CELL TRANSPORT
Created by denacprice
-
Solution has more particles and less water causing water to flow out of cell and cell to shrink. _______________________________________
Hypertonic
-
Solution has less particles and more water causing water to flow into cell and cell to swell or lead to lysis. _______________________________________
Hypotonic
-
There is a balance in particles and water molecules within solution and cell. ________________________________________
Isotonic
-
A process resulting from osmosis in which cells, in a hypertonic solution, shrink and acquire a scalloped surface.____________________________
Crenation
-
A particle or substance that is dissolved within another substance. _______________________________________
Lysis
-
PARTICLES moving from an area of HIGHER concentration TO LESSER concentration. _______________________________________
Diffusion
-
WATER moving from an area of HIGHER concentration of water TO LOWER concentration of water. _______________________________________
Osmosis
-
When proteins cross cell membrane going AGAINST GRADIENT (going from low to high); requires energy to complete this transport - uses ATP . _______________________________________
Active Transport
-
When a membrane allows some molecules to pass through but not others; depends on charge, size and lipid soluability. _______________________________________
Selective Permeability
-
A particle or substance that is dissolved within another substance. _______________________________________
Solute
