26
This is the smallest unit of life.
Cells
27
A general composite cell has plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ____
Nucleus
28
The acronym ECF stands for what?
Extracellular Fluid
29
This is the part of a cell that is a phospholipid bilayer containing protein-carrying molecules plugged in as a fluid mosaic.
Plasma Membrane
30
This aids in allowing movement of molecules between cells as well as solute movement.
Cell Junctions
31
This is the part of a phospholipid that prevents water-soluble substances from entering.
Hydrophobic Tail
32
One of its functions is to provide a hydrophilic pathway across the membrane for selective solute transport.
Membrane Protein
33
This is the impermeable kind of cell junction which means that it prevents molecules from passing between cells.
Tight Junctions
34
A ____ ____ ____ does not need energy to move because they are usually flowing through nature.
Passive Membrane Transport
35
____ is a non-penetrating solution that has a higher concentration outside the cell compared to the inside.
Hypertonic
36
In order to move toward the concentration gradient and move solutes uphill, this type of transport must have energy.
Active Transport
37
This is the energy source of a primary active transport.
ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate
38
Membrane potential, which is the electrical potential energy from the separation of oppositely charged particles, may also be termed as what?
Voltage
39
The acronym CAMs stands for what?

40
This is a type of chemical signaling wherein a cell targets itself.
Autocrine
41
This is the elaborate network of rods running through the cytosol that aids in terms of cell structure.
Cytoskeleton
42
This is the group of cells that have similar structure and exhibit a common function.
