Cellular transport

QuestionAnswer
Cells move molecules, matter, organisms across their cell membrane using only passive systems. T or F F
A passive cellular transport system requires the cell to spend energy in the form of ATP T or F F
A cellular transport system that does not require the cell to spend energy is referred to as a what? passive system
A cellular transport system that does require the cell to spend energy is referred to as what? Active system
A difference of molecule concentration across space is referrd to as a concentration what? gradient
Passive cellular transport systems rely on molecules moving from a __________ concentration to a __________ concentration higher to lower
The energy that molecules move by in passive systems is provided by the vibrational energies contained in the chemical __________ of the molecules. bonds
If a cell dehydrates and cannot reestablish homeostasis, the cell will undergo ____________ plasmolysis
Cells undergo plasmolysis when they are in what kind of environment? hyertonic
If a cell was placed in a hypotonic enivronment and could not achieve homeostasis due to some pathology, the cell would eventually undergo ___________ cytolysis
The suffix lysis means what? divide
Is osmosis a passive or active system ? passive
What is the name of the process that water moves across a cell membrane by? osmosis
Passive cellular transport systems include: ionic channel difussion, simple diffusion, facillitated diffusion and osmosis
Active cellular transport systems include: endocytosis and exocytosis
Define phagocytosis: Part of endocytosis whereby a cell can bring into it's interior large particles or even whole organisms to be destroyed or metabolized.
If a cell brings in fluid and small dissolved solutes, we refer to this form of endocytosis as: pinocytosis
If a cell had 10 percent solutes inside it's cell membrane and 20 percent solutes in the interstitial fluid it would be in a __________ environment. hypertonic environment
If a cell were in a hypetonic environment, which way would solutes move and by what process? solutes would move into the cell by simple diffusion.
What cellular membrane molecules are involved in the process of facillitated diffusion? carrier proteins.
Cellular transport systems are employed by cells to help maintain__________________ isotonic environment or homeostasis
If a solute was a really big molecule, the ACTIVE form of transport employed would be______________________? Endocytosis , more specifically phagocytosis
If a solute was a really big molecule, the PASSIVE form of transport employed would be_______________? Facilitated diffusion.
The part of a solution that does the dissolving is called the __________? solvent
The part of the solution that gets dissolved is called the __________ solute

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.
