Document Summary

Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, filtration,pinocytosis, phagocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis, and solute pumping. Passive transport, driving forces by the concentration of solutes, moves from area of high water concentration to low concentration. Water moves through a semipermeable membrane to achieves equilibrium. Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. Important because of water content in cells & extracellular fluids. Meaning the percentage of water & solute is equal on each side of the membrane. Osmotic pressure stops the movement of water. Hydrostatic pressure is greater than osmotic pressure, osmosis stops. Hydrostatic pressure is the weight of water. Osmosis continues until 1 of 2 things occur: hydrostatic pressure is greater than osmotic pressure, solutes at equilibrium. Tonicity: measure of the ability of a solution to cause change in cell shape or tone by promoting osmotic flow of water. Concentration of solute in extracellular fluid is same as in ell.
