difference between simple and facilitated diffusion..
Simple is used for small non charged molecules that pass through the bilayer while faciliatated is uses proteins to move large charged molecules.
What is the differance between Hypertonic, Hypotonic, and Isotonic
Hypertonic: Has lots of solute and water goes toward it.
Hypotomic: Has few solute.
Isotonic: Has equal solute.
what is Active transport.
When cells may need to move molecules against concentration gradient and allow any type to pass.
Why does the volume need to be minimized while surface area is maximized.
The more volume a cell has the longer it will take for molecules and proteins to be transferd and not be as efficient.
