Term
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
Definition
Requires ATP to complete
Term
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
Definition
Moves molecules such as proteins and large complex sugars.
Term
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
Definition
Transports against the concentration gradient.
Term
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
Definition
No ATP required to complete.
Term
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
Definition
Transports with the gradient. From high to low concentration.
Term
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
Definition
Transports soluable materials. (ie water, lipids, hormones)
Term
DIFFUSION
Definition
Diffusion is a spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Term
DIFFUSION
Definition
Goes from a high concentration gradient to a low concentration gradient.
Term
DIFFUSION
Definition
Doesn’t need water for movement.
Term
OSMOSIS
Definition
Needs water for movement
Term
OSMOSIS
Definition
The spontaneous net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration, down a solute concentration gradient.
Term
OSMOSIS
Definition
It occurs when the medium surrounding the cell has a higher water concentration than the cell. The cell gains water along with important molecules and particles for growth
Term
OSMOSIS
Definition
Moves down concentration gradient
