Natural movement of particles from areas of high to low concentration until concentration is uniform throughout (Dynamic Equilibrium). (ie. breathing)

62

  2. Hypertonic (cell or solution)

  3. Isotonic (cell or solution)

65
New cards

Hypotonic Solution

(Hypo = losing water) Solution has more water to solute than cell. Water will flow into cell, causing cell to swell - may burst (lysis) - if plant cell, turgor pressure will develop. (Opposite applies for cell)

66
New cards

Lysis

When a cell bursts

67
New cards

Hypertonic Solution

(Hyper = gaining water) Solution has less water to solute than cell. Water will flow out of cell, causing cell to shrink. (Opposite applies for cell)

68
New cards

Isotonic Solution

(Iso = equal water) Water to solute ratio of solution is equal to that of cell.

69
New cards

Cell Transport (PT) - Facilitated Diffusion

  1. Carrier protein (binding)

  2. Channel protein (not binding)

70
New cards

71
New cards

Facilitated Diffusion - Channel Protein
