Information about the cell membrane and 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
The primary molecule that forms a cell membrane   Phospholipid  
🗑
Water loving   Hydrophilic  
🗑
These three types of molecules can diffuse through the cell membrane without help   Small molecules, nonpolar molecules, and some water molecules  
🗑
This phrase describes how molecules in the cell membrane float together unattached   Fluid Mosaic model  
🗑
This phrase describes the cell membrane's ability to control what enters and leaves   Selectively permeable  
🗑
The process by which a solute Will spread from an area of high concentration to Low concentration   Diffusion  
🗑
This word describes a condition where one area in a solution has a higher concentration than another   Concentration gradient  
🗑
Passive transport moves this way relative to the gradient   Down or with the gradient  
🗑
Passive transport is different from active transport in this important way   It does not use energy  
🗑
Large molecules may diffuse through the cell membrane with the help of these molecules   Channel proteins  
🗑
When water moves across the cell membrane due to a difference in concentration   Osmosis  
🗑
This form of active transport involves moving material into the cell   Endocytosis  
🗑
This part of a phospholipid is hydrophilic   The head  
🗑
This part of a phospholipid faces away from water   The tails  
🗑
Based upon the arrangement of the phospholipids, the cell membrane has been described using this two word term   Phospholipid bilayer  
🗑
ATP is used to open or close a special channel protein in this form of active transport   Protein pump  
🗑
Water will flow out of a cell if it is placed in this type of solution   Hypertonic  
🗑
Water fearing   Hydrophobic  
🗑
An animal cell may swell and burst in this type of solution   Hypotonic  
🗑
Controlling the material that moves in and out of the cell helps living things maintain this   Homeostasis  
🗑
If I have a cell in an isotonic solution, what would most likely happen if I added salt to the solution   The cell would shrink  
🗑
This form of active transport involves moving material out of the cell   Exocytosis  
🗑
If a large molecule uses a protein to move across the cell membrane without using any energy, it is this specific form of transport   Facilitated diffusion  
🗑
3 forms of passive transport   Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis  
🗑


   

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.
