Question
Answer
Movement of molecules from 1 location to another b/c of random thermal molecular motion; always occurs from a region of high concentration to low.   show
🗑
Irregular motion of small particles suspended in a liquid or a gas   show
🗑
the amount of molecules crossing a surface in a unit of time   show
🗑
difference between two one-way fluxes   show
🗑
state during which diffusion fluxes in opposite directions are equal; that is, the net flux equals zero   show
🗑
4 factors that affect the rate of diffusion:   show
🗑
show Permeability coefficient  
🗑
Give examples of "non-polar molecules" that are able to diffuse through lipid bilayers   show
🗑
small passage in plasma membrane through which certain small diameter molecules and ions can diffuse   show
🗑
voltage difference between inside and outside of a cell   show
🗑
Name the most common ions that diffuse through channels and their normal direction with relation to cells.   show
🗑
show Electrochemical gradient  
🗑
show Channel gating; (3) different types: chemically, mechanically, & voltage gated.  
🗑
show (ligand) or Chemically gated channel  
🗑
membrane ion channel that is opened or closed by deformation or stretch of the plasma membrane   show
🗑
show Voltage gaged channel  
🗑
show Mediated transport  
🗑
integral membrane protein that mediates passage of molecule through membrane; also called carrier   show
🗑
system that uses a transporter coupled to an energy source to move ions or molecules across a membrane against an electrochemical difference; "uphill"   show
🗑
show Facilitated transport  
🗑
show Primary Active Transport  
🗑
show Secondary Active Transport  
🗑
show Na+/K+ ATPase pumps: For each ATP hydrolyzed, 3 Na ions pump out of a cell & 2 K ions pump in.  
🗑
show Intracellular fluid: Na= 15mM, K= 150mM; Extracellular fluid: Na= 150mM, K= 5mM  
🗑
show Cotransport  
🗑
show Countertransport  
🗑
show Osmosis  
🗑
total solute concentration of a solution; what is the "normal" physiological level?   show
🗑
one mole of solute ions and molecules   show
🗑
membrane permeable to some substances (usually water) but not to others (some solutes)   show
🗑
show Osmotic pressure  
🗑
dissolved substance that does not passively diffuse across a plasma membrane   show
🗑
any solution that does not cause the change in cell size; has the same concentration of non-penetrating solutes as normal extracellular fluid   show
🗑
solutions that have a non-penetrating solute concentration lower than that found in cells, therefore water moves by osmosis into the cells, causing them to swell   show
🗑
show Hypertonic  
🗑
show Isoosmotic  
🗑
having total solute concentration less than that of normal (300mOsm)extracellular fluid   show
🗑
show Hyperosmotic  
🗑
process in which intracellular vesicle fuses with plasma membrane, & its contents are released (exit) into the extracellular fluid   show
🗑
show Endocytosis  
🗑
type of "fluid" endocytosis in which vesicles "drink" small amounts of extracellular fluid   show
🗑
type of endocytosis in which vesicles "eat" large amounts of extracellular fluid   show
🗑
show Receptor-mediated endocytosis  
🗑
show Paracellular pathway  
🗑
crossing an epithelium by movement into an epithelial cell, diffusion through the cytosol of that cel, and exit across the opposite membrane   show
🗑
show Endocrine gland  
🗑
cluster of epithelial cells cells specialized for secretion and having ducts that lead to an epithelial surface   show
🗑
  show
🗑
show  
🗑


   

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.
