6.3 Cells Study Guide

Question 1

Facilitated diffusion

Answer 1

Large particles pass through the cell membrane through the process of Facilitated diffusion. Proteins are on the cell membrane and act like a channel allowing particles through.

Question 2

Simple Diffusion

Answer 2

Small particles pass through the cell membrane through the process of simple diffusion.

Question 3

Osmosis

Answer 3

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules.

Question 4

Hypertonic

Answer 4

Having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.

Question 5

Hypotonic

Answer 5

Having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.

Question 6

Isotonic

Answer 6

Any external solution that has the same solute concentration and water concentration compared to body fluids.

Question 7

Active transport

Answer 7

Type of Molecule moved: Glucose or amino acids
Movement over over concentration gradient:
Low to High
Requires energy and requires transport proteins.

Question 8

Exocytosis

Answer 8

Takes the large molecules and releases them outside the cell.

Question 9

Endocytosis

Answer 9

Is when the cell membrane takes the large particles and it moves into the cell.
