| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Active Transport | Moves solutes against their concentration gradient. |
| Primary Active Transport | Required energy comes directly from ATP hydrolysis. |
| Secondary Active Transport | Required energy is obtained indirectly from iconic gradients created by primary active transport. Energy stored in gradients is used indirectly to drive transport of other solutes. |
| Vesicular Transport | Involves a large particles, macromolecules and fluids cross membrane in membranous sacs called Vesicles. |
| Endocytosis | Transport into cell |
| Exocytosis | Transport out of cell |
| Phagocytosis | type of endocytosis that is referred to as cell eating. |
| Pinocytosis | type of endocytosis that is referred to as cell drinking or fluid phase endocytosis. |
| Receptor Mediated Endocytosis | involves endocytosis and transcytosis of specific molecules. |
| Secretory Vesicle | Substance being ejected is enclosed in this |
| Resting Membrane Potential | Electrical potential energy produced by separation of oppositely charged particles across plasma membrane in all cells. Maintained by through action of the Na+-K+ pump, which continuously ejects 3Na+ out of cell and brings 2K+ back inside. |
| Cell Adhesion Molecules | every cell has thousands of sticky glycoprotein CAM's projection from membrane. |
| Plasma Membrane Receptors | Membranes receptor proteins serve as binding sites for several chemical signals. |
| Contact Signaling | Cells that touch recognize each other by each cells unique surface membrane receptors. |
| Chemical Signaling | Interaction between receptors and ligands that cause changes in cellular activities. Activated G protein. |
