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

Define hypotonic solution.

Back

A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution, leading to the swelling of cells when placed in it.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to red blood cells in a hypotonic solution?

Back

Red blood cells swell and may burst due to the influx of water.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define hypertonic solution.

Back

A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution, causing cells to shrink when placed in it.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to red blood cells in a hypertonic solution?

Back

Red blood cells shrivel up due to the loss of water.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define isotonic solution.

Back

An isotonic solution has an equal concentration of solutes compared to another solution, resulting in no net movement of water into or out of the cell.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is dynamic equilibrium in the context of cell transport?

Back

Dynamic equilibrium occurs when the concentration of solutes is equal on both sides of the membrane, leading to balanced movement of substances.
