Cell Transport (7.2)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| diffusion | movement of a solute (from high to low concentration) |
| osmosis | movement of water from hypotonic solution (low solute) to hypertonic solution (high solute) |
| selective permeability | membrane allows some things through and others not (like bouncer) |
| concentration gradient | differences in concentration |
| dynamic equilibrium | there is continuous movement but no overall change |
| passive transport | transport that does not require energy goes with the flow |
| active transport | requires energy (ATP) movement of a solute from low to high concentration (against concentration gradient) pumped through an intergal protein |
| facilitated diffusion | movement of a solute from high to low concentration (with concentration gradient) Through intergal protein channels or carriers in the membrane no energy required |
| peripheral proteins | found on inside our outside of the plasma membrane receptors that transmit signals inside the cell inner surface: give cell its shape |
| intergal proteins | transport proteins; move needed substances or waste materials through plasma membrane (so they contribute to selective permeability) |
| cholesterol | helps to prevent fatty-acid tails from sticking together |
| carbohydrates | chemical ID cards define cells characteristics and help cells identify chemical signals |
| brownian motion | the random motions of all atoms and molecules |
| exocytosis | the expulsion or secretion of materials from a cell (molecules are pushed into mouth as spit or saliva) |
| endocytosis | cell surrounds and takes in material from its environment (Ex. phagocytosis-eating solids and pinocytosis-drinking fluids) |
