Factors
Substances
Crenate   to shrink in size      
🗑
Hemolysis   process of a blood cell rupturing in hypotonic solution      
🗑
Tonicity   effect of solutions on cell      
🗑
Passive Transport   no energy needed      
🗑
Active Transport   energy needed      
🗑
Brownian Movement   motion that causes them to bump into adjacent molecules      
🗑
Kinetic Energy   supplied by Brownian movement needed for passive transport mechanisms      
🗑
Concentraction Gradient   unequally distributed this will exist and one region will have a greater concentration of the substance than other regions      
🗑
Quilibrium   substance will diffuse until an equal distribution occurs      
🗑
Solution   result of dissolving a solute      
🗑
Solute   ex. salt      
🗑
Solvent   ex. water      
🗑
Osmotic Pressure   greater the solute concentration the greater the osmotic pressure f the solution      
🗑
Reverse Osmosis   a process in which the pressure applied to arm b is greater than the osmotic pressure      
🗑
Dialysis   passive process similar to osmosis except that, besides water, small solute particles can pass through a selectively permeable membrane      
🗑
Kidney dialysis   remove wastes from the blood of the patient whose kidneys are not functioning properly      
🗑
Isontonic   solution has the same solute concentraations as a cell      
🗑
Hypertonic   solution containing more solute (and therefore less solvent) than a cell; cell crenate      
🗑
Isontonic   solution has the same solute concentraations as a cell      
🗑
Hypertonic   solution containing more solute (and therefore less solvent) than a cell; cell crenate      
🗑
Pinocytosis   cell invaginates a small area of the cell membrane and traps not the large particles of phagocytois by rather small particles and fluid      
🗑
Exocytosis   active transport of materials out of the cell      
🗑
Diffusion   molecular movement of solutes direction determined by relative concentrations   size of gradient, size of molecules, change, lipid solubility temp.   small inorganic ions, lipid soluble materials  
🗑
Osmosis   movement of water molecules   concenttration gradient, opposing osmotic of hydrostatic pressure   water only (all cells)  
🗑
Filtration   movement of water, usually with solute, by hydrostatic pressure requires filtration membrane   amunt of pressure, size of pores in filter   water and small ions (blood vessels)  
🗑
Facilitated diffusion   carrier proteins passively transport solutes across a membrane down a concentration gradient   size of gradient, temp., availability of carrier protein   glucose and amino acids  
🗑
Active Transport   carrier proteins actively transport solutes across a membrane regardles of any concentration gradients   availability of carrier, substrate, and ATP   NA+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+  
🗑
Secondary Active Transport   carrier proteins passively transport two solutes, with one moving down its concentration gradient   availability of carrier,substrates, and ATP   glucose and amino acids  
🗑
Endocytosis   creation of membranous vesicles containing fluid or solid material   stimulus and mechanics incompletely understood, requires ATP   fluids, nutrients, debris, pathogens  
🗑
Exocytosis   fusion of vesicles, containing fluids and/or solids within the cell membrane   stimulus and mechanics incompletly understood, requires ATP   fluids, debris  
🗑
Hypotonic   solution containing less solute than a cell; cells lyse      
🗑
Phagocytosis   movement of large particles into 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.
