fluid mosaic model
is used to describe the structure of the cell membrane
glycolipid
carbohydrate chains that are attached to the phospholipids
glycoprotien
carbohydrate chains that are attached to the proteins
solute
substance that is being disolved as a solvant
carrier protien
uses ATP to change shape to move a molecule across the cell membrane
osmosis
special type of diffusion where water is the substance that is moving
isotonic
refers to a solution that is the same concentration when compared to another solution
hydrophobic
“water fearing” molecules which do not mix well with charged or or polar molecules
hydrophilic
“water loving” that do mix well with charged or polar molecules.
pinocytosis
cell drinking- form of endocytosis where smaller substances are brought into the cell by forming vesicles on the cell membrane
thyroid gland
requires the active transport of iodine out of the blood and into its cells
selectively permeable
if it lets some things pass through it but does not allow other things
exocytosis
movement of a vacuole out of the cell
solution
homogeneous mixture where one substance is disolved into another
phaygocytosis
type of endocytosis where larger substances are brought into the cell by forming vacuoles at the membrane
receptor mediated endocytosis
occurs when a substance binds to a receptor protein and causes another substance to be taken into the cell via vesicle formation
