Do you know what's diffusion, osmosis, passive and active transport, exocytosis and endocytosis?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think so,yes.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Let me go get my notebook.
thomaster (thomaster):
So first image, what do you see?

Hmmmmmmm.... Active transport,I think.
thomaster (thomaster):
yep, carrier proteins moving particles across a membrane is called active transport
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okie. I shall write "active transport" on the line,then.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And... Exocytosis ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Also, Osmosis.

Active transport, exocytosis, and osmosis.
thomaster (thomaster):
exocytosis is a process by which a cell directs the contents of secretory vesicles out of the cell membrane and into the extracellular space
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I see.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Endocytosis, then.
thomaster (thomaster):
Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides

thomaster (thomaster):
Endocytosis is process by which cells absorb molecules by engulfing them
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It's endo, according to my notebook....
thomaster (thomaster):
which picture are you talking about? 22?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yep.

Do you know the definition of diffusion?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wow. I am so slow.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I read the picture incorrectly.

thomaster (thomaster):
diffusion is the spreading of particles over the area so that the concentration is the same everywhere. exactly what you see in 22
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Lowee to higher.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Lower*
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So, diffusion,yeah.
thomaster (thomaster):
uhu

Sorry I took so long to realize that.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Let me write it down.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Done.
thomaster (thomaster):
So what do you think about 23?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Exocytosis, active transport, osmosis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay,okay,okay.
thomaster (thomaster):
what is happening in picture 23?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Aren't the particles exiting the cell?
thomaster (thomaster):
no they're going in the cell

OpenStudy (anonymous):
o_o Okay.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And... they're spreading out...
thomaster (thomaster):
no they're caught in a vesicle :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well,that's what it looks like to me. I am so bad at this ._.
thomaster (thomaster):
oke the meaning of cytosis = particles moving in and out cells
endo = in
exo = out
endocytosis = particles moving in the cell
exocytosis = particles moving out of the cell
I already gave a definition of both, just scroll up.

Okay,thank you.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I know what they mean from the endo and exo parts.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And you say it's passive?
thomaster (thomaster):
i didn't mention passive? :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well, I said it was active,and you said that was wrong.

PS. Thanks for removing that watermark the other day.
thomaster (thomaster):
yea it's not any kind of transport, and no problem :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Really? It's neither?! o_o WOAH.
thomaster (thomaster):
since it's a cell, you're talking about cytosis
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So you want me to write "cytosis"?

thomaster (thomaster):
when you talk about a membrane, then it would be transport
thomaster (thomaster):
yes but is it endocytosis or exocytosis?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Hmmm. You said it's trapped...and that it was not exo....so...endo?
thomaster (thomaster):
exo = moving out of the cell
endo = moving in the cell
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes,right.

And it is not exocytosis.
thomaster (thomaster):
so
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Endocytosis?! I'm guessing here. Just kidding. LOL.
thomaster (thomaster):
OpenStudy (anonymous):
LOL. Helping me out must be frustrating. Sorry.

nah I'm helping students with these things more times a week so I'm used to it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You said "medical biology"? So you want to study medicine?
thomaster (thomaster):
nah it's a laboratory education. So I can work in hospital labs later :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Kewl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RU GONNA SAVE LIVES?!
thomaster (thomaster):
haha I will surely aid in the saving of lifes :P
But let's get back to the question shall we?

The last question I must answer is: Is it osmosis or diffusion?
thomaster (thomaster):
what number
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Number 22.
thomaster (thomaster):
particles spreading out over the area to equalize the concentration everywhere, diffusion.
osmosis is what you see in 27

O ya, there are 12 particles in each box.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thank you,sir.

Now,onto number 23...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Endocytosis?
thomaster (thomaster):
yes

so what do you see in 24?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Hmm.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Exocytosis.
thomaster (thomaster):
what is the definition of exocytosis? I said it in this post :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
"exocytosis is a process by which a cell directs the contents of secretory vesicles out of the cell membrane and into the extracellular space"

OpenStudy (anonymous):
In number 26.
thomaster (thomaster):
exactly :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okie,let me write "endo" on 26.
thomaster (thomaster):
you mean exocytosis right?
