Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell. It relies on the concentration gradient, moving substances from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.

What is active transport?
Back
Active transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane using energy, usually in the form of ATP. It moves substances against their concentration gradient, from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration.

Front
Define hypertonic solution.
Back
A hypertonic solution is one that has a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution. In a hypertonic environment, water moves out of the cell, causing it to shrink.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Define hypotonic solution.
Back
A hypotonic solution is one that has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution. In a hypotonic environment, water moves into the cell, causing it to swell.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Define isotonic solution.
Back
An isotonic solution is one that has the same concentration of solutes as another solution. In an isotonic environment, water moves in and out of the cell at equal rates, maintaining cell size.

What role does the cell membrane play in transport?
Back
The cell membrane controls what substances may enter or leave the cell, helping to maintain homeostasis.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is osmosis?
Back
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
