| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Isotonic | Same, concentration of solute is equal to that inside of the cell, cell doesn't lose or gain water. |
| Hypertonic | Above, higher concentration of solute outside cell causing movement out of the cell causing the cell to shrivel. |
| Hypotonic | Below, lower concentration of solute outside the cell causing water into cell. Cell swells. |
| Diffusion | Passive movement of molecules from high to low concentration, evenly distributes molecules. |
| Osmosis | Type of diffusion in water. Movement of molecules through semipermeable membrane from low to high concentration. |
| Facilitated diffusion | Type of diffusion. Molecules move across cell membrane through protein channels. |
| Passive transport | Movement on molecules through cell membrane without using energy (ATP). High to low concentration. |
| Active transport | Movement of molecules through cell membrane using energy (ATP) from low to high concentration. |
| Cell membrane | Controls what goes in and out of cell. |
| Phospholipid Bilayer | Consists of 2 layers of phospholipids. |
| Phospholipid molecules | Every phospholipid is made with a hydrophobic head and a hydrophilic tail |
| Hydrophobic | "Water - fearing" |
| Hydrophilic | "Water - loving" |
| Receptors | Bind to specific molecules to trigger a reaction to outside environment. |
| Tonicity | describes a solution to cause the cell to gain or lose water. Due to amount of salt present, |
