Define Diffusion
|
Matter moving from high concentration to low until equilibrium is reached
|
|
What determines osmotic pressure?
|
the solute concentration.
|
|
What is the cell membrane also called in a cell?
|

|
Differentiate between passive and active transporters
|
passive trasporters travel from a low solute concentration to high solute concentration while active transporters go against the natural flow.

|
|
If the pH is higher then what does that say about the number of hydrogen ions?
|
There are less Hydrogen ions
|
|
Define Buffer

|
What elements are in proteins?
|
N,H,C,O
|
|
Why is an amino acid able to be used as a buffer?
|
Because the carboxyl group can donate a hydrogen ion and NH2 can accept a hydrogen ion
