Q

3 functions of the cell membrane

A
  1. barrier-keeps wastes and toxins out
  2. organization-membranes surround and package materials in vesticles
  3. selective filter-semipermeable (regulates by particle size and by selective transport by membrane proteins)

16
Q

passive transport/diffusion

A

-molecules move randomly
-high to low concentration

17
Q

facilitated diffusion

A

carrier proteins bind to larger molecules that change their shape so molecules can diffuse

18
Q

channel proteins

A

provide water filled pores for charged ions to pass through

19
Q

concentration gradient

A

difference in concentration between high and low concentration areas

20
Q

equilibrium

A

particles never stop moving, always move across concentration gradient
(equal on both sides)

21
Q

Brownian Motion

A

S-space:between particles
P-particles:all materials made up of particles
A-attraction:all particles attracted to one another
M-movement:particles always moving

22
Q

active transport

A

low to high concentration-ATP required
carrier proteins usually needed

23
Q

endocytosis

24
Q

2 types of endocytosis

A

1.phagocytosis-solids
2.pinocytosis-liquids

25
large surface area
quicker/more efficient
26
multicellular
specialization of cells rather than every cell doing everything
27
as cell size increases
the SA:VOL ratio decreases
28
as cells get bigger
the must become multicellular
