cell transport
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| active transposrt | movement of a particle through a membrane against a concentration gradient with the use of energy from ATP |
| amoeba | One-celled protozoan that can form temporary extensions of cytoplasm (pseudopodia) in order to move about. |
| diffusion | movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. |
| euglena | Any of various minute single celled freshwater organisms, characterized by the presence of chlorophyll, a reddish eyespot, and a single anterior flagellum |
| honeostasis | maintenance of the internal stability of a cell organism, or population in its environment |
| kidneys | function to maintain proper water and electrolyte balance, regulate acid |
| osmosis | movement of water through a membrane from area of high concentration to an area of low concentration |
| Osmotic pressure | increased water pressure that results from osmosis. |
| Paramecium | freshwater protozoans that have an elongate body rounded at the anterior end and an oblique funnel |
| Passive transport | The movement of a chemical substance across a cell membrane without expenditure of energy by the cell, as in diffusion. |
| Perspiration | serves both as a means of excretion and as a regulator of body temperature through the cooling effect of its evaporation |
| Protist | single celled or primitively multicellular organisms, characterized by having membrane bound organelles and a true nucleus. |
| receptor proteins | have a high specific affinity for binding agents known to stimulate cellular activity |
