microscope & cell membrane Flashcards
active transport
molecules moving into cell
which form of transport requires ATP energy
active transport
passive transport
molecules moving out of cell
cell membranes are composed of
protein channels, lipids, and protein receptors
purpose of the membrane
protect inside of cell
chemicals are able to bind to cell receptors because..
of their specific shape
osmosis
solution with a high concentration diffuses into another solution with a low concentration to balance the molecules
hypotonic
low concentration, water moves into cell
hypertonic
higher concentration, water moving out of cell
when too much water moves into a cell
it can burst
when not enough water is in the cell
it will shrink
selectively permeable
cell membrane selects what is allowed into cell
diffusion
high concentration of liquid moving to a lower concentration because of diluted water added to cell
atp
energy molecules produced in mitochondria
allowed into cell membrane
h20, glucose, 02 and c02
