E - H Flashcards
Substances that form in aqueous solution. Conducts electricity
Electrolyte
Negatively charged particle.
Electron
Creates atom volume but has no mass
Electron
Bulk transport into cell by creating vesicles. Uses energy
Endocytosis
Chemical reaction that absorbs energy/heat
Endothermic
Bulk transport out of cell. Lipid/protein secretion. Uses energy
Exocytosis
Chemical reaction that releases energy/heat
Exothermic
Movement of particles across membrane using carrier proteins
Facilitated diffusion
The time taken for radioisotopes to decay by half of original amount
Half life
An organic molecule with only H and C
Hydrocarbon
The chemical breakdown of a molecule/compound by water
Hydrolysis
Attract water. Soluble in water (polar/ionic)
Hydrophilic
Repels water. NOT water soluble (non-polar/ lipids)
Hydrophobic
A solution that is in HIGHER concentration than intracellular
Hypertonic
A solution that is in LOWER concentration than intracellular
Hypotonic
