Active and Passive Cell Transport for HS Freshman Honors Biology

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
passive transport   process by which some substances can cross the cell membrane without any input of energy by the cell  
🗑
diffusion   movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
concentration gradient   difference in the concentration of molecules across a distance  
🗑
equilibrium   concentration of molecules is the same throughout the space the molecules occupy  
🗑
simple diffusion   diffusion across a membrane that only allows certain molecules to pass through the membrane  
🗑
osmosis   process by which water molecules diffuse across a cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
hypotonic   describes a solution whose solute concentration is lower than the solute concentration inside a cell  
🗑
hypertonic   describes a solution whose solute concentration is higher than the solute concentration inside a cell  
🗑
isotonic   describes a solution whose solute concentration is equal to the solute concentration inside a cell  
🗑
contractile vacuoles   organelles that remove water by collecting the excess water and then contracting to pump out the water  
🗑
turgor pressure   pressure that water molecules exert against the cell wall  
🗑
plasmolysis   condition in which cells shrink away from the cell walls, and turgor pressure is lost  
🗑
cytolysis   condition in which a hypotonic environment causes water to diffuse into the cell, making it swell and eventually burst  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   type of passive transport in which molecules that cannot readily diffuse through cell membranes are assisted by carrier proteins; thus ~ facilitated  
🗑
carrier proteins   specific proteins in the membrane that assist the movement of molecules in facilitated diffusion  
🗑
ion channels   type of membrane protein involved in passive transport - diffusion through ion channels  
🗑
active transport   movement of materials from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration; UP concentration gradient; REQUIRES cell to expend ENERGY  
🗑
sodium-potassium pump   transports Na+ ions and K+ ions up their concentration gradients  
🗑
endocytosis   process by which cells ingest external fluid, macromolecules, and large particles, including other cells  
🗑
pinocytosis   involves transport of solutes or liquids: DRINK  
🗑
phagocytosis   movement of large particles or whole cells  
🗑
phagocytes   cells that allow lysosomes to fuse with the vesicles that contain the ingested bacteria and viruses  
🗑
vesicle   pouch pinched off from the cell membrane, becoming a membrane bound organelle  
🗑
exocytosis   the process by which a substance is released from the cell through a vesicle that transports the substance to the cell surface and then fuses with the membrane to let the substance out of the cell  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
