Cell transport f14

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Active transport   movement of a particle through a membrane against a concentration gradient with the use of energy from ATP; from low to high areas  
🗑
cilia   hair like organelles that line the surfaces of some cells that beat in rhythmic waves, providing locomotion  
🗑
concentration gradient –   the difference in the amount of substances inside and outside of the cell  
🗑
contractile vacuole   found in many microorganisms that expand, filled with water and then empties contents to the exterior.  
🗑
diffusion   movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.  
🗑
facilitated diffusion –   type of passive transport that uses the aid of a protein to transport substances.  
🗑
flagella–   tail like extension of cytoplasm for movement.  
🗑
homeostasis   maintenance of the internal stability of a cell organism, or population in its environment  
🗑
osmosis   movement of water through a membrane from area of high concentration to an area of low concentration  
🗑
passive transport   The movement of a chemical substance across a cell membrane without expenditure of energy by the cell, as in diffusion.  
🗑
perspiration   serves both as a means of excretion and as a regulator of body temperature through the cooling effect of its evaporation  
🗑
protein pump – u   sed energy to moves substances form low to high concentrations  
🗑
receptor proteins   have a high specific affinity for binding agents known to stimulate cellular activity.  
🗑
stem cells   can divide (through mitosis) and differentiate into diverse specialized cell types  
🗑
tissue   group of cells with a common structure and function  
🗑


   

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.
