Cell Transport

Cell Membrane, Diffusion and Osmosis and Active Transport

QuestionAnswer
Passive transport transport that does not use energy
Active transport Transport that uses energy
diffusion movement of particles from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
integral proteins proteins that go all the way through the membrane
channel proteins "gates" of the cell
Why are channel proteins important? transport food and other molecules in and waste out
Receptor proteins "Informers of the cell"
Why are receptor proteins important? Gather info about the cells surroundings Triggers a response inside the cell when the right molecule attaches
hormones chemicals secreted by glands that can illicit a response in the cell when bound by a receptor protein
Marker Protein "Name tags of the cell"
Why are marker proteins important? Tell what type of cell it is Tell if that cell is YOUR cell or an invading cell
equilibrium having the same amount of particles throughout
osmosis movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane in response to a high solute concentration
peripheral proteins proteins on one side of the membrane
phospholipid heads ~are polar ~are on the outside and inside of the cell membrane
phospholipid tails ~are non-polar ~made of lipids (fats) ~ are the center of the cell membrane
Facilitated Diffusion diffusion through selective pores
How does glucose get into most cells? Facilitated diffusion - through channel proteins
3 types of integral proteins *Cell surface protein *Receptor Protein *Marker Protein
solute particle in solution
hypertonic solution more solute particles outside the cell than inside
hypotonic solution more solute particle inside the cell than outside
isotonic solution same amount of solute inside and outside the cell
In Osmosis, water will always move toward what? the highest solute concentration
This will happen if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution Cell will shrink
This will happen if a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution Cell will burst
This will happen if a cell is placed in a isotonic solution Cell will stay the same
Why does active transport need energy? Because the molecules are going against the concentration gradient
Proton pumps *use ATP to move small molecules and ions against the gradient *used to make ATP from ADP during chemiosmosis in photosynthesis
Sodium-Potassium Pumps *the most important energy-using process in your body! *Use ATP to move sodium ions (Na+) out and potassium ions (K+) in
Why are sodium-potassium pumps so important? When the Na+ comes back in through a Coupled channel protein, it often brings glucose with it thus bringing food into the cell
endocytosis Cell engulfs or "eats" another cell
Phagocytosis Cell eating a solid substance
Pinocytosis Cell bringing in a large quantity of liquid
exocytosis Cell releases substances out of the cell *Ex: hormones, waste, proteins

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.
