Cells Flashcards
A semipermeable membrane, also termed a selectively-permeable membrane, a partially-permeable membrane or a differentially-permeable.
Semipermeable
The lipid bilayer is a thin membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules. These membranes are flat sheets that form a continuous.
Phospholipid bilayer
Adjective
Having a tendency to mix with, dissolve in, or be wetted by water.
Hydrophilic
Cells afraid of water
Hydrophobic
The cell membrane (also called the plasma membrane) is a biological membrane separating the interior of a cell from the outside environm.
Fluid mosaic model
transport of a substance across a cell membrane by diffusion; expenditure of energy is not required.
Passive transport
The movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.
Active transport
Molecular diffusion, often called simply diffusion, is the thermal motion of all (liquid or gas) particles at temperatures above…
Simple diffusion
Noun
The tendency of molecules of a solvent to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrat…
