Which ions electrical charges oppose the direction of movement that is caused by their concentration gradient?
Any ion that is positive but has a higher concentration inside the cell or is negative and has a higher concentration outside the cell. Any ion that is positive but has a higher concentration inside the cell or is negative and has a higher concentration outside the cell.
What best describes the Na and K concentrations across a neuron's plasma membrane?
The Na concentration is higher outside of the neuron's plasma membrane, while the K concentration is higher inside the neuron's plasma membrane. This creates an electrochemical gradient that allows for the generation and transmission of electrical signals in neurons.
What would happen if the concentration of molecules outside the cell was lower than the inside?
the carbon dioxide will move into the cell due to the concentration of carbon dioxide outside of the cell being higher
A solution in which the salt concentration inside the cell is higher than outside the cell is known as?
hypertonic :D
Movement of sodium ions from a region of lower concentration inside a cell toward a region of higher concentration outside the cell is accomplished by?
active transport
The inside of cells have a higher concentration of what?
The inside of cells have a higher concentration of Potassium. But there's a higher concentration of Sodium outside the cell.

The Na concentration is higher outside of the neuron's plasma membrane, while the K concentration is higher inside the neuron's plasma membrane. This creates an electrochemical gradient that allows for the generation and transmission of electrical signals in neurons.
Why do diffusion and osmosis happen?
they make the concentration of the solute equal inside and outside of the molecule.
What would happen if the concentration of H plus ion were higher inside the mitochondrion than outside the mitochondrion when the channel opened?
H+ ions would flow out of the mitochondrion.
What takes place during osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water form its higher concentration to lower concentration through a semi permeable membrane. In it water can move from inside to outside or outside to inside.
What would happen if the concentration of molecules outside the cell was lower than the inside?
the carbon dioxide will move into the cell due to the concentration of carbon dioxide outside of the cell being higher
Which describes the ion concentrations inside and outside of a neuron?
The sodium ion concentration is higher on the outside of the cell and potassium ion concentration is higher on the inside of the cell
What will happen if the concentration of glucose in the water outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside?
Water will move out of the cell. Glucose will not move into the cell without the help of a helper molecule. Glucose molecules will diffuse into the cell.(APEX)
What happens when there is a higher concentration of water outside the cell than inside the cell?
Water moves into the cell by osmosis along the concentration gradient until the two gradients are equal. The result is that the volume inside the cell increases, causing the cell to swell.
What role did diffusion play in the changes you observed?
Before diffusion there is a higher concentration of oxygen molecules outside the cell than inside the cell. After diffusion the concentration of oxygen molecules is the same outside and inside the cell.
If the concentration of glucose in the water outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside the cell what will happen?
Water will move out of the cell. Glucose will not move into the cell without the help of a helper molecule. Glucose molecules will diffuse into the cell.(APEX)
