Passive Transport
A fun way to study for the cell membrane/passive transport quiz.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Fluid mosaic | The flexible cell membrane is made up of many parts |
| Selectively permeable | The cell membrane only lets certain molecules in and out |
| Phospholipid bilayer | Two layers of phospholipids |
| Hypotonic | Very few solutes |
| Hypotonic | Makes the cell swell |
| Hypertonic | Many solutes |
| Hypertonic | Makes the cell shrink |
| Isotonic | Equal solutes |
| Cytolysis | The cell swells |
| Plasmolysis | The cell shrinks |
| Dynamic equilibrium | Molecules are evenly spaced but keep moving |
| Diffusion | Small molecules move into/out of a cell |
| Facilitated diffusion | Large molecules move into/ out of a cell through a protein tunnel |
| Osmosis | The diffusion of water |
| Turgor pressure | The cell membrane pushes on the cell wall |
