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.
