| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
