Question
- diffusion = movement from to concentration until equilibrium is reached.
- example: exchange of and in the lungs.
- facilitated diffusion = uses proteins to move molecules like glucose and amino acids.
- osmosis = diffusion of across a selectively permeable membrane.
- osmotic pressure increases with more solutes.
- solution types:
○ isotonic = same osmotic pressure as body fluids ( % nacl).
○ hypertonic = solution with osmotic pressure than body fluids.
○ hypotonic = solution with osmotic pressure.
Brief Explanations
Diffusion is from high to low concentration. In lungs, oxygen and carbon - dioxide are exchanged. Facilitated diffusion uses carrier proteins. Osmosis is water diffusion. More solutes increase osmotic pressure. Isotonic NaCl is 0.9%. Hypertonic has higher, hypotonic has lower osmotic pressure than body fluids.
