Passive Transport
No E required
Diffusion
the movement of molecules across a membrane, down the concentration gradient
Osmosis
simple diffusion of water across a semi-permiable membrane
Isotonic
solute levels equal on both sides of membrane, no net movement
Hypertonic
solution outside cell has HIGH solute concentrations relative to concentrations inside cell, net movement of H2O out of cell, can lead to crenation
Hypotonic
solution outside cell has LOW solute concentrations relative to concentrations inside cell, net movement of H2O into cell, can lead to lysis
Crenation
cell shrivels as a result of water moving outward to hypertonic exterior solution
Lysis
cell ruptures due to water moving into it from a hypotonic solution
Active Transport
E required, goes against concentration gradient (L to H), uses ATP and transport proteins, example = NaK pump
Vesicular Transport
transportation of large molecules or large quantities of small molecules
Exocytosis
export of bulky materials out of a cell
Endocytosis
import of materials into a cell
Phagocytosis
'eating' of materials by a cell, endocytosis process, cell engulf molecule
What happens to the cells from 'water intoxication'?
the solutes in the body become too diluted. Another name for water intoxication could be Hyponatremia
Catabolic
reactions that break down molecules
Anabolic
reactions that build larger molecules out of smaller ones
Amyloclucosidase
enzyme in stomach that aids in digestions, optimal pH = acidic levels
Amylase
enzyme in saliva that helps break down food.
