Cell Membrane Flashcards
The _____ ______ model is used to describe the structure of the cell membrane
Fluid Mosaic
A form of endocytosis where smaller substances are brought into the cell by forming vesicles at the cell membrane
Pinocytosis
Transport via proteins requires no energy input
Facilitated
The _____ gland requires the active of iodine out of the blood and into the cells
Thyroid
A membrane is said to be _____ permeable if it lets some things pass through it, but does not allow other things to pass
Selectively
The movement of a vacuole our of the cell
Exocytosis
A homogenous mixture where one substance is dissolved in another
Solution
A type of endocytosis where larger substances are brought into the cell by forming vacuoles at the cell membrane
Phagocytosis
Receptor-______ endocytosis occurs when a substance binds to a receptor protein and causes another substance to be taken into the cell via vesicles formation
Mediated

Nerve
Carrier proteins are _____, meaning they only carry one type of particle
Specific
Refers to a solution that is less concentrated when compared to another solution
Hypotonic
The substance that does the dissolving in a solution
Solvent
_____ sized molecules tend to produce a higher rate of diffusion
Smaller
______ proteins catalyze chemical reactions on the cell membrane
Enzymatic
_____ proteins cause a change to the cell membrane when a specifically shaped molecule binds it’s binding site
Receptor
The diffusion rate can be increased by raising the ____, which in turn increases the speed at which particles are moving
Temperature
Active transport is able to move molecules ______ the concentration gradient
Against

Wilt
The substance that is being dissolve in a solution
