LAB 6 TERMS
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Simple Diffusion | occurs when all molecules can move freely through the membrane |
| Facilitated Diffusion | occurs when a molecule or molecules can only pass through specific protein channels in the membrane |
| Passive Transport | particle move without using energy, from high to low concentration |
| Passive Transport Examples | Simple Diffusion, Facilitated Diffusion, and Osmosis |
| Osmosis | the net movement of water molecules through a permeable membrane, from areas of LOW SOLUTE(high water) to HIGH SOLUTE(low water) |
| Active Transport | energy supplied via ATP is used to move a particle from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration |
| Conductivity Probe | measure the ability of a solution to conduct an electric current between its two electrodes |
| Multiple Small or One Large Cell is better? | Multiple small cells, they conduct more energy than one large cell. A large surface-to-volume ratio means more resistance to electrical flow |
| Hypertonic | Leads to shriveling |
| Hypotonic | Leads to bursting |
| Isotonic | Will not gain or lose water, wat molecules enter and leave at an equal rate |
