TermDefinition
plasma membrane physical barrier that separates the cell interior from the environment and regulates substances passing into or out of the cell
lipids and fats main components of the plasma membrane and of cell organelle membranes
bilayer lipid molecules form a ________ with protein molecules of various types distributed throughout the lipid bilayer
diffusion the process by which molecules move about by inherent random motion and become evenly mixed or dispersed
equilibrium exists when the molecules become uniformly distributed
concentration gradient exists when molecules are not evenly distributed
temperature, pressure, concentration, and molecule size variables that affect diffusion
selectively permeable some substances pass through more readily than others
impermeable completely prevents the passage of those molecules into or out of the cell
dialysis the diffusion of a dissolved solute through a selectively permeable membrane
osmosis diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
solutes particles in a solution
isotonic (iso=same) two solutions that have the same concentrations of solutes
hypertonic (hyper=higher) solution contains a higher concentration of solutes than another solution
hypotonic (hypo=lower) solution contains a lower concentration of solutes in comparison to another solution
monosaccharide one sugar
polysaccharide large molecule composed of many sugars
vacuole surrounded by the vacuolar membrane
vacuolar membrane is selectively permeable
turgor pressure presses the cytoplasm against the cell wall
turgid cells with turgor pressure
plasmolysis the shrinkage of the cytoplasm away from the cell wall

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.
