Cell Membrane and Transport Flashcards

1
Q

Cell Theory

A

idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells

Q

Cell Membrane Function

A

Separates the components of a cell and its environment; regulates flow of materials into and out of cell; maintains homeostasis.

16
Q

What will happen if the cell does not maintain Homeostasis?

A

the cell dies

17
Q

passive transport

A

A process that does not require energy to move molecules from high to low concentration

18
Q

diffusion

A

The movement of small particles across a selectively permeable membrane like the cell membrane until equilibrium is reached.

19
Q

Where does Diffusion move from?

A

an area from high concentration to an area of low concentration.

20
Q

Osmosis

A

Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane

21
Q

Where does Osmosis move from?

A

diffuses across a membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration.

22
Q

Extracellular Space

A

outside/exterior of cell

23
Q

Intracellular Space

A

Inside/Interior of cell

24
Q

Facilitated Diffusion

A

movement of larger molecules like glucose through the cell membrane.

25
Q

How does facilitated diffusion work?

A

Proteins in the membrane form channels for large molecules to pass through.

26
Q

Hypertonic Solutions

A

Water diffuses out of the cell

27
Q

Hypertonic Solutions have…

A

high concentrations of solute - outside than inside

28
Q

Hypotonic Solutions

A

Water diffuses out of the cell. Causing the cell to shrivel and sink

29
Q

Hypotonic Solutions have

A

high concentrations of solute - inside than outside

30
Q

Isotonic Solutions

A

water diffuses in and out of cell at same, equal rate.

31
Q

Isotonic Solutions have..

A

equal concentrations of solute

32
Q

Active Transport

A

the movement of molecules from low to high concentration energy is required

33
Q

Endocytosis & Exocytosis

A

the mechanism by which very large molecules (such as foods and wastes) get into and out of the cell. this requires energy so it’s active transport.

34
Q

cyto-

A

cell

36
Q

endo-

A

into

37
Q

exo-

A

out

38
Q

Endocytosis

A

into cell process

39
Q

Exocytosis

A

output cell process
