QuestionAnswer
5.2 What is the function for the cell and type of tissue Tight Junctions are found in? -They hold cells together, maintain density, and control passage in space between cells-epithelial tissue (intestines, skin)
5.2 What is the function for the cell and type of tissue Desmosomes are found in? They connect adjacent cells and act like a rivet (button). Found in Epithelial tissue- horns, nails, skin
5.2 What is the function for the cell and type of tissue Gap Junctions are found in? Communication and found in muscule and nerve tissue
5.2 What is the function for the cell and type of tissue Plasmodesmata are found in? Permits the diffusion of water, ions, small molecules, RNA, and proteins between connected cells through ER. Also for communication. Found in plant cells.
5.3 What are 3 terms used to compare solute concentrations? HYPERTONIC- when a solution has a higher concentration of solute.HYPOTONIC- when a solution has a lower concentration of solute.ISOTONIC- solutions have equal solute concentrations
5.3 In facilitaed diffusion what 2 proteins are involved? Channel proteins or carrier proteins. They help substances pass or speed up the diffusion.
5.4 What are the differences between Primary Active Transport and Secondary Active Transport? Primary Active Transport requires teh direct use of the energy-rich milecule of ATP.Secondary Active Transport doesn't use ATP directly; rather, its energy is supplied by an ion concentration gradient established by primary active transport.
5.4 Describe 3 different types of membrane proteins invoved in active transport UNIPORTS transport one substance in one direction. SYMPORTS transport two different substances in the same direction. ANITPORTS transport two different substances in opposite directions.
5.5 What type of cells use phagocytosis? Unicellular protists and some white blood cells.
5.5 What is Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis used for? Its used by animal cells to capture specific macromolecules from teh cell's environmembt. Most mammalian cells use this to take cholesterol from the blood.
5.5 What is exocytosis? The process in which materials are packaged in vesicles and then secreted from a cell when the vesicle membrane fuses with the plasma membrane.
How man molecules are moved by a symport? 2 different kinds
What are the differences between a symport and an antiport? Symport moves two substances in one direction. Antiport moves two substances in opposite directions.
Does active transport move with or against the concentration gradient? Against
What type of port is the sodium-potassium pump? Antiport
How many molecules of potassium in the soduim-potassium pump are moved? 2
Which way are the sodium molecules in a sodium-potassium pump being pumped? Out of the cell
What helps change the shape of the protein pump in the Na-K Pump? The ATP

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.
