Term
Seawater is always hyperosmotic relative to normal blood
Definition
Term
A solution identified as hypertonic may be hyperosmotic in comparison with other liquids, but is never isotonic
Definition
Term
Water moves by osmosis from hypertonic to hypotonic solutions in contact with each other and separated by a semipermeable membrane
Definition
Term
There can be no pinocytosis in an anaerobic environment due to the complete absence of ATP
Definition
Term
A hypotonic solution is always hyposmotic relative to normal blood
Definition
Term
Endocytosis does not require energy to take place because material is only entering the cell
Definition
Term
Active transport requires ATP and therefore can never take place in an anaerobic environment
Definition
Term

Which of the following is true about the sodium-potassium pump:

  1. moves 3 Na+ out of the cell for each 2 K+ moved into the cell
  2. moves 2 Na+ out of the cell for each 3 K+
    moved into the cell
  3. moves 3 Na+ into each cell for each 2 K+ moved out of the cell
  4. moves 2 Na+ into each cell for each 3 K+ moved out of the cell
  5. none of these
Definition
Term

Which is true for both saltwater and freshwater fish:

  1. they are isotonic
  2. they are hypertonic
  3. they are hypotonic
  4. they are hyperosmotic to each other
Definition
Term

A red blood cell is placed in distilled water and starts to swell. Just before the cell lyses you take a sample of cytoplasm and analyze it. It is found to be what:

  1. isotonic
  2. hypertonic
  3. hypotonic
  4. hyposmotic
  5. none of the above
Definition
Term

Which of the following is not true for a freshwater fish in fresh water:

  1. net diffusion of NaCl into the body at the gills
  2. hyperosmotic body contents relative to the environment
  3. active uptake of NaCl into the body at the gills
  4. large amounts of dilute urine produced

Term
What is the name of the curve which describes the shape of the relationship between the partial pressure of oxygen and the percent saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen?
Definition
Term
Are sodium or potassium ions actively pumped out of the cell at a faster rate?
Definition
Term
Water molecules pass through cell membranes through specialized pores called______
Definition
Aquaporins
Term
Freshwater and saltwater fish use what organ, in addition to the gills, to regulate salt and water balance?
Definition
Term
Cell pumps, channels, enzymes, and receptors are composed of the same basic, structural compound which is_____
