Transport/diffusion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| circulation | intercellular; at the cellular level: diffusion, at the level of the organism: vascular tissue intracellular; cyclosis, ER, diffusion |
| absorption | materials pass through cell membrane |
| diffusion | the movement of molecules from high to low concentration until equilibrium is reached |
| factors of the rate of diffusion | size, temperature, pressure, solubility, condition of cell membrane, concentration gradient |
| osmosis | the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane |
| solutions | mixture of two or more substances where the molecules are evenly distributed |
| solvent | part of solution; does the dissolving |
| solute | part of solution; is dissolved |
| hypotonic | has less solute than the cell |
| hypertonic | has more solute than the cell |
| isotonic | same amount of solute as the cell |
| passive transport | movement of materials where no energy is required |
| active transport | movement of materials requiring energy |
