Difference between Facilitated diffusion and active transport
Facilitated = involves carrier and channel proteins, is passive,goes down concentration gradient/ Active= only involves carrier protein, uses ATP, goes against concentration gradient
1 of 14
What is a PROCESSED result
Calculations made from raw data, Raw data would have recorded initial and final masses
2 of 14
How does the potatoe tissue change in mass in a 0.4 mol dm−3 solution of sucrose
Water potential of solution is less than (more negative) than that of potato tissue. Tissue loses water by osmosis
3 of 14
From results how would you fine the water potential of the potato tissue
Plot a graph with concentration on the x-axis and percentage change in mass on the y-axis/Find concentration where curve crosses the x-axis / where percentage change is zero/Use (another) use resource to find water potential of sucrose concentration
4 of 14
How does the 2 temperature show active transport is taking place (4*C and 37*C)
Concentration uptake is faster at 37°C/Due to faster respiration / ATP production
5 of 14
How substances move across membrane
By simple diffusion, faciliated diffusion, active transport, osmosis, PHAGOCYTOSIS, EXOCYTOSIS
6 of 14
Why does putting honey on cuts kills bacteria
Water potential in bacteria cell is higher than the honey, water leaves bacteria / by osmosis/ loss of water stops metabolic reaction
7 of 14
why is diffusion a passive process
it doesnt require any external energy, ATP. its a net movement of particles - from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
8 of 14
How does the concentration gradient affect the rate of diffusion
The steeper the concentration gradient the faster the rate of diffusion.
9 of 14
What affects the rate of diffusion
pH, temperature-kinetic energy, concentration gradient-steepness, surface area-larger, length of pathway(thickness)- shorter
10 of 14
Define water potential
The tendency of water to move from one area to another via osmosis
11 of 14
If a plant cell was placed in a hypotonic solution, what would happen to it
High water potential outside the cell so water moves into the cell - Cell becomes turgid but doesn't burst because of the cell wall
12 of 14
What mechanism is used to transport chloride ions out of the cell
Facilitated diffusion
13 of 14
what molecules cant pass through the CSM directly
large, ionic
