15
Q

A solution where the concentration of the solute is equal inside and outside the cell

A

Isotonic solution

16
Q

A solution where the concentration of the solute is higher on the outside than on the inside

A

Hypertonic solution

17
Q

A solution where the concentration of the solute is greater on the inside than on the outside. It is normal in plant cells.

18
Q

What effect does a hypertonic solution have on a cell?

A

It becomes shriveled

Turgid in plants

19
Q

What effect does a hypotonic solution have on a cell

A

It is lysed

Plasmolyzed in a plant cell

20
Q

Transport that does not require energy

A

Passive transport

21
Q

Transport that does require energy

A

Active transport

22
Q

Diffusion with the help of a protein (active)

A

Facilitated diffusion

23
Q

Proteins with channels for molecule transport

A

Channel proteins

24
Proteins that open on one side a and then another for protein movement
Carrier proteins

26
The difference in charges inside and outside the cell
Membrane potential
27
Transport for large quantities. (Requires energy but is not active)
Bulk transport
28
Name the three types of endocytosis
Phagocytosis Pinocytosis Receptor-mediated endocytosis
29
Bulk transport going out of the cell. Surrounded by a vesicle (phospholipid bilayer) that fuses with the membrane
Exocytosis
30
Bulk transport of molecules into the cell. Molecules have a vesicle pinch off from membrane to surround them
Endocytosis
31
Type of endocytosis where food is brought into cell
Phagocytosis
32
Type of endocytosis where solutes in fluids are brought into a cell
Pinocytosis
33
Type of endocytosis where ligands fit into receptors to send the cell a message
Receptor-mediated endocytosis
