Cell Transport

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

Term
Definition
Phospholipid bilayer   Forms a boundary between the cell and it's external environment. Made of two layers of lipids with the hydrophobic tails towards the inside.  
🗑
Homeostasis   Maintenance of constant internal conditions in an organism.  
🗑
Permeable   Allows materials to cross the cell membrane.  
🗑
Semipermeable   Allows some, but not all, materials to cross the cell membrane.  
🗑
Protein   Structures that are embedded in the cell membrane. Can be used as pores or pumps to let molecules into and out of the cell.  
🗑
Active transport   Drives molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration.  
🗑
Against concentration gradient   The way molecules move during active transport.  
🗑
Endocytosis   The process of taking liquids or fairly large molecules into the cell by engulfing them in a membrane.  
🗑
Exocytosis   The release of substances out of a cell by the fusion of a vesicle with the membrane.  
🗑
Energy   ATP. Needed for active transport.  
🗑
Pump   Used during active transport to allow molecules against a concentration gradient.  
🗑
Passive transport   The movement of molecules across a cell membrane without energy input from the cell.  
🗑
Diffusion   The movement of molecules in a fluid or gas from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration.  
🗑
Osmosis   The movement of water from lower concentration of solutes to an area of higher concentration solutes through a membrane.  
🗑
Isotonic   The solution has an equal concentration of dissolved particles as the cell. Water moves across the membrane at the same rate.  
🗑
Hypertonic   Solution has a higher concentration of dissolved particles as the cell so the water flows out of the cell.  
🗑
Hypotonic   Solution has a lower concentration of dissolved particles as the cell so the water flows into the cell.  
🗑
Facilitated diffusion   Diffusion of molecules across a membrane through transport proteins.  
🗑
With Concentration Gradient   The way molecules move during passive transport.  
🗑
High to low   The way molecules move during passive transport.  
🗑
Solute   A substance that dissolves into a solvent.  
🗑
Solvent   The substance that is present in the greater amount that dissolves another substance.  
🗑
Equilibrium   The condition of a system in which competing influences are balanced, resulting in no net change  
🗑
Homeostasis   The maintenance of constant internal conditions in an organism.  
🗑


   

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.
