What is it called when flyids mive in and out ofthe cell?
The movement of fluids in and out of a cell is called osmosis. Osmosis specifically refers to the passive movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Additionally, the general movement of fluids and other substances into and out of cells can also be described by terms like diffusion and active transport, depending on the mechanisms involved.
What happens in terms of diffusion of salt and water?
In terms of diffusion, salt and water move across a semi-permeable membrane due to concentration gradients. Water molecules diffuse from an area of lower solute concentration (hypotonic solution) to an area of higher solute concentration (hypertonic solution) in a process called osmosis. Conversely, salt ions may diffuse from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration. This movement continues until equilibrium is reached, where the concentrations of salt and water become balanced on both sides of the membrane.
Which terms is defined as two or more elements joined together?
A molecule
What terms are defined as ideas without substance that are not part of the natural universe?
Supernatural
What are two differences between active transport and passive transport in terms of energy?
Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and relies on the concentration gradient to move molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Additionally, active transport can move molecules in both directions across the membrane, while passive transport can only move molecules down the concentration gradient.
What is the difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion in terms of the movement of molecules across a cell membrane?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration without the need for a protein. Facilitated diffusion also moves molecules from high to low concentration, but requires a specific protein to help them pass through the membrane.
What is the difference between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion in terms of the mechanisms by which molecules move across a cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane with the help of specific proteins, while simple diffusion does not require any proteins and relies on the molecules moving freely through the membrane.
What terms describes the movement of water molecule in and out of cell?
The movement of water through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.
What is the difference between diffusion and bulk flow in terms of the movement of substances across a membrane?
Diffusion is the movement of substances from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while bulk flow is the movement of substances in a fluid due to pressure differences. Diffusion occurs passively, while bulk flow requires energy.
What are the similarities between simple and facilitated diffusion in terms of their mechanisms of transport across the cell membrane?
Both simple and facilitated diffusion are passive processes that involve the movement of molecules across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. They do not require energy input from the cell. In both processes, molecules move through specific channels or carrier proteins in the cell membrane to facilitate their transport.
What is the Difference between plasmamembrane and cell membrane?
The terms "plasma membrane" and "cell membrane" are often used interchangeably to refer to the same structure. Both terms refer to the semipermeable lipid bilayer that surrounds the cell and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
How are undefined terms and defined terms relate to each other?
"Defined items" are defined in terms of "undefined terms".
What is osmosis in terms of water potential?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential. Water potential is the potential energy of water molecules to move from one place to another and is influenced by factors like pressure and solute concentration.
Are diffusion and osmosis the same process?
No osmosis is actually a special term used just for the movement of water across a cell membrane. We don't use that term for anything else. Diffusion is for the movement of other substances but not always involving a cell membrane. For example, scent can diffuse in the air. Science tends to be like this but it is important to use exact terms.
How are defined terms and undefined terms relate to each other?
"Defined items" are defined in terms of "undefined terms".
How is facilitated diffusion similar to active transport in terms of their mechanisms of moving substances across the cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion and active transport are similar in that they both involve the movement of substances across the cell membrane with the help of specific proteins. However, facilitated diffusion does not require energy, while active transport does require energy in the form of ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient.
What is the difference between channel and carrier proteins in terms of their mechanisms of transporting molecules across cell membranes?
Channel proteins facilitate the passive movement of molecules across cell membranes by creating a pore or channel for them to pass through. Carrier proteins, on the other hand, actively transport molecules by binding to them and undergoing a conformational change to move them across the membrane.
