CELL BIOLOGY 2 Flashcards
It is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components
Solution
It is the dissolving medium; typically water in the body
Solvent
It is a components in smaller quantities within a solution
Solutes
It includes nucleoplasm and cytosol.
Intracellular fluid
It is a fluid on the exterior of the cell
Interstitial fluid
What is the term when plasma membrane allows some materials to pass while excluding others?
Selective permeability
What are the two basic methods of transport?
Passive processes
Active processes
It is a method of transport that doesn’t required energy.
Passive processes
It is a method of transport in which the cell must provide metabolic energy (ATP)
Active processes
It is a process by which particles tend to distribute themselves evenly within a solution.
Diffusion
It is a type of diffusion which is an unassisted process
Simple diffusion
It is a simple diffusion of water
Osmosis
It is a diffusion of water through a specific channel protein (aquaporin) or through the lipid bilayer.
Osmosis
It is a diffusion in which substances require a protein carrier for passive transport.
Facilitated diffusion
It is a process in which water and solutes are forced through a membrane by fluid, or hydrostatic pressure?
Filtration
What are the two common forms of active transport?
Active transport (solute pumping) Vesicular transport
Exocytosis and endocytosis are example of what transport?
Vesicular transport
What are the types of endocytosis?
Phagocytosis
Pinocytosis
