9th grd Passive Cell

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
cell membrane   also called the plasma membrane, separates the interior of all cells from its outside environment  
🗑
concentration gradient   the difference in the concentration of a substance between two areas  
🗑
crenation   a process resulting from osmosis in which red blood cells undergo shrinkage and acquire a notched surface  
🗑
diffusion   the net movement of small or uncharged particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration  
🗑
equilibrium   once a substance has fully dispersed through a medium  
🗑
extracellular space   the space outside of the cell membrane but part of a multicellular organism  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration-the particles cannot move directly so they move through channel proteins which function like doorways in the cell membrane  
🗑
flaccid   when the flow of water into the cell and out of the cell exists in equilibrium in a plant cell  
🗑
hypertonic   having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid  
🗑
hypotonic   having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid  
🗑
hydrophilic   having a tendency to mix with, dissolve in or be wetted by water  
🗑
hydrophobic   lacking an affinity (love) for water, insoluble in water or repels water  
🗑
intracellular space   the space within the organism's cells  
🗑
isotonic   solution with the same osmotic pressure as some other solution  
🗑
lipid bilayer   thin polar membrane made of 2 layers of lipid molecules  
🗑
lysis   the disintegration of a cell by rupture of the cell wall or cell membrane  
🗑
osmosis   the spontaneous passage or diffusion of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane  
🗑
partially permeable membrane   a membrane that is permeable to the small molecules of water and certain solutes but does not allow the passage of large solute molecules  
🗑
passive transport   process of moving substances in and out of a cell and requires no energy expenditure  
🗑
phosolipid   found in the cell membrane-has 2 parts the head (hydrophilic) and the tail (hydrophobic)  
🗑
plasmolysis   a process resulting from osmosis in which when water flows from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration and causes the cell membrane to shrink away from the cell wall of a plant cell  
🗑
surface area to volume ratio   the area on a cell's surface compared to the area inside the cell  
🗑
transport protein   protein that serves the function of moving other materials within an organism  
🗑
turgid   the state of being swollen especially due to high fluid content  
🗑


   

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.
