Cell Transport

Question 0

Plasmolysis

Answer 0

contraction of the protoplasm in a living cell when water is removed by exosmosis. When it shrivels

Question 1

Cytolysis

Answer 1

the dissolution or degeneration of cells. When it bursts.

Question 2

Osmosis

Answer 2

The diffusion of water across a cell membrane. ONLY WATER.

Question 3

Turgor Pressure

Answer 3

Also called hydrostatic pressure the pressure exerted on a plant cell wall by water passing into the cell by osmosis

Question 4

Pinocytosis

Answer 4

Very small particles

Question 5

Endocytosis

Answer 5

The process of things going into the cell.

Question 6

Exocytosis

Answer 6

The process of materials leaving the cell.

Question 7

Passive Transport

Answer 7

transport of a substance across a cell membrane by diffusion; expenditure of energy is not required

Question 8

Diffusion

Answer 8

Example: when air fresheners defuse into the room.

Question 9

Concentration Gradient

Answer 9

the gradual difference in concentration of a dissolved substance in a solution between a region of high density and one of lower density.

Question 10

Phagocytosis

Answer 10

Very large particles.

Question 11

Sodium potassium pump

Answer 11

The process of materials entering and leaving the cell.

Question 12

Carrier Protein

Answer 12

A protein that transports substances across a cell membrane.

Question 13

Facilitated diffusion

Answer 13

Transport of substances through a cell membrane along a concentrations gradient with aid of carrier proteins.

Question 14

Ion channel

Answer 14

A complex of protein molecules in a cell membrane that form a pore through which ions can pass.

Question 15

Hypertonic

Answer 15

When the concentration of solute molecules outside the cell is higher than the concentration in the cytoskeleton, the solution outside is hypertonic

Question 16

Hypotonic

Answer 16

A solution shoes solute concentration is lower than the solute concentration inside a cell

Question 17

Equilibrium

Answer 17

A state that exists when the concentration of a substances is the same throughout a space

Question 18

Isotonic

Answer 18

A solution shoes solute concentration is equal to the solute concentration inside a cell

Question 19

Contractile Vacuole

Answer 19

A large, fluid-filled organelle that stores water, enzymes, metabolic wastes, and other material.

Question 20

Phagocyte

Answer 20

A cell that ingests and destroys(digests) forge in matter or microorganisms.

Question 21

Active transport

Answer 21

The movement of chemical substances, usually across the cell membrane, against a concentration gradient; requires cells to use energy.

Question 22

Vesicle

Answer 22

A small cavity or sac that contains materials in a eukaryotic cell; forms when parts of the cell membrane surrounds the material to be taken into the cell or transported within the cell.
