I- Define:
1- Simple diffusion. 6- Donnan's Equilibrium.
2- Primary active transport. 7- Homeostasis.
3- Osmolality. 8- Symport carrier.
4- Secondary active transport. 9- Edema.
5- Osmosis. 10-Osmole.
II- Explain why:
1- Cortisol is an ideal anti-inflammatory agent.
2- Children's are more liable to develop dehydration.
3- Mitochondria is self-replicated organelles.
4- Muscle cells and neurons cannot be divided.
5- Cell edema occurs in ATP deficiency.
6- CO2 is more diffusible than O2 through cell membrane inspite of its higher
molecular weight.
7- Water molecules penetrate very rapidly through cell membrane although they are
lipid insoluble.
8- Rate of facilitated diffusion will not increase after it reach maximum rate insipte
of increase concentration.
9- Hypertonic solution used to treat cell edema.
10- Drinking a large volume of water with diabetes.
III- What happen if:
1- Lysosomal membrane becomes unstable.
2- Water loss become more than water gain.
3- ATP is deficient from the body.
4- Water soluble molecule has higher hydration energy.
5- Increase sodium level in the blood.
IV- Mention:
1- Types of protein carriers.
2- Types of intercellular connection.
