Unit 2: Transport Flashcards
Movement of water from high to low concentrations.
Osmosis
Three types of transport
Passive Transport
Active Transport
Movement of Macromolecules
Type of solution that is more dilute than the other solution.
hypotonic solution
Type of solution that has more solute and less solvent
hypertonic
Act as name tags for the cell
Glycolipids
and
Glycoproteins
Loss of osmotic pressure in a plant cell
plasmolysis
Part of the phospholipid that faces the cytoplasm or the environment
Hydrophillic phospholipid head
carbohydrates that attach to hydrophillic heads in the membrane
glycolipids
Three types of passive transport
- Diffusion
- Osmosis
- Facilitated Diffusion
Two components of a solution
Solvent (water)
Solute (dissolved particles)
Loss of osmotic pressure in an animal cell
crenation
Exploding of an animal cell
Lysing
Type of solution that is more concentrated than the other solution.
hypertonic solution
Alternate names for cell membrane
Selectively permeable membrane
Lipid bilayer
Semipermeable membrane
Fluid Mosaic Model
Type of transport that takes in large molecules into the cell…so large they can’t fit through the phospholipids or the integral proteins.
endocytosis
