cellular transport Flashcards
“gatekeeper of the cell”
Cell membrane
explain ph levels
0-6 acidic
8-14- basic
7 neutral
all cells have cell membrane made of ______, _______, and _______. That’s why it’s called Phospholipid Bilayer.
Phosphate, proteins, lipids
A single phospholipid has _______ phosphate heads and _______fatty acid tails
Hydrophilic (water loving)
Hydrophobic (water hating)
a process that doesn’t require energy
passive transport
HIGH to LOW concentration transport
Passive
is the movement of small particles across the cell membrane.
diffussion
requires the help of carrier& channel proteins
facilitated diffusion
is the movement of water through a selectively membrane like the cell membrane
osmosis
high concentration of solute relative to another solution. The water diffuses ____ of the cell, causing it to _____
Hypertonic solution
out, shrivel
low concentration of solute. the water diffuses _____ the cell, causing the cell to _____ and possibly ______.
Hypotonic solution
into, swell, explode
contain the same concentration of solute, the water diffuses _____ of the cell.
Isotonic solution
into&out
transport that uses energy
Active transport
how materials exit the cell
exocytosis
how materials enter the cell
endocytosis
