Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 7TYU
Test Your Understanding
7. In cotransport (indirect active transport) (a) a uniporter moves a solute across a membrane against its concentration gradient (b) the move of one solute down its concentration gradient provides energy for transport of some other solute up its concentration gradient (c) a channel protein moves ions by facilitated diffusion (d) osmosis powers the movement of ions against their concentration gradient (e) sodium is directly transported in one direction, and potassium is indirectly transported in the same direction

Similarity is the concentration of osmotically active substances dissolved in solution within a cell. What types of molecules might be present in cells that affect osmolarity? In what part of the cell would you find each of your suggestions?
Part I – Introduction to Diffusion and Osmosis1. Define the terms diffusion, passive transport, active transport, and osmosis. In each of your definitions, describe the role of a concentration gradient. 2. Biological membranes are said to be selectively permeable (or semi-permeable). What does this term mean, and how does this affect the way that molecules are able to move through cellular membranes? 3. Which type of molecule is more likely to quickly pass through a cellular membrane via simple diffusion, polar or nonpolar? Why? (You may need to use information from your textbook and class discussions to answer this question.)
Fish Cell Physiology
Compare and contrast the movement of salt ion in the tissues of a living fish and the tissue of a dead fish, is it similar? What goes in and goes out of the cell? Is it water or salt, discuss in both the living and the dead fish. Discuss what particular part of the cell and the mechanism of this process.
