Cell transport

QuestionAnswer
Active transport Requires the input of energy to move molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration
Endocytosis The movement of relatively large quantities of material into a cell at one time.
Exocytosis The movement of relatively large quantities of material out of a cell at one time.
Diffusion The movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration, without the input of energy
Osmosis The movement of water from a high concentration to a low concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane without the input of energy.
Hypotonic The concentration of solutes in the solution is lower than inside the cell.
Hypertonic The concentration of solutes in the solution is higher than inside the cell.
Isotonic The concentration of solutes inside the cell is the same as outside the cell.
passive transport the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell
Concentration Gradient the difference in the concentration of molecules across a distance.
facilitated Duffusion the transport of substances through a cell membrane along a concentration gradient with the aid of carrier proteins.
Equilibrium A balance between the concentration of molecules on each side of the cell membrane.
Semi- Permeable Allows some things to pass through while others do not pass through.
Transport Protein A large protein "stuck" in the cell membrane. It allows large molecules and particles to move into the cell. (and also out of the cell)
Cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell.

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.
