Study Guide

QuestionAnswer
Active Transport Substance is moved against or up their concentration gradient (molecule is moved from low to high concentration) - Energy is used (ATP) - Transport across the membrane require energy
Aquaporin Some water can cross the bilayer - water moved through special channel protein
Carrier Protein and Carrier protein help molecules to move across the membrane
Diffusion Molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until equal concentration throughout is reached - Passive transport - Energy comes from natural vibration of all molecules - Can occur across membrane
Concentration Gradient A solute is present in differing concentration in solvent. (Often on two different sides of a membrane)
Electrochemical Gradient Arise from combined effects of concentration gradient and electrical gradients
Endocytosis Cell takes in large particles or lots of things at once - Active transport, requires energy from cell - engulfed particles are transported into the cell inside vesicles
Exocytosis Move material out of the cell - Active transport, requires energy from cell - Cell use energy to dispose of undigested particles of waste or to secrete substance
Facilitated Transport Occurs when they move down a concentration gradient through integral membrane protein (Channel protein or Carrier protein) - No energy used, protein allow diffusion to occur - Passive transport
Fluid Mosaic Model Phospholipid bilayer: Flexible, fluid membrane that changes shape, each phospholipid can move around within the membrane. - The move bends (double bond) more fluid/flexible the membrane will be
Glycoprotein On the surface on phospholipid bilayers, Example include this in receptors and recognition protei
Hydrophilic Solute can be dissolved
Hydrophobic Solute cannot be dissolved
Hypertonic Solution with less water /more solutes - Water will exit the cell, the cell volume decrease - water move from area of more water to area in of less water out
Hypotonic Solution with more water/less solutes - Water will enter/cell volume increases - Water move from area of more water out to inside - Can burst the cell if no cell wall
Integral Protein Cross through the entire membrane (channel protein and carrier protein)
Isotonic solution is equal all side - no changes to the cell or volume to it
Osmolarity term for the total solute concentration of a solution
Osmosis diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane - special type of diffusion - high water concentration to the side with lower water concentration
Passive transport substance move down their concentration gradient - no energy needed - three types of this
Peripheral protein only on one side (inside or outside of a membrane) on phospholipid bilayer
phospholipid bilayer all cell membrane has this - double row of phospholipid - polar head face outward - non-polar inside the membrane - cholesterol in animal membrane keep them flexible
plasmolysis without enough water the membrane and cell contents inside the cell shrinks and the membrane detaches from the cell wall
selective permeable some molecules can pass, others cannot
Sodium potassium pump sodium is concentrated one side while potassium is concentrated on the other side of the membrane - important for maintaining nerve signaling, heart contractions and other body function
Solute a substance that can be dissolved in a solvent
Transport protein diffuse across a membrane through channel and carrier protein

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.
