Cell Transport
(cell membrane) Seminole county Florida Biology
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| plasma membrane | thin, flexible barrier that surrounds all cells; regulates what enters and leaves the cell |
| phospholipids | form the lipid bilayer in cell membranes where their hydrophobic tails face inward while their hydrophilic polar heads face outward |
| isotonic | when the concentration of two solutions is the same |
| osmosis | diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane |
| dynamic equilibrium | a steady state |
| active transport | movement from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration, requires energy, and a carrier protein? |
| concentration gradient | change in the concentration of solutes in a solution as a function of distance through a solution |
| facilitated diffusion | molecules pass across the membrane through channels |
| hypertonic | the solution with the greater concentration of solutes |
| hypotonic | the solution with the lesser concentration of solutes |
| semipermeable (selectively permeable) | allows some substances to pass across while others can't |
| bilayer | double layer (2) |
| diffusion | particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration |
