Q

is needed because the substances are moving from
an area where they have a higher concentration to an area
where they have a lower concentration.

A

No energy

19
Q

When water is mixed with other molecules this mixture is
called a

A

solution

20
Q

Water is the–and the dissolved
substance is the solute.

A

solvent

21
Q

The concentration of solute in the solution can be greater than the concentration of solute in the cells. This cell is in

A

a hypertonic solution

22
Q

greater than normal

A

hyper

23
Q

The net flow or water will be in hypertonic

A

out of the cell.

24
Q

The concentration of solute in the solution can be equal to the concentration of solute in cells. In this situation, the cell is in an

A

isotonic solution

25
Q

equal or the same as normal

A

iso

26
Q

The amount of water entering the cell is the same as the
amount

A

27
Q

The concentration of solute in the solution can be less than the concentration of solute in the cells. This cell is in a

A

hypotonic solution

28

less than normal

30
Q

The energy for active
transport comes from the
energy-carrying molecule
called

A

ATP (adenosine
triphosphate).

31
Q

may also require transport proteins, such as carrier proteins, which are embedded in the plasma membrane.

A

Active transport

32
Q

moves ions across a membrane and creates a difference
in charge across that membrane.

A

primary active transport

33
Q

is a mechanism of active transport that moves sodium
ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cells — in all the trillions of cells in the
body

A

sodium-potassium pump

34
Q

describes the movement of
material using the energy of the electrochemical gradient
established by the primary active transport.

A

Secondary active transport

35
Q

Using the energy of the electrochemical gradient created by
the primary active transport system, other substances such
as — can be brought into the cell
through membrane channels.

A

amino acids and glucose

36
Q

ATP itself is formed through secondary active transport
using a hydrogen ion gradient in the

A

mitochondrion.

37
Q

molecules cross the plasma membrane with a different
sort of help, called vesicle transport.

A

Very large

38
Q

requires
energy, so it is also a form of active transport.

A

Vesicle transport

39
Q

There are two types of vesicle transport:

A

endocytosis and exocytosis.

40
Q

is a type of vesicle transport that moves a substance into
the cell. The plasma membrane completely engulfs the substance, a
vesicle pinches off from the membrane, and the vesicle carries the
substance into the cell.

A

Endocytosis

41
Q

requires
constant adjustments
because conditions are
always changing both
inside and outside the
cell.

A

Homeostasis

42
Q

By moving substances
into and out of cells, they
keep conditions within
normal ranges inside the
cells and the organism

A

Homeostasis

43
Q

Maintaining the proper balance of sodium and
potassium in body fluids by active transport is
necessary for life itself, so it’s no surprise that getting
the right balance of sodium and potassium in the diet is

A

important for good health.

44
Q

Imbalances may increase the risk of

A

high blood
pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and other disorders
