Cell Boundaries
Cell boundaries, Diffusion, Osmosis, and Hyper-Hypo-Isotonic solutions.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Protiens, protien channels, and a lipid bilayer. | Cell Membrane |
| Protects cell, regulates what goes in & out of cell, and helps maintain homeostasis. | Cell Membrane |
| Found in some bacteria and fungi, plants, and some protista. | Cell Wall |
| Involved in protection and structure | Cell Wall |
| The number of molecules or ions in one region is different than in another region. | Concentration Gradient |
| Where does a substance naturally go on its concentration gradient? | Down |
| Movement from an area of high concentration to low concentration. | Diffusion |
| Requires no energy to move in or out of cell | Passive Transport |
| Equal throughout | Equilibrium |
| Steeper concentration gradient, smaller molecules, higher temperature... | faster Diffusion |
| The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. | Osmosis |
| Equal concentration of solute inside and outside of the cell. | Isotonic |
| Higher solute concentration outside the cell than inside the cell-- cell shrinks. | Hypertonic |
| Higher solute concentration inside the cell than outside the cell-- cell expands. | Hypotonic |
| Requires energy; moving a substance against the concentration gradient-- low to high. | Active Transport |
| Active transport of substances into the cytoplasm. | Endocytosis |
| Active transport of substances out of the cytoplasm. | Exocytosis |
