Science Quiz

the rest of chapter 3 (1st semester, 9th grade)

QuestionAnswer
How do cells take in nutrients and get rid of waste? the semipermeable membrane allows some things to pass through and prevents others
What are the 2 ways that materials pass through the membrane? passive transport and active transport
Does passive transport need ATP? no
Does active transport need ATP? yes
What is simple diffusion? random movement of molecules from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration
What is facilitated diffusion? uses a concentration but also requires the use of carrier proteins
What is osmosis? diffusion of water across the semipermeable membrane
Why does the water move from solutions with higher water concentration? to make the higher solute equal parts water
What does a higher concentration of a solute mean? there is a lower water concentration (that is why the water moves into areas with a higher solute concentration)
What are the three ways that cells react to osmosis effects? 1) hypertonic 2) Isotonic 3) Hypotonic
What are hypertonic cells? shriveled cells
Why are hypertonic cells the way they are? fluid outside the cell has a higher concentration of solutes so water diffuses out of the cells
What are isotonic cells? healthy cells
Why are isotonic cells the way they are? the concentration outside and inside of the cells are equal parts water and equal parts solute
What are hypotonic cells? they are cells that have burst because of too much water in the cell
Why are hypotonic cells the way they are? the concentration of solute inside the cell if higher than the concentration of solutes outside of the cell
What are IVs? isotonic solutions that maintain balance in/out of cell
What is active transport? cell uses energy to transport objects in and out of the membrane
What is ATP? type of energy
What does ATP do? unlocks carrier carrier proteins to allow molecules in and out
What are the 2 types of bulk movement? 1) exocytosis 2) endocytosis
What is exocytosis? the golgi apparatus packages waste and cell products in sacs called golgi vesicles
What do the vesicles do? fuse to the membrane and secrete materials
What is endocytosis? membrane surrounds desirable molecules that are outside the cell
What does the membrane do? creates a vesicle and moves it into the cell
What does the vesicle do when it moves into the cell? either send contents to organelles or releases it into the cytoplasm
What are the 2 forms of endocytosis? 1) pinocytosis 2) phagocytosis
What is pinocytosis? cell drinking
What is phagocytosis? cell eating

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.
