SLS Bio 12 Cell Transport HO

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
Active trasnport   Transport against a concentration gradient that requires chemical energy  
🗑
Carrier Protein   involved in the movement of ions, small molecules, or macromolecule, across a biological membrane  
🗑
Cell Membrane   the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.  
🗑
channel protein   A protein that allows the transport of specific substances across a cell membrane  
🗑
concentration gradient   from higher concentration to lower concentration  
🗑
diffusion   the net movement of molecules or atoms from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration  
🗑
endocytosis   a form of active transport in which a cell transports molecules into the cell by engulfing them in an energy-using process.  
🗑
exocytosis   a form of active transport in which a cell transports molecules out of the cell by expelling them in an energy-using process  
🗑
facilitated transport   A form of passive transport in which materials are moved across the plasma membrane by a transport protein down their concentration gradient  
🗑
fluid mosaic membrane model   In this model, a flexible layer made of lipid molecules is interspersed with large protein molecules that act as channels through which other molecules enter and leave the cell.  
🗑
glycolipid   lipids with a carbohydrate attached. Their role is to provide energy and also serve as markers for cellular recognition.  
🗑
glycoprotein   any of a class of proteins that have carbohydrate groups attached to the polypeptide chain. Also called glycopeptide.  
🗑
hydrophilic   having a tendency to mix with, dissolve in, or be wetted by water.  
🗑
hydrophobic   tending to repel or fail to mix with water.  
🗑
hypertonic   a solution of higher osmotic pressure than another solution with which it is compared  
🗑
hypotonic   any solution with a lower osmotic pressure than another solution  
🗑
isotonic   a solution having the same osmotic pressure as some other solution  
🗑
osmosis   a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one  
🗑
passive transport processes   The movement of particles or ions across a semipermeable membrane without the expenditure of energy.  
🗑
phagocytosis   the engulfing of larger, solid particles  
🗑
phospholipid   a lipid containing a phosphate group in its molecule  
🗑
phospholipid bilayer   a two-layered arrangement of phosphate and lipid molecules that form a cell membrane  
🗑
pinocytosis   the ingestion of liquid into a cell by the budding of small vesicles from the cell membrane.  
🗑
pressure gradient   from higher pressure to lower pressure  
🗑
selectively permeable   a membrane that allows certain molecules or ions to pass through it by means of active or passive transport.  
🗑
tonicity   a measure of the amount of substance dissolved in a liquid  
🗑


   

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.
