19
Q

Phospholipid head is…

A

Polar and Hydrophilic

20
Q

Phospholipid tail is…

A

Nonpolar and Hydrophobic

21
Q

When the membrane only lets certain things in and out

A

Semipermeable or selectively permeable

22
Q

Examples of small things that are permeable

A

O2, CO2

23
Q

Examples of large things that are impermeable

A

24
Q

Difference between Passive and Active Transport

A

Passive: Doesn’t need ATP, high -> low
Active: Needs ATP, low -> high

25
Q

When water moves to be equal on both sides of the membrane

A

Dynamic equilibrium

26
Q

Three main types of Passive Transport

A

Diffusion, Facilitated Diffusion, and Osmosis

27
Q

Facilitated diffusion is…

A

When things use protein channels in the membrane to diffuse

28
Q

The movement of WATER in the membrane

A

Osmosis

29
Q

Protein channels specifically for water

A

Aquaporins

30
Q

Difference between Isotonic, Hypertonic, and Hypotonic

A

Isotonic: equal on both sides
Hypertonic: cell shrivels up because water is higher inside, lower outside
Hypotonic: Cell bursts because water is higher outside, lower inside

31
Q

Plants have this to keep them from bursting with water

A

Osmotic Pressure

32
Q

Two main types of Active Transport

A

Protein pumps and Endo/Exocytosis

33
Q

Active transport that uses membrane proteins

A

Protein pumps

34
Q

Endo/Exo cytosis

A

Endo: things come in and get “eaten”
Exo: things exit, excrete waste

35
Q

Endocytosis for solids vs liquids

A

Solids: phagocytosis
Liquids: pinocytosis

36
Q

Desmosomes…

A

STITCH cells together
