16
Q

Same solute concentration as inside the cell
No net loss or gain of water
Cells maintain their normal shape

A

Isotonic solution

17
Q

Higher concentration of solutes than inside of the cell
Water flows out of cell
Cell shrinks and shrivels (crenation)

A

Hypertonic solution

18
Q

Lower solute concentration than inside of cell
Water flows into the cell
Can swells and can burst (lysing)

A

Hypotonic solution

19
Q

Red blood cell lysis (bursting)

20
Q

Can substances that are too large to pass through the membrane move passivley?

21
Q

Moves solute against the gradient
Uses solute pumps
1. Primary active transport
2. Second active transport

A

Active transport

22
Q

Carrier proteins that bind specifically and reversibly with substance being moved
Used in active transport

A

Solute pumps

23
Q

Hydrolysis of ATP occurs (phosphorylation), and energy is created directly from the process in pumps

A

Primary active transport

24
Q

Transport one substance into cell while transporting a different substance out of cell
Opposite directions

A

Antiporters

25
Transport two different substances in the same direction
Symporters
26
Depends on ion gradient that was created by primary active transport Energy stored in gradients is used to indirectly to drive transport of other solutes
Secondary active transport (cotransport)
27
Transport of large particles, macromolecules, and fluids across membrane in membranous sacs called vesicles 4 types: Endocytosis, exocytosis, transcytosis, vesicular trafficking
Vesicular transport
28
Endocytosis
Transport into cell
29
Exocytosis
Transport out of cell
30
Transcytosis
Transport into, across, and then out of cell
31
Vesicular trafficking
Transport from one area of the cell to another
32
Cell engulfs a large particle by forming projecting pseudopods around it and closing it with membranous sac
Phagocytosis
33
Cell "gulps" a drop of extracellular fluid containing solutes into tiny vesicles Drop = small = pino
Pinocytosis
34
Extracellular substances bind to specific **receptor** proteins, enabling the cell to ingest and concentrate specific substances (ligands) in protein coated vesicles
Receptor-mediated endocytosis
