APHY. 201 Study Guide 3 Questions with Correct Answers


Question 1:
Passive processes of membrane transport
-Do not require energy
-Depend on substances moving down -concentration gradient
Answer:
-Membrane-bound vesicle must be released (vesicular transport)


Question 2:
what are the four factors that affect the rate of simple diffusion across the membrane?
Answer:
Two types: diffusion, osmosis
Concentration Gradient: The difference in concentration of the diffusing substance between


Question 3:
Surface Area: The total area available for diffusion. A larger surface area of the membrane
Answer:
Higher permeability to the substance results in faster diffusion.


Question 4:
Temperature: Higher temperatures increase the kinetic energy of molecules, which enhances
Answer:
allows more molecules to diffuse simultaneously, increasing the rate.


Question 5:
what additional factor distinguishes the kinetics of facilitated diffusion?
Saturation saturation added.
Diffusion
Answer:
their movement and thus speeds up diffusion.
the state or process that occurs when no more of something can be absorbed, combined with,
or the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of
lower

Answer:
OsmosisA solution with the same concentration of water and solutes as inside a cell, resulting in
the cell A solution in which the concentration of solutes is greater than that of the cell that
resides in the A solution in which the concentration of solutes is less than that of the cell that
resides in the
