic, isotonic, hypertonic
What is hypotonic?
Low concentration.
What is hypertonic?
High concentration.
What is diffusion?
Random movement of molecules.
What kind of transport is diffusion?
Passive transport.
How do molecules move during diffusion
Movement down the concentration gradient (from high to low)
What is a hypertonic cell during osmosis?
Water moves out and the cell shrinks (crenation)
What is a hypotonic cell during osmosis?
Water in and the cell swells (lysis)
How was water facilitated?
Aquaporins (water pores) speed up water movement.
What is osmosis?
Movement of water from a high solution to water solution.
What is carrier-mediated transport?
It is helped by proteins (channel and carrier).
What type of transport is facilitated diffusion?
Still passive.
