Cell Transport & Other Questions Flashcards
The type of transport when small particles move from a high concentration to a low concentration.
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
The part of a cell that controls what comes in and out of the cell. It is said to be selectively permeable.
CELL MEMBRANE
The type of transport that does not involve energy.
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
When molecules on the inside and outside of the cell are equal, a state of ___________________ has been reached
EQUILIBRIUM
The type of passive transport when water is moving from a high concentration to a low concentration through the cell membrane
OSMOSIS
The type of passive transport when any small particles other than water move from a high concentration to a low concentration through the cell membrane
DIFFUSION
Why does a plant cell have a cell wall and an animal cell does not?
Because without it the plant cell would not have support or protection. Animals have skin and an immune system for for protection and bones for support.
Why do plant cells have chloroplast and animal cells do not?
A plant cell uses chloroplast to internally make their own food through photosynthesis. Animals get their food from an outside source, so they do not need chloroplasts.
Why does a plant cell have one large vacuole and an animal cell has many small vacuoles?
A plant cell needs to be able to store a large amount of water in case of drought, so the have one large vacuole. A plant cannot move to find water when “thirsty”. Plants have to rely on mother nature and humans to water them. Animals can go find food and water on their own.
The type of transport when small particles move from a low concentration to a high concentration.
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
The type of transport that involves energy.
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
The type of transport goes against the normal flow of materials.
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
The type of transport that goes with the normal flow of materials.
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
The type of active transport when large particles need to enter/move into a cell.
ENDOCYTOSIS
(“endo” ==> “in the” cell)
The type of active transport when large particles need to leave/move out of a cell.
EXOCYTOSIS
(“exo” ==> “exiting” the cell)
