New cards
what is simple diffusion?
* Type of passive transport
* move from __high__ to __low__ concentration (down the concentration gradient)
* no energy or membrane required
2
New cards
why is simple diffusion considered a passive process?
no energy is used to make the molecules move, they have a natural kinetic energy.
3
New cards
explain what happens to a drop of food coloring put into a beaker of water.
It’s diffused from higher to lower concentration.
4
New cards
What does moving down the concentration gradient mean?
When solutes moving through a membrane from high to low concentration.
5
New cards
Give & explain 2 examples of simple diffusion.
Oxygen moving out of the lungs (high concentration) into the red blood cells (low concentration).

CO2 moving out of erythrocytes (high concentration) into the lungs (low concentration).
6
New cards
what is osmosis?
the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
7
New cards
if water potential is HIGH, what is solute concentration?
low
8
New cards
if water potential is LOW, what is solute concentration?
high
9
New cards
how does water potential move?
from high water potential to low water potential
10
New cards
what do aquaporins do?
speed up the diffusion of water osmosis
11
New cards
how are aquaporins formed?
by channels/pores in integral proteins (channel proteins).
12
New cards
are aquaporins closed or open?
they’re __always open__
13
New cards
sketch pictures of cells in isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic environments & show the direction of water movement
\:)
14
New cards
what is the net movement of water & what happens to HYPOTONIC cells?
net movement: water enters the cell

cell expands & eventually bursts
15
New cards
what is the net movement of water & what happens to HYPERTONIC cells?
net movement: water leaves cell

cell shrinks
16
New cards
what is the net movement of water & what happens to ISOTONIC cells?
no net movement

cell stays the same size
17
New cards
what is plasmolysis?
when water moves out of a cell & the cell shrinks in size
18
New cards
what is cytolysis?
when water moves into a cell & the cell swells and bursts
19
New cards
what is hemolysis?
when erythrocytes (red blood cells) are placed in distilled water & they swell and burst
20
New cards
what is crenation?
when erythrocytes (red blood cells) are placed in salty water & they shrivel
21
New cards
what happens when erythrocytes are placed in an isotonic solution?
they will maintain normal shape with no net movement of water.
22
New cards
which environments do plants prefer?
hypotonic
23
New cards
which environments do animals prefer?
isotonic
24
New cards
why don’t plant cells burst in hypotonic solutions?
because of their cell wall
25
New cards
when do plants have high osmotic pressure?
in hypotonic environments
26
New cards
what is facilitated diffusion?
* type of passive transport
* moves materials down the concentration gradient (high to low) using transport proteins
* doesn’t require energy
27
New cards
what is active transport?
* requires ATP
* uses transport proteins to move against the concentration gradient (low to high concentration)
* often uses carrier proteins/pumps
28
New cards
what are the 4 passive transport mechanisms?

1. simple diffusion
2. osmosis
3. facilitated diffusion
4. filtration
29
New cards
what is filtration?
* the movement from high pressure to low pressure.
* one way that your kidneys process/filter your blood.
30
New cards
what does a pump do?
moves things from low to high concentration (active transport)
31
New cards
name 3 materials that move into or out of cells by facilitated diffusion.
glucose, amino acids, and ions
32
New cards
name 2 categories of transport proteins found in cell membranes
channel proteins & carrier proteins
33
New cards
where are channel proteins found & explain their pore?
they’re embedded in the cell membrane & have a pore for materials to cross passively through facilitated diffusion.
34
New cards
are channel proteins open or closed?
some are always opened, while others are gated & require a stimulus to open them
35
New cards
what are channel proteins used for?
used to move ions like Na+, Cl-, and K+
36
New cards
what are some properties of channel proteins?
* they’re integral/specific
* they include aquaporins used in osmosis
37
New cards
how do carrier proteins help move materials across a cell membrane?
They bind to the substance & drag the molecule through the membrane and release it on the other side. They may change shape.
38
New cards
do all carrier proteins extend across the cell membrane?
No, they can go part of the way through the membrane.
39
New cards
are carrier proteins specific or not specific?
carrier proteins used in facilitated diffusion & active transport are __specific__
40
New cards
what are all pumps?
proteins involved in active transport
41
New cards
give an example of an antiport & what does it do?
sodium-potassium pump is an antiport that returns sodium ions to outside the cell membrane (where it’s concentrated) & return potassium ions to inside the cell membrane (where it’s concentrated)
42
New cards
give an example of a uniport & what does it do?
proton pumps are uniports that move H+ ions & are very important in plants
43
New cards
what is the rate at which the sodium-potassium pump moves ions?
it moves 3 sodium ions out of the cell for every 2 potassium ions moved into the cell.
44
New cards
what is resting membrane potential?
the voltage across the cell that is created by the sodium-potassium pump’s movement.
45
New cards
what is the RMP of the cell membrane?
\-70mv
46
New cards
what is systic fibrosis?
Thickened mucus due to a channel protein problem.
47
New cards
how do local anesthetics work?
they block sodium from entering the cell to there is no nerve impulse.

OR

negative ions go in to make it harder for nerves to respond.
48
New cards
what is phagocytosis?
“cell eating”

involves extension of cell membrane to form “pseudopods”
49
New cards
what is pinocytosis?
“cell drinking”
