have the same concentration of non-penetrating solutes as those found in the cell
isotonic solution
26
higher concentration of non-penetrating solutes that seen in the cell, cells immersed in this solution lose water and shrink
hypertonic solution

term to call a plant cell immersed in a isotonic solution
flaccid
30
term to call a plant cell immersed in a hypertonic solution
shriveled
31
describes an object's shape, especially a leaf or shell, as being round-toothed or having a scalloped edge after the exposure of a cell to a hypertonic solution1
crenation
32
happens when physical pressure pushes fluid through a selectively permeable membrane
filtration
33
drives filtration
pressure
34
example of biological filter
kidneys
35
the cell membrane permits only those substances which are soluble and could easily pass through its pores.
filtration
36
examples of active transport
primary AT secondary AT bulk transport
37
types of bulk transport
exocytosis endocytosis
38
type of endocytosis

39
like facilitated diffusion, requires carrier proteins that combine specifically and reversibly with the transported substances
active transport
40
driving force of facilitated diffusion
kinetic energy
41
move solutes most importantly ions "uphill" against a concentration gradient
active transporters/ solute pumps
42
what type of cells does not have sodium-potassium pumps
plant cells
43
what are the pumps in plants are releasing
Hydrogen Calcium
44
what helps pumps in plants to release hydrogen and calcium
ATP
45
what happens to the ATP when the Na binds to the protein
ATP breaks down into ADP and a high-energy phosphate group
46
what part of the ATP breakdown products powers the pump protein to change its shape
phosphate group

what happens to the Na when the pump protein is powered
expelled into the ECF
48
kind of pump that is seen into the vacuole's membrane
hydrogen pump
49
release the proton outwards the cell
hydrogen pump
50
what happens when the protein changes in shape after the Na is expelled into the ICF
favors the binding of K in the ECF
51
difference between primary and secondary transport

59
will move inside the cell due to the concentration gradient
high concentration
60
what happens to the hydrogen ion in secondary active transport
bind to the protein to be released
61
when a vesicle fuses with the membrane at the cell surface, its contents are deposited outside the cell and the vesicle membrane parts become part of the cell surface
vesicle transport
62
numerous organelles produce these that move through the cell, either remaining discrete or fuse with other organelles or vesicles
vesicles
63
membrane _______ prevents two compartments from fusing
dissimilarity
64

to eat
67
meaning of pino
to drink

process in which a cell internalizes non-particulate materials such as proteins by engulfing them in an energy-dependent manner
endocytosis
69
extends from the cell to surround the particle to be taken into the cell by phagocytosis
pseudopods
70
formed after the pseudopods fuse with the particles
phagosome
71
waits for the liquid to enter
pinocytosis
72
membrane forms inward to form this
pinocytic vesicle
73
uptake of substances by the cell is targeted to a single type of substance that binds at the receptor on the external cell membrane
