Movement into and out of cells
learns about
Diffusion
what diffusion is
particles spread out from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
this process is called
net movement
the difference is called
concentration gradient
osmosis
what osmosis is
diffusion of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane
the movement is from
high water potential → low water potential
the difference is called
water potential gradient
in plant cell
hypertonic
plasmolysed cell
hypotonic
turgid cell
turgor pressure goes with hypotonic plant cells.
isotonic
flaccid cell
in animal cell
hypotonic
cell swells/bursts
isotonic
cell normal
hypertonic
cell shrinks (crenated)
active transport
what active transport is
when a cell uses energy to move substances from low to high concentration, like pushing stuff uphill.
