Q

Why shouldn’t you lick chapped lips

A

Enzymes in your saliva are used to break down your food

  • -> break down your lips
  • -> dry and cracked

Q

Why shouldn’t we drink salt water

A

Salt dehydrates u

–> saltwater dehydrates u

16
Q

How can concentrations of salt INSIDE of cells be lowered if salt cannot pass through the membrane

A

Water will move using osmosis because water is allowed inside the cell allowing it to balance out salt/water creating an isotonic solution

17
Q

What affect does hypotonic solution have on a cell? Why?

A

Plant- causes cell membrane to push against cell wall = pressure build up and allows plant to stand upright

Animal- causes cell membrane to enlarge (w/o cell wall) it will burst

18
Q

In active transport, molecules move from areas of ____ concentration to ____ concentration

A

Low higj

19
Q

In osmosis moves from areas of ____ to _____ concentration

A

Low high

Q

Energy is used to move molecules in which cell transport processes

A
