Question
Answer
permeable   substances easily pass through the membrane  
🗑
semipermeable   some substances are able to pass through the membrane  
🗑
impermeable   nothing can get through the membrane  
🗑
homeostasis   process by which organisms maintain a stable internal environment  
🗑
cytolysis   causing of cells to burst  
🗑
crenation   shrinking of cells  
🗑
plasmolysis   shrinking of protoplasm from the cell wall of a plant due to water loss from osmosis, resulting in gaps between the cell wall and the cell memebrane  
🗑
dialysis   separation of particles in a liquid on the basis of differences in their ability to cross a membrane  
🗑
brownian movement   movement caused by the bombardment of water molecules that causes the jiggling of stain particles  
🗑
diffusion   particles moving from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
osmosis   diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane  
🗑
hypertonic   lesser concentration of solute  
🗑
hypotonic   higher concentration of solute  
🗑
isotonic   concentration of two solutions is the same  
🗑
ringer's solution   saline solution that usually contains sodium chloride, salts of potassium and calcium  
🗑
concentration gradient   particles moving through a solution or gas from an area with a higher number of particles to an area with a lower number of particles  
🗑
structure of a membrane and why they work to control movement of materials in and out of cells   thin, flexible barrier surrounding cells- provide protection and support  
🗑
materials that enter the cell through the phospholipid layer and effects   gasses, uncharged polar molecules- aided by passive diffusion, keep cells in balance  
🗑
three examples of active transport   molecular transport, endocytosis, and exocytosis  
🗑
what cell type has greater turgor pressure   plant cell  
🗑
what cell structure allows this higher turgor pressure to build up   cell wall  
🗑
what do contractile vacuoles do for aquatic animals and why is it important   get rid of excess water- so they don't get too full and explode  
🗑
what is the source of usable energy by the cell during active transport   atp  
🗑
what is the relationship between molecular weight of materials and the rate of diffusion   heavier they are the slower they diffuse  
🗑
three major factors that help determine whether materials are permeable to membranes or not   size, condition inside and outside the membrane, concentrations of solutes and water, size of the membrane  
🗑
three factors taht can influence the rate of diffusion   temperature, concentration difference, pressure  
🗑
solution has a dissolved particle concentration of 10% and a red blood cell is placed in the solution, what will happen to the cell and why   it will shrink- the sodium is causing the water to leave the cell  
🗑
osmometer is set up, the solution in the dialysis bag contains a 10% starch solution, the solution surrounding the bag contains a 20% starch solution, if starch is not permeable to the membrane, which direction will osmosis occur and why   solution will go out of the bag because it is more concentrated  
🗑
most common type of membrane in biological systems   semi permiable  
🗑
what cell structure is responsible for regulating osmotic control of the cell contents   cell membrane  
🗑
what substance would most likely pass through the membrane somewhere other than the pore   chloroform  
🗑
are water and mRNA compounds permeable through the nuclear membrane   yes  
🗑
what cell organelle is used to transport water out of an animal cell in an aquatic freshwater environment   contractile vacuole  
🗑
do all particles pass into the cell through the cell's pores   no  
🗑
do water molecules move in and out of cells placed in an isotonic solutions   yes  
🗑
what is the inner and outer layer of the cell membrane made from   proteins and lipids  
🗑
would turgor pressure be greater in animal cells than plant cells   plant cells  
🗑
does the plasma membrane draw away from the cell wall in plants during plasmolysis   yes  
🗑
salt water cell is left in the same concentration of salt water   stay the same  
🗑
red blood cell is put into distilled water   swell  
🗑
a fresh water animal cell is put into distilled water   swell  
🗑
red blood cell is put into salt water   shrink  
🗑
salt water animal cell is put in fresh water   swell  
🗑
is osmosis an example of active transport   no  
🗑
are contactile vacuoles very common in cells in a hypertonic solution   no  
🗑
would cells that have been placed in a solution with a 100% water concentration return back to their original condition if placed in a hypotonic solution   no  
🗑
is active transport a movement of particles against a concentration gradient   yes  
🗑
would potassium permanganate, methylene blue, glucose, or iodine diffuse through water more rapidly   iodine  
🗑
are cell pumps, permease, diffusion, and pinocytosis all forms of active transport   no  
🗑
what salt solution is often used in physiological experiments   ringer's solution  
🗑
where do chloroplasts move when a plant cell is placed in a salt solution   towards the center  
🗑
equilibrium   when the concentration of the solute is the same throughout a system  
🗑
what compound is used to test for the presence of salt   silver nitrate  
🗑
what cell structure allows turgor pressure in plants to build up   cell walls  
🗑
what cell structure aids many one celled organisms in aquatic environments eliminates excess water   contractile vacuole  
🗑


   

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.
