SLS bio12 cell transport MM

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 Transport   Use of plasma membrane carrier protein and energy to move a substance into or out of a cell from lower to higher concentration  
🗑
Carrier Protein   Protein molecule that combines with a substance and transports it through the plasma membrane  
🗑
Cell Membrane   composed of a phospholipid bilayer which is actively selectively permeable, as molecules both actively and passively move in and out of the cell.  
🗑
Channel Protein   Forms a channel which allows a particular molecule or ion to cross the plasma membrane  
🗑
Concentration Gradient   Gradual change in chemical concentration from one point to another  
🗑
Diffusion   movement of molecules or ions from a region of higher to lower concentration; it requires no energy and stops when the distribution is equal.  
🗑
Endocytosis   Process by which substances are moved into the cell from the environment by phagocytosis or pinocytosis  
🗑
Exocytosis   Process in which an intracellular vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane so that the vesicles contents are released outside the cell.  
🗑
Facilitated Transport   Use of a plasma membrane carrier to move a substance in and or out of a cell from higher to lower concentration, no energy required.  
🗑
Fluid-mosaic membrane model   The phospholipid bilayer is represented as being fluid, and the proteins embeded are the mosaic components along with both glycolipids and glycoproteins.  
🗑
Glycolipid   Lipid in a plasma membrane that bears a carbohydrate chain attached to a hydrophobic tail  
🗑
Glycoprotein   Protein in a plasma membrane that bears a carbohydrate chain  
🗑
Hydrophilic   water loving- Type of molecule that interacts with water by dissolving in water and or forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules.  
🗑
Hydrophobic   water hating- type of molecule insoluble in water as it is non polar, does not interact with water  
🗑
Hypertonic   Higher solute concentration outside the cell than inside the cell --> causes cell to lose water through osmiosis  
🗑
Hypotonic   Lower solute concentration outside the cell than inside and causes net movement of water inside the cell to be positive  
🗑
Isotonic   Solution where solute concentrations are equal inside and outside the cell and there is no water net movement  
🗑
Osmosis   Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane  
🗑
Passive transport   Transport which moves down the concentration gradient and requires no energy  
🗑
Phagocytosis   Process by which amoeboid type cells engulf large substances, forming an intra-cellular vacuole- cell eating  
🗑
Phospholipid   molecule with phosphate polar waterloving head, and two non polar water hating tails  
🗑
Phospholipid bilayer   Two layers of phospholipids, makes up the cell membrane which is selectively permeable and allows small molecules such as oxygen and carbon dioxide  
🗑
Pinocytosis   Cell drinking, process which vesicle formation brings dissolved macromolecules into the cell  
🗑
Pressure gradient   Gradual descent as concentrations decrease, allowing molecules to pass with no ATP and just natural kinetic energy.  
🗑
Selectively permeable   Actively selecting which molecules will enter and which may not enter.  
🗑
Tonicity   the measure of osmiotic pressure  
🗑


   

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.
