Diffusion (Passive)
Movement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration, it may or may not be across a membrane; it does not involve metabloic energy (ATP)
1 of 9
Facilitated Diffusion
Movement of molcules from an area of high concentration to low, across a partially permeable membrane via protein channels or carriers; it does not involve metabolic energy (ATP)
2 of 9
Osmosis
a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.
3 of 9
Cytolysed
The process in animals cells where if a lot of water molecules enter, the cell will swell and burst as the plasma membranes breaks.
4 of 9
Turgid
A swollen state of plant celss that have taken in water by osmosis and reached their maximum state of swelling. The cell wall now exterts a pressure and prevents any more water entering the cell.
5 of 9
Crenated
A shrivelled animal cell that has lost water by osmosis.
6 of 9
Plasmolysed
Plant cells where the contants hafve shrunk due to loss of water by osmosis and the plasma membrane has separated from the cell wall.
7 of 9
Flaccid
Plant tissue where there is no tugor- the tissue is soft.
8 of 9
Water Potential
Measure of the tendency of water molecules to diffuse from one region to another.
