Chapter 5 Flashcards
moves waste out of a cell
exocytosis
double layers of cell membrane
phospholipids
usually controlled by electical gradients
gated ion channel
shields molecule from lipid bilayer
carrier protein
particle energy causing movement
kinectic energy
carrier proteins transporting molecules down a concentration gradient
facilitated diffusion
may cause cytolysis
hypotonic solutions
causes cells to remian in equilibrium
isotonic solution
may cause plsmolysis
hypertonic solution
In the cell membrane, ion channels serve as what?
passageways
What is the movement of water through a cell membrane called?
osmosis
What are some characteristics of active transport
it moves substances up a concentration gradient; it requires energy from the cell; it relies on carrier proteins that often function as pumps
What is facilitated diffusion often used to transport?
molecules that are not soluble in lipids
When particle move out of a cell through facilitated diffusion, the cell ___.
does not use energy
Molecules that are too large to be moved into a cell through the cell membrane can be transported across by what?
endocytosis
If the concentration of a sugar solution is lower outside the cell than inside the cell, which of the following will happen by osmosis?
water will move into the cell
Give an example of osmosis?
the movement of water molecules from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration
the excretion of materials to the outside of a cell by discharging them from vesicles
exocytosis
If the molecular concentration of a substance is the same throughout a space, the substance ___.
is in equilibrium
All forms of active transport are dependent on what?
ATP from the cell
Sodium-potassium pumps do what?
Move NA ions out of the cell and K ions into the cell
A structure that can move excess water out of a unicellular organism
contractile vacuole
relatively low solute concentration
hypotonic
membrane-bound organelle
vesicle
uptake of large particles
phagocytosis
shrinking of red blood cells
crenation
uptake of solutes or fluids
pinocytosis
bursting of red blood cells
hemolysis
concentration of difference across a space
concentration gradient
relatively high solute concentration
hypertonic
