CELL MEMBRANE

bio unit 4

TermDefinition
active transport transport through cell membrane requiring energy
ATP name of energy required for active transport
aquaporin protein used in osmosis
cytolysis the bursting of cells
diffusion movement of particles in or out of a cell through the concentration gradient
concentration gradient _____ ______ goes from high to low
endocytosis absorbing materials into cell; 3 types
pinocytosis "cell drinking", taking in dissolved molecules through vesicles
receptor mediated "lock & key", uses receptors
phagocytosis "cell eating", engulfing large molecules like food, bacteria, etc into vesicles
exocytosis vesicles inside the cell transport materials outside the cell, fuse with membrane
hypertonic when solute is greater outside the cell than inside
hypertonic water moves out the cell
shrink in hypertonic solutions things ___ (in relation to size)
out water moves ___ of cell in hypertonic solutions
plasmolysis process of water moving out of a cell
isotonic equal amounts of solute inside and outside the cell, equillibrium
isotonic type of solution animal cells require to be at homeostasis
hypotonic when solute is lower outside the cell than inside the cell
hypotonic water moves in the cell
swell in hypotonic solutions things ___ (in relation to size)
cytolysis bursting of cells is called
hypotonic plant cells need ____ solutions to be at homeostasis
integral ___ / channel proteins are embedded completely through the membrane & have a pore for materials to cross
peripheral ____/carrier proteins are on one side of the membrane at a time (can flip), can change shape to move materials across the membrane
osmosis the transport of water across the cell membrane
tenacity concentration of a solute in a solvent
semipermeable allowing only certain material across
solution combination of solute and solvent
solute what is being dissolved
solvent what the substance is being dissolved in
turgor pressure water inside a plant cell pushing against cell membrane
heads phospholid ___ are hydrophilic
tails phospholipid ___ are hydrophobic
cholesterol stabilizes membrane so it's not too fluid and not too solid
glycoprotein aids in cell recognition and made of a protein and a carbohydrate chain
3 how many Na go out during active transport
2 how many K go in during active transport
Sodium ____- Potassium pump
passive simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis are example of ____ transport
simple ____ diffusion doesn't require a protein
facilitated ____ diffusion requires a channel protein
active transport Na-K pump, exocytosis, endocytosis are examples of ___ transport
against active transport goes ___ the concentration gradient
simple diffusion how O and CO2 get in the cell
hypotonic Greater concentration of water outside the cell than inside.
hypertonic Lower concentration of water molecules outside the cell than inside.
isotonic Same concentration of water molecules outside the cell as inside.
hypertonic large decrease in turgor pressure
Homeostasis isotonic

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.
