Question 30

Passive transport

Answer 30

Requires no energy | Diffusion, osmosis, filtration, and facilitated diffusion

Question 31

Active transport

Answer 31

Requires energy | Includes transport by pumps and vesicles

Question 32

Diffusion

Answer 32

Passive transport of particles from an area of higher to lower concentration

Question 33

Concentration gradient

Answer 33

Difference in concentration from one point to another

Question 34

Osmosis

Answer 34

Difusión of water down the concentration gradient through selective permeable membrane

Question 35

Tonicity

Answer 35

The ability of a solution to affect the fluid volume and pressure in a cell through osmosis

Question 36

Isotonic

Answer 36

Solution a/same concentration (equal into and out of cell rate) Cell remains normal

Question 37

Hypertonic

Answer 37

Solution w/higher concentration | Water will diffuse out of cell=shrivel

Question 38

Hypotonic

Answer 38

Solution w/lower concentration | Water will move by osmosis into cell and burst

Question 39

Facilitates diffusion

Answer 39

Passing through transporter

Question 40

Filtration

Answer 40

Water and dissolved particles are forced across a membrane from an area of higher to lower pressure
