The cell membrane

Haley Freshman Biology - Myrick

QuestionAnswer
Functions of the Cell Membrane (3) 1) regulates what enters and leaves the cell 2) protection 3) support
The cell membrane is made of a lipid bilayer
the cell membrane has what embedded within the membrane? protein molecules (carbohydrate molecules are attached to many of the protein molecules)

What is cytoplasm the portion of the cell within the membrane that is not the nucleus
the cell membrane has what embedded within the membrane? protein molecules (carbohydrate molecules are attached to many of the protein molecules)
the cell membrane has what embedded within the membrane? protein molecules (carbohydrate molecules are attached to many of the protein molecules)
selectively permeable some substances can pass through and some cannot
What characteristic does the cell membrane have ? selectively permeable
selectively permeable some substances can pass through and some cannot
What are the channels or pumps made of that move the materials from one side of the cell to the other? protein channels
What characteristic does the cell membrane have ? selectively permeable
Equilibrium when the concentration of the solute inside the cell is the same as the concentration outside the cell.
What are the channels or pumps made of that move the materials from one side of the cell to the other? protein channels
What is cytoplasm the portion of the cell within the membrane that is not the nucleus
Diffusion the process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
What molecule is the cytoplasm mostly made of ? water
Equilibrium when the concentration of the solute inside the cell is the same as the concentration outside the cell.
When equilibrium is reached to the molecules stop moving? No, the water will move back and forth
Diffusion the process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
Equilibrium when the concentration of the solute inside the cell is the same as the concentration outside the cell.
concentration gradient the process by which WATER moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
why does diffusion occur? because molecules are constantly movie and colliding with eachother
What types of particle transport do not require energy? (3) diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion
When equilibrium is reached to the molecules stop moving? No, the water will move back and forth
osmosis the process by which WATER moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
Active Transport Molecules move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
What types of particle transport do not require energy? (3) diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion
Does Active Transport require energy or not? Why? Yes it requires energy because it is moving particles against the concentration gradient .
Active Transport Molecules move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
Facilitated diffusion when the cell membrane helps (facilitates) the diffusion of materials across the membrane
Where does facilitated diffusion occur in the cell membrane? through protein channels
Endocytosis the process of taking material into the cell by the means of infoldings or pockets, of the cell membrane
What molecules are taken into the cell during phagocytosis? way of taking in food. extensions of cytoplasm surround a particle and package it within a food vacuole.
What molecules are taken into the cell during pinocytosis? when the cells take up liquid from the surrounding environment. Tiny pockets form along the cell membrane, fill with liquid and pinch of to form vacuoles within the cell.
Exocytosis when the membrane of the vacuole surrounding the material fuses with the cell membrane forcing the contents out of the cell
concentration of a solution the MASS of a solute in a given volume of solution, or mass/volume
what is the concentration of a solution containing 100 g of NaCl and 10 ml of water? (how do you solve?) (remember UNITS) percent composition by mass, volume percent, mole fraction, molarity, molality, or normality.
Isotonic when the concentration of a (salt/sugar) solute is equal (same) on both sides
Hypertonic when there is MORE solute (salt/sugar) molecules outside of the cell
Hypotonic when there is LESS solute molecules outside the cell
know how to draw a picture of Isotonic, hypertonic and hypoton cells http://epiehonorsbiology.wikispaces.com/file/view/hypotonic_solutions.jpg/275922262/545x434/hypotonic_solutions.jpg
What type of pressure caused the chloroplasts to move against the plant cell wall? Turgor pressure
What will happen to an animal cell that is placed in a solution of fresh water and why does this happen? The plant will wilt because the concentration of water in saltwater is lower than the concentration of water in the plant itself (because it is a freshwater plant). Water will diffuse out of each individual cell and the cell will crenellate (or shrivel up
In the lab using elodea leaf, where did the chloroplasts move when they were bathed in a hypertonic salt solution? This picture shows plasmolyzed Elodea after the slide had been soaked with salt solution. Notice that the chloroplasts have all clumped into the middle. This demonstrates the effect on a hypertonic solution on living cells.
What will happen to an animal cell that is placed in a solution of salt water? Why does this happen? if the solution is hypertonic (there are more solutes in the solution than in the cell) then the water in the cell will move out thus shrinking the cell in the process called plasmolysis to achieve equilibrium
What type of solution is distilled water? xyxyxyxyyxyxy
In the lab using the elodea leaf, where did the chloroplasts move when they were bathed in distilled water? This picture shows normal Elodea. The chloroplasts are spread throughout the cell both before the salt solution, and after the distilled water is put onto the slide. Distilled water represents a hypotonic solution, yet the cells do not burst because of th
What type of pressure caused the chloroplasts to move against the plant cell wall? xoxoxoxoxo
What happens in the cells of a plant if it is not watered? xoxoxoxoxoxooxox
What is cell specialization? cells throughout an organism can develop in different ways to perform different tasks
List the four types of tissues in the body muscle, epithelial, nervous, connective
What is the function of muscle tissue? oxoxoxoo
What is the function of epithelial tissue? xooxoxooxox
What is the function of nervous tissue?
How does the structure of a red blood cell help it to do its job? xoxoxoxoxox
What type of tissue makes up skin and lines your internal organs? epithelial
What type of tissue allows you to run in a race? muscle
What type of tissue provides support for the body? Examples of this type of tissue are tendons, bones, ligaments , and blood. xoxoxo
What type of tissue makes up skin and lines your internal organs? epithelial

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
