Chapter 3- Part 1 Flashcards
Largest organelle
Nucleus
Moves non polar (uncharged) substances passively across lipid portion of membrane
Simple diffusion
Consist of cytiosial (ICF) fluid portion,organelles ; small organs
Cytoplasm
Contains lower solute concentrations ECF then cytosol - water moves into cell at faster rate causing cell to burst (lyse)
Hypotonic solution
2 lipid types phospholipids ; most common & cholesterol strengthens membrane
Lipid type
Moves substance from higher to lower concentrations down or with concentration gradient until equilibrium is reached
Passive process
Requires energy- moves substances from lower to higher concentrations uphill or against their concentration gradient
Active process
Permits some substances to pass through membrane
Selectively permeable
Consists of proteins arranged in lipid bilayer (double layer)
Plasma membrane structure
Isotonic,hypotonic,hypertonic
Solution types
Functions as channels,transporters,carriers and enzymes
Proteins
Contains higher solute concentration in ECF then cytosol -water moves out of a cell at faster rating causing cell to crenate (shrink)
Hypertonic solution
Cell eating
Phagocytosis
Cell drinking
Pinocytosis
(Secretoin) transport materials out of cell
Exocytosis
