| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Integral membrane proteins | Are embedded in the membrane |
| Peripheral membrane proteins | Associated with the internal surface of the membrane |
| Passive Transport | Is the movement of molecules through the membrane in which no energy is required and molecules move in response to a concentration gradient. |
| Concentration gradient | A difference in concentration of a substance from one location to another, often across a membrane. |
| Diffusion | is movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration |
| Facilitated Diffusion | Diffusion of molecules across a cellular membrane through specific channels from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. Does not require energy from ATP cant go thru membrane easily can go thru proteins |
| Osmosis | The net diffusion of water across a membrane toward a higher solute concentration |
| Hypertonic | A solution with a higher concentration of solutes than the cell. Tends to lose water by osmosis. |
| Hypotonic | A solution with a lower concentration of solutes than the cell. Tens to take in water by osmosis. |
| Isotonic | A solution having the same concentration of solutes as the cell. Tends to take in and lose the same amount of water. |
| Active Transport | Moves substances from low to high concentration and requires energy ATP. |
| Uniporter | A carrier protein in a cell's membrane that transports only a single type of molecule or ion. |
| Symporter | A carrier protein in a cell's membrane that transports two molecules or ions in the same direction across the membrane. |
| Antiporter | A carrier of protein in a cell's membrane that transports two molecules in opposite directions across the membrane. |
| Endocytosis | Movement of substances into the cell. |
| Exocytosis | Movement of substances out of the cell. |
