Q

glycolysis

A
  • divided into 2 phases: preparatory & pay-off

41
Q

simple diffusion

A

small, non-polar molecules move freely across the membrane. direction of movement: high amounts–>low amounts

42
Q

passive transport (facilitated diffusion)

A

the movement of any substance through a membrane. the movement is from high concentration to low concentration without using energy (requires a carrier)

43
Q

active transport

A

the movement of water. it is a type of passive movement where water moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

44
Q

osmosis

A

the movement of water. water movers from high concentration to lower concentration

45
Q

hypotonic fluid

A

has a lower concentration of solute than fluid in the cell. water will then move into the cell & cause the cell to burst

46
Q

hypertonic fluid

A

a greater concentration of solute than the fluid in the cell. water will move out & cause cell to shrink

47
Q

isotonic fluid

A

same concentration of solute as the fluid in the cell. the concentration of water is equal so theres no movement of water

48
Q

exocytosis

A

A process that move substance enclosed in small sacs from the interior portion of the cell to the outside
