Cell in its environment Flashcards
selectively permeable membrane
membrane that only allows certain materials cross it though pores, separates the cell from surrounding area
diffusion
movement of molecules from an area in which they are highly concentrated to an area in which they are less concentrated
osmosis
diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
if water is moving from high to low then it is going from a..
dilute solution to a concentrated solution
what is passive transport
movement of materials without use of energy like diffusion or osmosis
homeostasis
a stable internal environment
- oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange
- bring in nutrients
- get rid of wastes
active transport
the movement of molecules though a membrane using energy, usually from low to high or because particles are too big
name two types of active transport
exocytosis-moving out
endocytosis-moving in
explain exocytosis
- ) materials transported to inside side of cell in vesicle
- ) membrane and vesicle join together
- ) create opening for particles to leave
explain endocytosis
- ) membrane extends around particle that is taken in
- ) membrane creates a vesicle around particle
- ) vesicle moves freely
transport proteins
in the cell membrane, require energy to work, pump particles in or out of the cell from low to high concentrations
photosynthesis
process of using sun’s energy to create glucose and oxygen,
photosynthesis takes place in
chloroplasts
equation for photosynthesis
words
sun+carbon dioxide+water=glucose+oxygen
equation for photosynthesis
actual
sun+6COtwo+6Htwo0=CsixHtwelve0six+6Otwo
