EXTRA Flashcards
What is the difference between permeable and impermeable
Permeable: Allowng Passage
Impermeable: Not allowing passage
how is osmosis a form of diffusion
Osmosis is a form of diffusion because it is driven by a concentration gradient
what is turgor pressure
Turgor pressure is the outward pressure that is exerted on a plant cell wall by contents when water is taken in by osmosis
what might happen if there is only high concentration of water outside the cell
If there is only a high concentration of water outside the cell the object can wilt/die from lack of water
what are the two concentrations of water in osmosis
An area with High concentration and An area with Low concentration
how would you explain osmosis in your own words
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
what does phagocytosis do
Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis that uses pseaduopods to move large materials and large non-dissolved solid particles into the cytoplasm from the outside environement
what is the difference between endocytosis and exocytosis
Endocytosis: The process by which a cell moves large materials and large non-dissolved particles into the cytoplasm from the outside environment
Exocytosis: The process by which a cell moves large materials and large non-dissolved particles from the cytoplasm into the outside environment
What does Healthy Cells contribute to?
