CELLULAR TRANSPORT Flashcards
the amount of solute in a solution.
Concentration
the dissolved substance in a solution
Solute
a mixture in which two or more substances are mixed evenly.
Solution
the gradual difference in the concentration of solutes in a solution between two regions.
Concentration gradient
ALL cells have a ______ made of proteins and lipids
cell membrane
Plant cells have a cell wall made of _____
cellulose
is fiber in our diet
cellulose is fiber in our diet
Bacteria and fungi also have ____
cell walls
Bacteria and fungi also have cell walls, but they do not contain______
Cellulose
Cell membranes and cell walls are _____allowing water, carbon dioxide, oxygen and nutrients to pass through easily
porous
Cell Membrane aka
“The Phospholipid Bilayer”
ALL cells have a _____ made of Phosphate, proteins, and lipids
cell membrane
All Cells have a cell (______)
plasma membrane
Prokaryotes have
have a cell wall + cell membrane
Eukaryotes have
Animal Cells ( cell membrane only)
Plant cells (cell membrane + cell wall)
cell doesn’t use energy
Passive Transport
cell does use energy
Active Transport
is the movement of small particles across a selectively permeable membrane like the cell
Diffusion
random movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Diffusion
is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane like the cell membrane
Osmosis
is the movement of larger molecules like glucose through the cell membrane – larger molecules must be “helped”
Facilitated Diffusion
Proteins that form channels (pores) are called
protein channels
diffusion of specific particles through transport proteins found in the membrane
Facilitated diffusion
contain a high concentration of solute relative to another solution (e.g. the cell’s cytoplasm).
