Question
Answer
What happens to a freshwater organism when it is transfered to sea water?   it's cells will shrink; crenate  
🗑
What factors influence the rate of diffusion through a selectively permeable membrane?   size of the molecules, temperature of the environment,concentration of the solutes  
🗑
Diffusion of nonpolar molecules are not affected by __________________.   charge  
🗑
Type of diffusion that requires energy of ATP.   active transport  
🗑
Type of diffusion that does not require the energy of ATP.   passive transport  
🗑
Types of active transport.   Na-K pump, endocytosis, exocytosis  
🗑
Movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration would require ___________ and is therefore _________________.   ATP; active transport  
🗑
Molecules moving down the concentration gradient from high concentration to low concentration does not require ____________ and is therefore _______________.   ATP; passive transport  
🗑
An environment that has a higher solute concentration and a lower water concentration than the cell   hypertonic environment  
🗑
An environment with a hight water concentrationa and a lower solute concentration than the cell.   hypotonic environment  
🗑
An environment that has the same concentration of solutes and the same concentration of water as the cell.   isotonic environment  
🗑
What happens to a plant cell placed in a hypertonic environment?   contents shrink; plasmolysis  
🗑
What happens to an animal cell placed in a hypertonic environment?   it will shrink; crenate  
🗑
What happens to a plant cell placed in a hypotonic environment?   it will swell; turgid, stiff (not burst because of cell wall)  
🗑
What happens to an animal cell placed in a hypotonic environment?   it will swell and burst  
🗑
Passive transport that requires the use of a transport protein to transport the molecule across the membrane.   facilitated diffusion  
🗑
The gradual change in solute concentration high to low concentration.   concentration gradient  
🗑
The movement of molecules against the concentration gradient would be _____________.   active transport  
🗑
The gradual spreading of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.   diffusion  
🗑
The diffusion of water molecules only.   osmosis  
🗑
Sodium-potassium pump is an example of ______.   active transport  
🗑
The engulfing of molecules too large to fit through the integral proteins. Why can't plant cells do this?   phagocytosis; cell wall is to rigid  
🗑
who proposed the "Fluid Mosaic Model" for the structure of cell membranes?   Singer and Nicolson  
🗑
the fluid mosaic model of cell membranes proposes what structure of membranes   a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins  
🗑
animal cell membranes have what types of molecules as structural components?   phospholipids, proteins, and cholesterol  
🗑
what property does cholesterol add to animal cells   allows the membrane to be fluid like even at colder temperatures  
🗑
a molecule that is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic   amphipathic  
🗑
how can a polar compound like proteins be embedded in a nonpolar membrane   it must be amphipathic with both polar and nonpolar radicals in its tertiary structure  
🗑
how can fatty acids in the phospholipid help keep the membranes more fluid than solid?   double bond kinks spread the molecules out and keep them from packing together tightly; less dense  
🗑
proteins that span the width of the membrane   integral proteins  
🗑
proteins limited to the outer or inner surface of the plasma membrane   peripheral proteins  
🗑
molecules that pass through a membrane easily   small and hydrophobic  
🗑
molecules that pass through a membrane the fastest   gases; O2, CO2, etc.  
🗑
water diffuses through proteins called   aquaporin  
🗑
what is the voltage across a membrane called?   membrane potential  
🗑
types of passive transport   diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion  
🗑
carrier molecules of the membrane used in active transport   proteins  
🗑
what happens to a cell placed in sea water   it shrivels (crenation) because sea water is hypertonic  
🗑
plant cells placed in fresh water   will become turgid from internal pressure caused by the gain of water  
🗑
a solution has of 5% salt concentration is separated from a solution of 15% salt concentration by a membrane that is permeable to salt but not to salt......what will happen   5% side is hypotonic and water will move from the 5% side to the 15% side  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
