membrane structure and function
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| selectively permeable | some substances can cross through the membrane while other cannot, |
| Membranes also | form compartments within the cell. therefore different organelles can perform different task simultaneously |
| cell membrane contains two layers of | phospholipids |
| phospholipids has a | polar head region and two nonpolar tails. |
| Diffusion | is the tendency for molecules to spread out from a region of high concentration to low concentration. |
| equalibrium | where there are no high concentrations and low concentration regions. |
| Diffusion does not require | energy |
| passive transport | is simple diffusion across the membrane. |
| active transport | requires energy to move across the membrane. |
| bulk transport | exocytosis and endocytosis |
| osmosis | is the passive transport of water. |
| anything dissolved in water is a | solute |
| water is the | solvent |
| Hypertonic solutions | has less water and more solutes than a hyptonic one. |
| Hypotonic solution | has more water and less solutes than hypertonic one |
| two isotonic | solutions have the same concentrations of water and solutes. |
| Red blood cells : A hypertonic solution outside the cell will cause | water to leave the cell. The cell will shrivel. |
| Red blood cells: A hypotonic solution outside the cell will cause | water to enter the cell. The cell may take up so much water that it may burst (lyse |
| red blood cells: An isotonic solution outside the cell will cause | no net movement of water. This is the ideal situation for an animal cell. |
| For plant cells: A hypertonic solution outside the cell will cause | water to leave the cell. The cell will shrivel and the plant will wilt and possibly die. plasmolysis |
| for plant cells: A hypotonic solution outside the cell will cause | water to enter the cell. However, a plant cell will not burst, because the cell wall will prevent excessive water uptake. The cell is turgid. This is the ideal situation for a plant cell. |
| for plant cells: An isotonic solution outside the cell will cause | the cell to be flaccid, and the plant will wilt. |
