|---|---|
| Takes up substances from and releases substances to the ouside enviroment. | Exocytosis |
| Specific reactions at the cell surface trigger the uptake of specific materals. | Receptor-mediated endocytosis |
| Part of plasma membrane; engulfs large particles or even entire cells. (cellular eating) | Phagocytosis |
| Allows two different molecules to go in two different directions through the plasma membrane. | Antiports |
| Allows two different molecules to go in one direction through the plasma membrane. | Symports |
| The energy dependent transport of a substance across a biological membrane against a concentration gradient. (low concentration to high concentration) | Active transport |
| The hydrostatic pressure of an enclosed solution in excess of the surounding atmosphere pressure. | Tugor pressure |
| Diffusion across a membrane; may ormay not require a channel character protein. | Passive transport |
| -Present in animal cells-Connexons (channel protein)-Allows communication between cells-Found in nerve tissue-Connexons span the plasma membrane; space is formed between the ephelilial cells. WHAT IS THE JUNCTION? | Gap junction |
| -Present in animal cells -Present in keratin and plaque protein-Connects adjacent cells; acts like rivets-Found in ephithelial tissues,horn, and skin-Keratin can stretch across the cell and weld itself to other adjacent cells. WHAT JUNCTION IS IT? | Desmosomes |
| -Present in ephelial cells-Present i specific proteins in the plasma membrane -Tightly seals adjacent cells together nothing can go between-Lining of lumen of organs such as intestines-Protein from a seal in the plasma membrane WHAT JUNCTION IS IT | Tight junction |
