AB
transportmovement across membrane without use of energy
homeostasisa steady state producing a constant internal environment
cell membranehelps maintain homeostasis by controlling and regulating what goes into and out of the cell
molecules that are in constant motion travel in ___________ linesstraight
molecules that are in constant motion bump into ___________something
molecules that are in constant motion travel in straight lines in different directions or ___________random motion
molecules tend to move ______________into areas of less concentration
cytolysisreverse cells take in so much H2O and burst
an example of cytolysis is ______________red blood cells
single celled organisms: ______________ environmenthypotonic
single celled organisms are hypotonic in relationship - H2O ________ into celldiffuses
contractile vacuolesremoves excess H2O - contracting and squeezing water out
cells in multicellular organisms respond to hypotonic environments ______________pumping solutes out of cytosol
facilitated diffusionmolecules that cannot diffuse rapidly through membrane - not soluble in lipids or too large
molecules that cannot diffuse rapidly through membrane are assisted by _____________-specific proteins - carrier proteins
Three steps to facilitated diffusion:bind, change, release
carrier proteins binds __________________to a molecule on one side of a membrane
carrier proteins change ___________shape - shielding from nonpolar molecules
carrier proteins are released ____________-from one side
transport of glucose has two properties to __________________help substances move in either direction and specific for one type of molecule
ion channelsprotein - passageway which an ion can diffuse
important ions:Na+, K+, Ca2+, Cl+
some ions are open...others have ______-gates
Three kinds of stimuli (of ions)stretching of membrane, electrical signals, chemicals
diffusionmovement of molecules from an area of greater to an area of lesser concentration
concentration gradientdifference in concentration of a substance across a space
substances then to move down a concentration gradient toward ___________________-an area of lower concentration
equilibriuma state that exists when concentration of a substance is the same throughout the space
diffusion across a membrane - dissolve in ___________lipids
nonpolar examplesCO2, O2
permeableallowing substances to pass through
ability of a molecule to pass through a membrane depends _________________on the size and type of molecule
osmosisdiffusion of H2O through a membrane from an area where H2O is more concentrated
net direction of H2O molecules depends ___________on concentration of solutes on two sides of membrane
when concentration of solute molecules outside cell is lower than concentration in cytosol _______________solution outside is hypotonic
hypo = _____________lower
lower concentration of solutes and _______________higher concentration of H2O molecules
in osmosis, a cell in this type of solution ______H2O will diffuse out of cell until equilibrium is reached
concentration of solutes outside and inside are ___________equal
when the concentration of solutes outside and inside are equal - outside _______________solution is isotonic to cytosol
ISO = ____________equal/no net movement of water
the prefixes hypo-, hyper- and iso- refer to the __________concentration of solutes
cell - no control over _________osmosis
direction H2O diffuses depends _____-on H2O concentration
Tungor pressure ____________pressure that builds up within cell as H2O diffuses into cell
With Tungor pressure, pressure forces contents ________against cell wall - cell firm
With Tungor pressure, pressure is _____________maintained - hypotonic environment
in a hypotonic environment, water ____________moves in
in a hypotonic environment, it loses ___________H2O or gains solutes - hypertonic - condition - plasmolysis occurs
Plasmolysisshrinking of cell due to water loss (wilting)
in plasmolysis, H2O _____________leaves cell/tungar pressure is lost
