Transport

Question 1

Active Transport

Answer 1

the movement of substances from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution against a concentration gradient, requiring energy from respiration

Question 2

Chyle

Answer 2

droplets of emulsified fat

Question 3

Columnar Cells

Answer 3

tall, narrow cells that absorb substances passed into blood and lymphatic vessels, with microvilli on the surface

Question 4

Condensation

Answer 4

process by which clouds are formed

Question 5

Decay

Answer 5

also known as decomposition, the process by which decomposers break down dead plant and animal material, breaking down complex substances into more simple substances

Question 6

Decomposers

Answer 6

microorganisms that break down substances

Question 7

Evaporation

Answer 7

the process by which liquid is heated and becomes a gas

Question 8

Goblet Cells

Answer 8

cells that are rounded at one end and secrete mucous into the intestinal cavity

Question 9

Hypertonic

Answer 9

a solution in osmosis that is more concentrated than the cell

Question 10

Hypotonic

Answer 10

a solution in osmosis that is less concentrated than the cell

Question 11

Isotonic

Answer 11

a solution is osmosis that in equal concentration with the cell

Question 12

Lymphatic Vessels

Answer 12

remove droplets of emulsified fat

Question 13

Mucosa

Answer 13

a mucous membrane

Question 14

Mucous-Membrane Layer

Answer 14

mainly composed of two cell types: columnar cells and goblet cells

Question 15

Osmosis

Answer 15

a type of diffusion where water passes over a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution

Question 16

Plasmolysis

Answer 16

where the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall, causing the cell to die

Question 17

Precipitation

Answer 17

the process by which rain falls

Question 18

Reverse Osmosis

Answer 18

the process by which molecules of a solvent pass through a semi-permeable membrane in the opposite direction to normal

Question 19

Run-Off

Answer 19

the process by which rain runs off the land into the sea

Question 20

Short Diffusion Pathway

Answer 20

the theory that particles will diffuse faster across shorter distances than they do across longer distances

Question 21

Stand of Muscle

Answer 21

allows villi to contract and expand, emptying the contents of the lacteal into larger lymphatic vessels

Question 22

Translocation

Answer 22

movement of dissolved sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant

Question 23

Vasculature

Answer 23

the vascular system of a part of the body

Question 24

Ventilated

Answer 24

movement of air or water into and out of a gas exchange organ
