45
What kind of transport is exocytosis?
Vesicular transport moving things out of the cell
46
movement from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is called
diffusion
47
Diffusion requires a difference in levels called _________ __________.
concentration gradient
48
What three things affect diffusion and how does it affect it?
Size - larger moves faster, smaller moves slower Temperature - higher temperature moves quicker lower temperature moves slower Distance - how far it needs to travel - small distance is faster, greater distance takes longer.
49
What are the three types of diffusion?
Simple, facilitated, and osmosis
50
Diffusion can occur in three forms?
solid, liquid, or gas
51
Diffusion travels across what?
the plasma membrane of the cells.
52
a diffusion that occurs unassisted is referred to as
simple diffusion
53
which molecules can use simple diffusion
oxygen, CO2 (carbon dioxide), and Urea (waste products)
54
Assisted movement or diffusion with the help of a transport protein, that is highly selective.
Facilitated Diffusion
55
Which two ways does a Facilitated diffusion take place?
A channel protein or a carrier protein
56
which type of facilitated diffusion has a gate that can be opened or closed and what is the pocket called that allows for movement?

64
Why is Osmosis so important?
Tonicity
65
The concentration of solutes in two fluids
Tonicity
66
if you have no big movement in or out and you have equal stuff in your piles what kind of tonicity is it?
Isotonic - solute in = solute out
67
if you have less solute inside the cell than outside the cell what kind of tonicity is it?

if you have more solute inside the cell than outside the cell what kind of tonicity is it?
Hypotonic - solute in > solute out
69
what are the three kinds of tonicity?
Isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic
70
which way does the water move in a hypertonic solution?
There are more solutes outside the cell and more water inside the cell so the water moves outside to equalize the two.
71
Which way does the water move in a hypotonic solution?
There are more solutes inside the cell and more water outside the cell so the water moves into the cell to equalize the two.
72
Which way does the water move in an isotonic solution?
There is no great movement because the solutes and the water on both the inside and the outside of the cell are equal.
73
