Crossword- Down Flashcards
Active transport
Able to move molecules against concentration gradient
No net movement
When solutions on either side of membrane are same concentration of water or solute
Turgor pressure in plants
Important in plants cells because as cells start to lose turgor pressure it wilts
Solute
The substance that is being dissolved in a solution
Carrier protein
Uses ATP to change shape to move molecules across cell membrane
Osmosis
Special type of diffusion where water is the moving substance
Hydrophobic
“Water fearing” - molecules that don’t mix well with charges or polar molecules
Isotonic
Refers to solution with same concentration when compared to another solution
Peripheral protein
Only passes part way through lipid bilayer of cell membrane
Active
Type of protein transport that requires ATP as an energy source
Gycolipid
A carbohydrate chain attached to lipid molecule in cell membrane
Hydrophilic
“Water loving” - molecules which mix well with charged or polar molecules
Concentration gradient
Rate of diffusion can be increased by increasing concentration gradient
Osmotic pressure
Occurs when there is a concentration gradient across a membrane and only water is able to pass through the membrane
Cell recognition protein
Has glycoproteins attached which are unique to each organisms and aid in immune system recognition
