cell membrane & transport 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 vessicles at the cell membrane
pinocytosis
_______ transport via proteins (help) requires no energy input
fascilitated
the ________ gland requires the active transport of iodine out of the blood and into its 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 out of the cell
exocytosis
a homogeneous mixture where one substance is dissolved into 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 a cell via vessicle formation
mediated
if a plant cell is laced in a hypertonic solution _______ may occur (you should be able to draw this!!)
plasmolysis
if an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution _________ may occur
crenation
when an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, _______ may occur
lysis
the sodium / potassium pump is found in large numbers in these kind of cells
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 its 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
when solutions on either side of a membrane are the same concentration, there is _______ movement of water or solute across the membrane
no
turgor pressure is important to plant cells because as their cells start to lose turgor pressure the plant will start to ______
wilt
the substance that is being dissolved in a solution
solute
