QuestionAnswer
Match the term with its definition: Hypotonic solution A solution containing fewer solutes than the cell
In chemical signaling, which of the following is considered to be a second messenger? Cyclic AMP
Pinocytosis is a type of __________. endocytosis
Which of the following pairs is a correct match? exocytosis: active membrane transport process
By which method does the following move into the cell molecules moving against the concentration gradient? active transport mechanisms
Match the type of membrane transport with the appropriate characteristic: primary active transport movement of a substance that utilizes a carrier; energy comes directly from hydrolysis of ATP
Match the type of membrane transport with the appropriate characteristic: secondary active transport. Driven indirectly by energy stores in concentration gradients of ions
Match the term with its definition: hydrostatic pressure The force of a liquid pushing against something
Which type of membrane transport process uses ATP as a source of energy? Primary Active Transport Active transport processes use ATP. Notice the first letter in each word.
By which method does the following move into the cell: movement of large particles, bacteria, or cellular debris by endocytotic vehicle. Phagocytosis
Correctly match the term and definition: the fusion of a vesicles with the plasma membrane to move substances out of the cell. Exocytosis
The electrochemical gradient recognizes the effect of both electrical and concentration (chemical) forces. The electrochemical gradient applies to which of the following substances? Sodium ions
Which of the following bonds to a specific receptor and initiated a response in a cell? Ligand
Cells of the body mainly use __________ for the selective endocytosis of most macromolecules. receptor-mediated endocytosis
Select the statement that is false regarding the resting membrane potential The minus sign of the testing membrane potential indicates that the outside of the cell is negative indicates that the outside of the cell is negative compared to its inside.
Proteins in the cell membrane that bind hormones and relay messages into the interior of the cell __________. perform a function known as signal transduction
Which of the following is true with regard to membrane potential? Transient opening of gated Na+ and K+ channels in the plasma membrane is a normal means of activating neurons and muscle cells.
Match the term with its definition: osmotic pressure The force that solutes have to attract water
By which method does the following move into the cell: movement of large particles, bacteria, or cellular debris by endocytoic vesicle Phagocytosis
Cyanide poisoning prevents the production of ATP. If ATP were not available to drive the sodium-potassium pump, which of the following is most likely? Na+ will leak back into the cell and being wafer with it causing cells to burst
Crenation takes place when a cell is placed in hypertonic solution
The electrochemical gradient recognizes the effect of both electrical and concentration (chemical) forces. The electrochemical gradient applies to which of the following substances? Sodium ions
A cell will swell, and likely burst, if it is placed in a(n) __________ solution. hypotonic
In chemical signaling, which of the following is considered to be a second messenger? Cyclic AMP
The resting membrane potential is mainly determined by The concentration gradient of K+ and the differential permeability of the plasma membrane to K+ and other ions
The sodium- potassium pump helps to maintain the concentration gradients for sodium and potassium ions across the plasma membrane. Select the true statement regarding the sodium-potassium pump For each molecule of ATP used, the pump moves three positively charged sodium ions out of the cell.
Correctly match the term and definition: endocytosis of a tiny quantity of extracellular fluid containing solute molecules pinocytosis
Correctly match the term and definition: vesicular transport that moved substances into cells Endocytosis

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.
