🗑
Glycosylation   covalently attatching a carb to a protein lipid  
🗑
membrane synthesis   occurs in smooth ER, uses enzymes, glycosylation  
🗑
passive transport   no energy, with gradient, passive diffusion and facilitated diffusion  
🗑
active transport   energy input, against gradient, Na/K pumps  
🗑
factors affecting diffusion   size (smaller means faster), temperature (hotter means faster), gradient (steeper means faster), charge (more complex), pressure (higher means faster)

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.
