| cell membrane | protects the cell and regulates what enters and leaves the cell |
| polar | phosphate head that faces the outsides and insides of cell, freely interacting with water |
| non-polar | fatty acid tails, attached to phosphate head that remain facing the inside of the cell membrane, avoiding water in and out of the cell |
| hydrophobic | scared of water |
| hydrophilic | water loving |
| fluid mosaic | flexible lipid bi-layer with proteins embedded |
| simple diffusion | small molecules like oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide can move thru the lipid bi-layer fro high to low concentration |
| facilitated diffusion | molecules that travel from high to low, thru channel protein |
| semi-permeable | lets SOME things pass through |
| equilibrium | concentration is the same throughout the system |
| active transport | uses ATP energy to move molecules across the membrane |
| passive transport | does not require energy to move molecules across the membrane |
| channel protein | protein that allows certain molecules to pass in and out of cell, from high to low concentration |
| protein pump | protein that allows specific molecules in and out cell, from low to high concentration, uses ATP |
