Membrane Transport

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   when substances cross the membrane without the use of energy  
🗑
diffusion   movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
concentration gradient   the difference in amounts of substances on either side of a membrane-usually one side has more than the other  
🗑
equilibrium   When the concentration of substances are equal on both sides of a membrane  
🗑
plasmolysis   lack of water in a plant. It wilts  
🗑
cytolysis   the bursting of red blood cells when placed in a hyotonic solution  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   aided by special proteins imbedded in the membrane molecules cross without energy  
🗑
carrier protein   in the membrane, this helps molecules travel across the membrane without using energy  
🗑
ion channel   small passageways in the membrane that allow Na+ or Cl- to pass through  
🗑
osmosis   when water moves from one side of a membrane to another-moving from higher to lower concentration  
🗑
hypotonic   when the solution outside a cell is less concentrated than inside the cell  
🗑
hypertonic   when the solution outside a cell is more concentrated than inside the cell  
🗑
isotonic   when a solution outside a cell is the same concentration as inside the cell  
🗑
contractile vacuole   organelle that removes water for some organisms like paramecium  
🗑
turgor pressure   the pressure that water exerts on the cell walls and central vacuoles of plants.  
🗑


   

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.
