The part of a foreign substance that is inserted into a macrophage membrane?
The part of a foreign substance that is insertde into a macrophage membrane?
How does the Concentration gradient of a substance affect the movement of that substance and the expenditure of energy?
A concentration gradient of a substance drives the movement of that substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The steeper the concentration gradient, the faster the movement of the substance, requiring less energy to transport it. If the concentration on both sides of the gradient is equal, there is no net movement of the substance.
If a substance is able to diffuse across a membrane then the membrane is said to be what?
selectively permeable
What is the substance that fills the cell from the plasma membrane to the nuclear membrane?
The semifluid substance that fills a cell is cytoplasm.
If a substance is unable to diffuse across a membrane we say the membrane is?
osmotically active
How does a polar substance get across a cells plasma membrane without the expenditure of energy assuming it is more concentrated outside of the cell?
it goes in straight lines
Given that a nonpolar substance is more concentrated outside of a cell how does it get across a cell's plasma membrane without the expenditure of energy?
Osmosis and diffusion.
How does a polar substance get across a cells plasma membrane without the expendture of energy assuming it is more concentrated outside the cell?
Facilitated diffusion
What is passive membran transport?
The diffusion of substances across a membrane is called passive transport. Molecules move from where the substance is more concentrated to where it is less concentrated.
What is a substance that moves across a cell membrane without using the cells energy tends to move?
away from the area where it is more concentrated
A substance that moves across a cell membrane without using the cell's energy tends to move?
from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration (if it is water) the opposite if it is a solid
What is it called when Water passes through the cell membrane from a high concentrated area to a less concentrated area?
Osmosis
