Question
Answer
What is passive transport?   The movement of a substance across a membrane DOWN the concentration gradient.  
🗑
Is diffusion passive or active transport?   Passive because solutes go from higher concentration to lower concentration.  
🗑
What is concentration gradient?   the process of particles moving through a solution from an area of higher number of particles to an area of lower number of particles.  
🗑
How do we know when a system has reached equilibrium?   when both sides are moving equally  
🗑
What is osmosis?   Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane  
🗑
How does osmosis relate to solute concentrations?   When solute concentration is lower, the concentration of water is higher, and when the solute concentration is higher, the concentration of water is lower.  
🗑
Isotonic solution   When the concentration of two solutions is the same  
🗑
Hypertonic solution   when comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solutes  
🗑
Hypotonic solution   when comparing two solutions, the solution with the lesser concentration of solutes  
🗑
Compare Passive Transport and Facilitated Diffusion   They both move things across cell membranes going from high to low.  
🗑
Contrast Passive Transport and Facilitated Diffusion   Passive transport slips through the membrane, but diffusion needs help from protein.  
🗑


   

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.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
