Q

What happens when the cell membrane loses its selectivity?

A

The cell cannot sustain itself and would be destroyed. The cell must have a way of obtaining these materials of the ECM.

A

Simple Diffusion

21
Q

It happens to the small and non-polar particles.

A

Simple Diffusion

22
Q

Movement of particles from high to low concentration without using a protein.

A

Simple Diffusion

23
Q

Allows non-polar molecules such as O2 & H2O to pass through membrane.

A

Simple Diffusion

24
Q

This passes through the transport protein.

A

Facilitated Diffusion

25
Happens to large or polar particles.
Facilitated Diffusion
26
It does not require energy but needs a membrane transport channel or carrier protein to transport ions such as Na & K.
Facilitated Diffusion
27
Polar molecules and large ions dissolve in water and are passively and specifically transport across the membrane.
Facilitated Diffusion
28
The net movement or a substance traveling down its concentration agent.
Diffusion
29
Movement from high concentration to low concentration
Diffusion
30
Is the difference in concentration across membrane.
Diffusion
31
It occurs when a solute is more concentrated on one area over the other.
Diffusion
32
Special type of diffusion specifically associated with the movement of water molecules
Osmosis
33
Water crosses the membrane until the solute concentration are equal on both sides.
Osmosis
34
Solution with a higher concentration
Hypertonic
35
Solution with a lower concentration
Hypotonic
36
Solution of equal concentration
Isotonic
37
Movement against the concentration gradient using energy (ATP/Adenine Triphosphate)
Active Transport
38
Involves cellular respiration (ATP)
Active Transport
39
It requires energy released for the molecules to pass through the cell membrane.
Active Transport
40
What are the molecules transported in active transport?
Ions, Complex Sugar, & Proteins
41
Uses energy from the ATP to power specialized transmembrane proteins that pump molecules across the membrane against a concentration agent.
Primary Active
42
Uses electrochemical energy created by a primary active transport to drive the movement of other molecules across the membrane.
Secondary Active
43
Protein found in the cell membrane of all animals
Sodium Phosphate Pump
44
Responsible for maintaining the concentration gradient of sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane
Sodium Phosphate Pump
45
Pump or moves____ potassium ions into the cell where potassium level are high and pumps ____ sodium ion out of the cell and into the extracellular fluid
two, three
46
Process of substance going inside the cell using vesicles
Endocytosis
47
Goes outside the cell. Reverse process where a membrane bound vesicle fluid with bulky materials moves to the plasma membrane & fuses with.
Exocytosis
48
A process where the vesicles (Golgi Apparatus) contents are released out of the cell.
Exocytosis
