FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is cell transport?

Back

Cell transport refers to the movement of substances across the cell membrane, which can occur through various mechanisms such as diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until equilibrium is reached.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the difference between passive and active transport?

Back

Passive transport does not require energy and occurs along the concentration gradient, while active transport requires energy to move substances against the concentration gradient.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a concentration gradient?

Back

A concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of a substance between two areas, which drives the movement of molecules during diffusion.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What role do cell membranes play in transport?

Back

Cell membranes are selectively permeable barriers that control the movement of substances in and out of the cell, allowing for the maintenance of homeostasis.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that uses transport proteins to help move molecules across the cell membrane without using energy.
