Terms from Modern Biology word jumble worksheet
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| PLASMOLYSIS | (1)THE CONTRACTION OR SHRINKING OF A CELL IN A HYPERTONIC SOLUTION IN RESPONCE TO THE LOSS OF WATER BY OSMOSIS |
| CYTOLYSIS | (2)THE BURSTING OF A CELL |
| ION CHANNEL | (3)A COMPLEX OF PROTEIN MOLECULES IN A CELL MEMBRANE THAT FORM A PORE THROUGH WHICH IONS CAN PASS. |
| ACTIVE TRANSPORT | (4)THE MOVEMENT OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES USUALLY ACROSS THE CELL MEMBRANE, AGAINST A CENCENTRATION GRADIENT, REQUIRES CELLS TO USE ENERGY |
| HYPERTONIC | (5)DESCRIBES A SOLUTION WHOSE SOLUTE CONCENTRATION IS HIGHER THAN THE SOLUTE CONCENTRATION INSIDE A CELL |
| CARRIER PROTEIN | (6)A PROTEIN THAT TRANSPORTS SUBSTANCES ACROSS A CELL MEMBRANE |
| DIFFUSION | (7)THE MOVEMENT OF PARTICLES FROM REGIONS OF HIGHER DENSITY TO REGIONS OF LOWER DENSITY |
| OSMOSIS | (8)THE DIFFUSION OF WATER FROM A MORE DILUTE SOLUTION TO A MORE CONCENTRATED SOLUTION THROUGH A MEMBRANE |
| TURGOR PRESSURE | (9)THE PRESSURE THAT IS EXERTED ON THE INSIDE OF CELL WALLS AND THAT IS CAUSED BY THE MOVEMENT OF WATER INTO THE CELL |
| HYPOTONIC | (10)DESCRIBES A SOLUTION WHOSE SOLUTE CONCENTRATION IS LOWER THAN THE SOLUTE CONCENTRATION INSIDE A CELL |
| CONCENTRATION GRADIENT | (11)A DIFFERENCE IN THE CONCENTRATION OF A SUBSTANCE ACROSS A DISTANCE |
| EQUILIBRIUM | (12)IN BIOLOGY, THE STATE THAT EXISTS WHEN THE CONCENTRATION OF A SUBSTANCE IS THE SAME THROUGOUT A SPACE |
| FACILITATED DIFFUSION | (13)THE TRANSPORT OF SUBSTANCES THROUGH A MEMBRANE ALONG A CONCENTRATION GRADIENT WITH THE AID OF CARRIER PROTEINS |
| CONTRACTILE VACUOLE | IN PROTISTS, AN ORGANELLE THAT ACCUMULATES (14)WATER AND THEN RELEASES IT PERIDICALLY TO MAINTAIN OSMOTIC PRESSURE |
| ISOTONIC | (15)DESCRIBES A SOLUTION WHOSE SOLUTE CONCENTRATION IS EQUAL TO THE SOLUTE CONCENTRATION INSIDE A CELL |
| SODIUM-POTASSIUM PUMP | (16)A CARRIER PROTEIN THAT USES ATP TO ACTIVELY TRANSPORT SODIUM IONS OUT OF A CELL AND POTASSIUM IONS INTO THE CELL |
| PASSIVE TRANSPORT | (17)THE MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES ACROSS A CELL MEMBRANE WITHOUT THE USE OF ENERGY BY THE CELL |
| PHAGOCYTE | (18)A CELL THAT INGESTS AND DESTROYS (DIGESTS)FOREIGN MATTER OR MICROORGANISMS |
| ENDOCYTOSIS | (19)THE PROCESS BY WHICH A CELL MEMBRANE SURROUNDS A PARTICLE AND ENCLOSES THE PARTICLE IN A VESICLE TO BRIN THE PARTICLE INTO THE CELL |
| EXOCYTOSIS | (20)THE PROCESS BY WHICH A SUBSTANCE IS RELEASED FROM THE CELL THROUGH A VESICLE THAT FUSES WITH THE MEMBRANE TO LET THE SUBSTANCE OUT |
