true
false
what are the 2 types of passive transport
primary active transport

substances are transported by channels
the solvent moves to an area of high solute concentration from a lower one
what is usually being transported in simple diffusion
glucose, amino acids, and ions
oxygen, carbon dioxide, fat-soluble vitamins, steroid hormones
solvents like water
what occurs in facilitated diffusion
substances diffuse straight through bilayer
substances are transported by channels or carriers down their gradient

they are always open
they are controlled by chemical and electrical signals
how do gated channels work
they are always open
they are controlled by chemical or electrical signals
what occurs during osmosis
a substance diffuses across the membrane
a substance uses carriers or channels to move down gradient
a solvent, like water, will move across its gradient
what is tonicity
the ability to be toxic
ability of a solution to change shape of cells by altering amount of internal water
lysosomal action
enzyme action
what is an isotonic solution
higher solute concentration outside than inside cell, so water flows out
inside and outside of cell have some osmolarity
lower solute concentration outside of cell so water flows in
what is a hypertonic solution
the same concentration inside and outside the cell
higher solute concentration outside of the cell, so water flows out
lower solute concentration outside of the cell, so water flows in
what is crenation
cell shrinking
cell swelling
what is a hypotonic solution
the same concentration inside and outside the cell
higher solute concentration outside the cell, so water flows out
lower solute concentration inside the cell, so water flows in
what is lysing
cell shrinking
cell bursting
cell celling
cell lysterine
active processes require ATP
true
false
why is active transport used
solute can move down gradient
solute is too large for channels
solute cannot move down gradient
solute is not lipid soluble
what happens in primary active transport
shape change causes ions to bind to protein and be pumped across membrane
it depends on the ion gradient that was already created
what is secondary active transport
shape change causes ions to bind to proteins and be pumped across membrane
the energy stored and ion gradient from primary transport are used indirect
vesicular transport is the transport of large things within vesicles
true
false
endocytosis is
when the cell membrane surrounds something and brings it into cell
when the vesicle merges with plasma membrane to get the substance out
phagocytosis is
cell eating
cell drinking
pinocytosis is
cell eating
cell drinking
what is exocytosis
the cell membrane surrounds something and brings it in
the vesicle merges with the plasma membrane to transport the substance out
what is matter
anything that has mass and takes up space
anything that you cannot see
anything that has no mass and floats through the air
anything that has mass but doesn't take up space
what is the definition of energy
anything that has mass or takes up space

two atoms bond together
