Cellular Transport
Cell Transport
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| movement of substances other than water from high to low concentration | diffusion |
| movement of water molecules from high to low concentration | osmossis |
| movement of large particles from high to low with help of transport proteins | facilitated diffusion |
| type of transport that does NOT require energy | passive transport |
| type of transport that DOES require energy (ATP) | active transport |
| movement of large (food) particles into the cell requiring energy | endocytosis |
| movement of large (waste) particles out of the cell requiring energy | exocytosis |
| cell oganelle that allows certain material in and out of cell | cell membrane |
| cell organelle that makes energy (ATP) needed for active transport | mitochondria |
| solution that causes cell to swell up (get larger in size) | hypotonic solution |
| solution that causes cell to shrivel up (get smaller) | hypertonic solution |
| solution that causes no change in cell size | isotonic solution |
| cell membrane has this type of layer | phospholipid bilayer with proteins |
| diffusion continues until this stable stage is reached | equilibrium |
| molecules that need the help of a transport protein to cross the cell membrane | large or charged (positive / negative) |
| anything added to water ; water "loves" this -- will follow it | solute |
| describes when there is a difference in concentration levels between 2 areas | concentration gradient |
| chemical energy made by mitochondria needed to do active transport | ATP |
| process that ACTIVELY moves 3 Na ions out and 2 K ions into the cell against their gradient | sodium potassium pump |
