Q

Solutions have the same solute and water concentrations as cells and cause no visible changes in the cell

A

Isotonic solutions

26
Q

Solutions that contains more solute than the the cells do and the

cells will begin to shrink

A

Hypertonic solutions

27
Q

Solutions that contains fewer solutes (more water) then the cells do

Cells will plump

A

Hypotonic solutions

28
Q

It is a type of diffusion that transports lipids-insoluble and large substances

A

Facilitated diffusion

29
Q

_______ is transported via facilitated diffusion

A

Glucose

30
Q

In facilitated diffusion ______ is used to act as carriers

A

Protein membrane channels / protein molecules

31
Q

A type of passive process where water and salutes are forced through a membrane by fluid or hydrostatic pressure

A

Filtration

32
Q

In filtration pressure gradient must exist that pushes salute containing fluid from a _________ area to ____________ area

A

High-pressure area to a lower pressure area

33
Q

Filtration is critical for the ______ to work properly

A

Kidneys

34
Q

ATP is used to move substances across a membrane

A

Active processes

35
Q

Active processes are used when:

A

1) substances are too large to travel through membrane channels
2) membrane may lack special proteins carriers
3) substances may not be lipid-soluble
4) substances may have to move against a concentration gradient

36
Q

Two types of transport, in active processes

A

1) Active transport
2) Vesicular transport

37
Q
  • ATP energizes solute pumps
  • in most cases substances are moved against concentrations (or electrical) gradient
A

Active transport

38
Q

In active transport, amino acids, some sugars and ions are transported by protein carriers known as______

A

Solute pumps

39
Q

Example of active transport

A

Sodium – potassium pump

40
Q

Sodium-potassium pump is necessary for ____________

A

Nerve impulses

41
Q

Is transported out of the cell

A

Sodium

42
Q

Is transported into the cell

A

Potassium

43
Q

In this transport, substances are move across the membrane “in bulk” without actually crossing the plasma membrane

A

Vesicular transport

44
Q

Two types of vesicular transport

A

1) exocytosis
2) endocytosis

45
Q

Two types of endocytosis

A

1) phagocytosis
2) pinocytosis

46
Q

Mechanism cells used to actively secrete, hormones, mucus, and other products

A

Exocytosis

47
Q

Material is carried in a membranous sac called ____________ that migrates and combines with plasma membrane

A

Exocytosis

48
Q

The contents of vesicles are emptied to the outside

A

Exocytosis

49
Q

Exocytosis docking process

A

1) docking proteins in the vesicles recognize plasma membrane proteins and bind with them

2) membranes corkscrew, and fuse together

50
Q

Extra cellular substances are enclosed in a membrane vesicles

A

Endocytosis

51
Q

Vesicles detach from the plasma membrane and moves into the cell

And once in the cell , the vesicle typically fuses with a ____________

A

1) Endocytosis

2) Lysosome

52
Q

Endocytosis contains are digested by ____________

A

Lysosomal enzymes
