| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| fluid mosaic | flexible lipid bilayer with proteins embedded |
| polar | phosphate head that faces the outside and inside of cell, freely interacting with water |
| non-polar | fatty acid tails, attached to phosphate head that remaining facing the inside of the cell membrane, avoiding water in and out of cell |
| active transport | uses ATP energy to move molecules across the membrane |
| passive transport | does not require energy to move molecules across the membrane |
| simple diffusion | small molecules like oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide can move thru the lipid bilayer from high to low concentration |
| facilitated diffusion | molecules travel from high to low, through channel protein |
| cell membrane | protects the cell and regulates what enters and leaves the cell |
