Biology

QuestionAnswer
Passive transport The movement of substances across the cells membrane without the use of energy by the cell.
Concentration Gradient The difference in the concentration of a substance across a distance.
Equilibrium In chemistry the state in which a chemical reaction in the reverse chemical reactions occur at the same time wait such as the concentrations of reactants and products do not change.
Diffusion The movement of particles from regions of higher density two regions of a lower density.
Osmosis The diffusion of water or another solvent from a more dilute solution. To a more concentrated solution through the membrane that is permeable to the solvent .
Hypertonic solution Describe a solution whose solute concentration is higher than the solute concentration inside a cell.
Hypotonic solution Describes a solution whose solute concentration is lower than the solute concentration inside a cell.
Isotonic solution A solution whose solute concentration is a equal to the solute concentration inside a cell.
Ion channel A poor and a cell membrane through which ions can pass.
Carrier proteins A protein that transports substances across a cell membrane.
Facilitated diffusion Transport of substances through a cell membrane along a concentration gradient with the aid of carrier proteins.
Active transport The movement of chemical substances usually across the cell membrane against concentration gradient requires cells to use energy.
Sodium potassium pump Carrier protein that uses of ATP to actively transport sodium ions out of the cells and potassium ions into the cells.
Endocytosis The process by which a cell membrane surrounds the particle in encloses the particle in a vessel to bring the particle into the cell.
Exocytosis Process by which a substance is released from the cell through a vessel that transports the substance to the cell surface and infuses with the cell membrane to work out the substance.
Receptor protein A protein that binds specific signal molecules with causes the cell to respond
Second messenger A molecule that is generated when a specific substance attaches to a receptor on the outside of a cell membrane which produces a change and sell your functions

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
