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
passive transport   substances crossing the cell membrane without any input of energy by the cell  
🗑
diffusion   movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
concentration gradient   the difference in the concentration of molecules across a distance  
🗑
equilibrium   the concentration of molecules is the same throughout the space the molecules occupy  
🗑
osmosis   the process where WATER molecules diffuse from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
hypotonic   describes a solution whose solute concentration is lower than the solute concentration inside the cell  
🗑
hypertonic   describes a solute whose solute concentration is higher than the solute concentration inside the cell  
🗑
isotonic   describes a solution whose solute concentration is equal to the solute concentration inside the cell  
🗑
contractile vacuole   organelles that remove water  
🗑
turgor pressure   the pressure that water molecules exert against the cell wall  
🗑
plasmolysis   the process in which the cells shrink away from the cell walls, ad turgor pressure is lost  
🗑
cytolysis   the bursting of cells  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   the transport of substances through a cell membrane along a concentration gradient with the aid of carrier proteins  
🗑
carrier protein   proteins that assist in the movement of molecules across the cell membrane  
🗑
ion channel   a complex of protein molecules in a cell membrane that form a pore through which ions can pass  
🗑


   

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.
