Module 2 Cell Flashcards
Basic structural and functional units of organism
Cell
Cell structure and components
- Cell membrane
- Organelles
Outermost layer enclosing the cytoplasm
Plasma membrane
The movements through the cell
Diffusion, osmosis, carrier mediated, endocytosis and exocytosis
Movement of solute from higher to lower concentration
Diffusion
4 elements of diffusion
Movement of solute
Higher to lower concentration or concentration difference
Time
Semi permeable membrane
Movement of solvents from higher to lower concentration
Osmosis
The pulling force
Osmotic pressure
The pushing force
Hydrostatic pressure
Cells inflate and burst
Hypotonic
Cells shrink
Hypertonic
Cell remains the same
Isotonic
Use of specific protein carrier molecules
Carrier mediated transport mechanism
3 types of carrier mediated transport mechanisms
Facilitated diffusion
Active transport
Secondary active transport
Movement of substance from higher to lower concentration through a SPECIFIC Carrie mediated process
Facilitated diffusion
