Processes
Osmosis and Diffusion
Term | Definition |
---|---|
passive transport | the movement of particles without the use of ATP energy |
2 types of passive transport | osmosis and diffusion |
diffusion | particles move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration |
facilitated diffusion | type of diffusion with the help of protein channels |
osmosis | type of facilitated diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane with the help of aquaporins |
Hypotonic | a solution of low solutes compared to the solvent |
Hypertonic | a solution of high solutes compared to the solvent |
Isotonic | a solution of the same solutes and solvents |
Hypertonic solution | water moves out of the cell |
Hypotonic solution | water moves into cell |
Isotonic solution | water will move in and out of cell |
protein pump | proteins used in active transport |
active transport | movement of materials across a memebrane with the use of ATP energy and protein pumps |
aqauporin | a protein pump in which only water molecules can pass through |
ATP | supplies energy to protein pumps during active transport |
endocytosis | the process of molecules entering the cell |
exocytosis | the process of molecules exiting the cell |
phagocytosis | a type of endocytosis. an extension of the cytoplasm surrounds a particle and packages it within a food vacuole |
