A

Phospholipid molecules

27
Q

Hydrophilic

A

water loving

28
Q

Hydrophobic

A

water fearing

29
Q

Hydrophilic

Makes up the ____ of the phospholipid.
Dissolve easily in water.

30
Q

Hydrophobic
Makes up the ____ of the phospholipid.
Water molecules repel, or push away the ____ end of the phospholipid.

31
Q

Phospholipids arrange themselves into two layers called a…

32
Q

The hydrophilic head faces…, towards the water.

33
Q

The hydrophobic tail is sandwiched ______ where it is shielded from water.

34
Q

2 membrane functions

A

Biological Barrier
Selective filter

35
Q

Prevents many substances from entering the cell that may harm the cell in a way.

A

Biological Barrier

36
Q

Cell membranes must be able to allow some materials to cross while excluding others.
Called being Semi-Permable

A

Selective filter

37
Q

Semi-Permeability depends on..

A

Particle size
Membrane proteins

38
Q

Molecules that are small (like water and oxygen) can cross the membrane by slipping in between phospholipids.

A

Particle size

39
Q

Proteins embedded in the cell membrane act like… into or out of the cell.

A

passage ways

40
Q

They transport certain substances through the membrane.

A

Transport proteins

41
Q

The cell membrane is..

A

semi-permeable
allows water to pass through while excluding all other molecules.

42
Q

In passive transport, where does the energy that allows the particles to move come from?

A

Brownian Motion

43
Q

Factors that affect the rate of diffusion.

A

Temperature, size, concentration

44
Q

Why the diffusion rate increases with temperature?

A

The concentration level depends in the temperature.

45
Q

In what phase (solid, liquid, gas) does diffusion occur at the highest/lowest rate?

A

Solid is slowest and Gas is fastest

46
Q

In facilitated passive transport, why is the size of the channel important?

A

The amount of ions passing through depends in how wide the channel is.
Wider = more molecules

47
Q

does the concentration gradient for the ion or molecule determine the net direction and rate of movement?

48
Q

is atp (a type of energy) required for a cell to do facilitated passive transport (diffusion)?

A

no energy is needed

49
Q

The movement of particles from high to low concentration is called..

50
Q

The order if particle movement from fastest to slowest is..

A

gas -> liquid -> solid

51
Q

A channel protein might look like..

52
Q

A shuttle (carrier) might look like

A

A lock and key

53
Q

2 ways in which molecules will be transported across the cell membrane in order to reach equilibrium:

A

Passive Transport and Active Transport

54
Q

Uses energy to transport molecules against their concentration gradients.

Moves particles from low to high concentration.

Like riding a bike uphill

A

Active transport

55
Q

Cells use active transport for 2 reasons:

plant cells…
animal cells…

A

plant cells located in the roots take in minerals from the surrounding soil.
animal cells remove waste.

56
Q

Method of moving molecules into or out of the cell by active transport.

A

Endocytosis/Exocytosis

57
Q

Membrane fold in and forms a pocket around the material to be transported.
- requires energy to move particles against their concentration gradient.

A

Endocytosis

58
Q

3 types of Endocytosis

A

Phagocytosis
Pinocytosis
Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis

59
Q

-Means cells eating
-Used by cells to ingest food or other solid materials.

A

Phagocytosis

60
Q

-Means cells drinking
-Used by cells to ingest droplets of water, or fluids.

A

Pinocytosis

61
Q

-Receptors protrude from the membrane surface and detect specific compounds or cells in the environment.
-When a receptor identifies an item for transport, the receptor binds to it and triggers endocytosis.
-Used to take in molecules such as cholesterol and some hormones

A

Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis

62
Q

-Allows materials stored in vesicles and vacuoles to exit the cell.
-The vacuoles or vesicle fuses with the cell membrane and the stored contents are released.
-Opposite of endocytosis
-Requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.

A

Exocytosis

63
Q

Semi-permeable membranes extend beyond their role in…

A

living cells

64
Q

A variety of technological and medical applications also use types of transport across…
