unit 4 Flashcards
what is a plasma membrane called?
selectively permeable
what does a plasma membrane control?
what enters and exits the cell
the plasma membrane is made up of
phospholipids
phosphate group
glycerol backbone
two fatty acids
phospholipid monomers
what prevents fatty acids from sticking together
cholesterol
what helps recognize cells
marker proteins
true or false: enzymes speed up chemical reactions on membrane
enzymes
these proteins have channels on the middle that allow large molecules to pass through the membrane
transport Chanel proteins
true or false: transport proteins allow small molecules to pass through
false
what transport does not use energy to transport molecules across the cell membrane
passive transport
during passive transport how do the molecules move
concentration gradient
true or false:passive transport moves from high low
true
diffusion moves what type of molecules across the membrane
small molecules
how does diffusion move
high to low
diffusion of water
osmosis
water enters the cell
hypotonic
true or false: hypotonic has a higher concentration of solute on the inside of the cell
true
water leaves the cell and causes the cell to get (bigger or smaller)
smaller
hypotonic
water entering the cell
hypotonic has what type of environment
environment has a lower concentration of solute than inside the cell
true or false: water leaves the cell during hypotonic
false
why do plant cells become turgid
during hypotonic
true or false: animal cells become lysis due to hypotonic
true
what solution gives an equal environment to a cell
isotonic
does water enter the cell in an isotonic solution
yes enters and exits the cell
true or false: an isotonic causes the cell to get bigger
false the cell will stay the same size
what type of molecules does facilitated diffusion move
large molecules
true or false: facilitated diffusion moves molecules through phospholipids
false: through channel proteins
