Osmosis, Membrane Structure, Active Transport

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
Turgor pressure   rigidity or stiffness of plants because of water pressure in central vacuole  
🗑
what does hypertonic do   shrink  
🗑
what does hypotonic do   swell  
🗑
what does isotonic do   no change  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   diffusion with aid of channel and carrier proteins  
🗑
diffusion   high to low concentration  
🗑
equilibrium   molecules equally distribute across available area  
🗑
the ability of a molecule or atom to diffuse through a membrane depend on what three factors?   size, charge, polar/nonpolar  
🗑
osmosis   water diffusing from high to low concentration across a membrane  
🗑
active transport   moves molecules across membrane using ATP energy  
🗑
what does active transport require   ATP energy  
🗑
active transport moves atoms or molecules against...   concentration gradient  
🗑
how does active transport change solute concentration on either side of the membrane?   maintains the difference in concentration  
🗑
hypotonic   high water low solute concentration  
🗑
hypertonic   high solute low water concentration  
🗑
isotonic   equal water and solute concentration  
🗑
channel protein   provide a pathway through the lipid bilayer for a charged substance to pass  
🗑
what ions or molecules pass through a channel protein and why?   charged substances because the fatty acid tails don't have a charge so they don't like them  
🗑
what are the two parts of the phospholipid bilayer?   phosphate group head, and 2 fatty acid tails  
🗑
describe the phosphate head of the phospolipid bilayer   it is polar and hydrophilic  
🗑
describe the fatty acid tails of the phospholipid bilayer   it is non polar and hydrophobic  
🗑
receptor proteins   receive and transmit messages from outside the cell and transport this signal into the cell  
🗑
permeable membrane   membrane which things can pass through  
🗑
semipermeable membrane   only some things can pass through  
🗑
endocytosis   cells import large particles  
🗑
pinocytosis   cell drinking. brings in droplets of extracellular fluid  
🗑
phagocytosis   cell eating. moves large particles or whole organisms into cell  
🗑
exocytosis   vesicles join the membrane dumping out contents  
🗑
why is fresh water sprayed on vegetables in a supermarket   because the water makes the cells become turgid and look healthy and fresh  
🗑
what are some molecules that can pass through the lipid bilayer and why?   O2 CO2 NH3. because they are small and nonpolar  
🗑
what is the purpose of the sodium potassium pump?   to maintain original concentration for signals  
🗑
how does the sodium potassium pump change the concentration of ions on either side of the membrane?   pushes Na out, and pulls K in  
🗑
how does the sodium potassium pump work?   pushes out 3 Na and pulls in 2 K  
🗑
how does a coupled channel work?   two molecules will enter the cell together while one moves up concentration gradient and one moves down concentration gradient  
🗑
amphipathic   a molecule with difference in polarity between 2 ends resulting in a difference in water solubility  
🗑
concentration gradient   2 different areas of solute  
🗑
electrical gradient   concentration gradient of ions  
🗑
extracellular fluid   fluid outside cell  
🗑
glycoprotein   membrane carbohydrates covalently bonded to proteins  
🗑
hydrophilic   water loving  
🗑
hydrophobic   water hating  
🗑
integral protein   protein that is the entire width of bilayer (transport/channel protein)  
🗑
interstitual fluid (IF)   fluid in between cells  
🗑
intracellular fluid (ICF)   fluid inside cell  
🗑
passive transport   substances move down their concentration gradient with no expended energy  
🗑
receptor mediated endocytosis   protein receptors will collect and move specific molecules into cell  
🗑
selective permeable   chooses what passes through  
🗑
vesicle   helps dump things out of membrane in exocytosis  
🗑
functions of plasma membrane   isolate cell contents from environment, regulate exchange of essential substances, communicate with other cells, creates attachments within and between other cells, regulates biochemical reactions  
🗑
why do phospholipids take the bilayer form when placed in water?   because of hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions  
🗑
what in animal membranes keeps them flexible?   cholesterol  
🗑
what feature makes the membrane fluid?   unsaturated fatty acids with double bonds creating kinks  
🗑
why do caribous hooves have more unsaturated fatty acids?   to keep the cell membrane fluid when it is cold  
🗑
what are the roles that proteins in the cell play?   transport important substances, membrane structure, cell identification, acquire food, remove waste  
🗑
fluid   substance that can move or change shape in response to external forces  
🗑
solute   substance that can be dissolved in a solvent  
🗑
solvent   fluid capable of dissolving a solute  
🗑
concentration   number of something in a given volume unit  
🗑
gradient   physical difference in temperature, pressure, charge, or concentration in two adjacent regions  
🗑
what do substances move in response to?   concentration gradient  
🗑
the greater the concentration gradient the faster...   the rate of diffusion  
🗑
membrane proteins and phospholipids can limit the things that can cross but not....   the direction of movement  
🗑
what kind of hings do cell membrane let cross? examples   small nonpolar O2 CO2 NH3  
🗑
what kinds of things do cell membranes not let cross? examples   large polar sugars, ions, water  
🗑
what does the flow of water across a membrane depend on?   the concentration of solutes in the internal or external solutions  
🗑
aquaporins   special protein channels water crosses the cell membrane in  
🗑
what is it called when a plant cell is in a hypotonic solution   turgid  
🗑
what is it called when a plant cell is in an isotonic solution   flaccid  
🗑
what is it called when a plant cell is in a hypertonic solution   plasmolyzed  
🗑
what are the 6 major functions of membrane proteins?   transport, enzymatic activity, signal transduction, cell-cell recognition, intercellular joining attachment to the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix.  
🗑
what stops the central vacuole from swelling?   cell wall  
🗑
what 2 factors decided which way water will move through a membrane?   solute concentration, difference between solute concentration  
🗑
recognition proteins   protein that marks and identifies an unknown cell  
🗑


   

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.
