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
