osmosis / diffusion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what type of passive cell transport occurs through a semi-permiable membrane? | osmosis |
| what type of passive cell transport occus through a permeable membrane? | diffusion |
| isotonic | equal amount of water and salt |
| hypotonic | more water, less salt (ruptured blood cell) |
| hypertonic | less water, less salt (crenated blood cell) |
| acidic ph solution? | <7 |
| alkaline ph solution? | >7? |
| Neutral ph solution? | 7 |
| natural ph of blood? | 7.4 |
| osmosis | water travels from a high concentration to a low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane |
| diffusion | molecules or ions (solute) moving from a high concentration to an area of low concentration |
| solute | what is being dissolved (eg salt, sugar) |
| solvent | what is dissolving the solute (eg, water, vinegar) |
