1.3B Transport

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
concentration gradient   difference in concentration of molecules inside and outside the plasma membrane  
🗑
diffusion   movement of molecules rom higher to lower concentration  
🗑
facilitated diffusion/transport   molecules enter carrier, combine with carrier, cause a change in shape of the carrier which allows molecule's release on other side of carrier  
🗑
hypertonic solutions   solutions that cause cells to shrink or shrivel due to loss of water. (adding salt)  
🗑
hypotonic   solutions that cause cells to swell or burst due to intake of water  
🗑
isotonic solutions   makes no change to water content of cell as is same.  
🗑
lysis   shrinking of cells due to removal of water  
🗑
osmosis   movement of water across differentially permeable membrane due to concentration differences.  
🗑
osmotic pressure   the force that causes water to move in that direction.  
🗑
passive transport   diffusion or facilitated transport. tend to move from higher to lower concentration.  
🗑
turgor pressure   in plants, pressure between cell wall and plasma membrane to maintain structure  
🗑
plasmolysis   when plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall as the large central vacuole loses water.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
