| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Carrier Protein | a protein that transports specific across a biological membrane |
| Concentration Vacuole | n organelle in protists that expels water |
| Concentration Gradient | the difference in concentration of a substance across space |
| Diffusion | the process by which molecules move from an area of greater concentration to an area of less Concentration |
| Equilibrium | a state that exists when the concentration of a substance is the same throughout a space |
| Hypertonic | describing a solution whose solute concentration is lower than that inside cell |
| Ion Channel | a membrane protein that provides a passageway across the cell membrane through which an ion can diffuse |
| Isotonic | describing a solution whose concentration equals that inside a cell |
| Osmosis | the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane |
| Passive Transport | substances crossing the cell membrane without using any energy |
| Active Transport | Requires Energy, Cell Membrane Pumps, and Proteins in the membrane |
| Endocytosis | Consumption by the cell |
| Exocytosis | release by the cell |
| Facilitated Diffusion | Passive Transport, Movement of molecules that is too large to pass through the Membrane |
| Sodium-potassium Pump | a career protein that actively transports K+ ions inton and Na+ ions out of the cells |
| The Role of Carrier Proteins | they serve in facilities Diffusion transport molecules from an area of high concentration on one side of the membrane to an area of Low Concentration on the other side. |
| The Role Of ion channels | they provide small passageways across the cell. |
