Q

True or false?
Unsaturated fats aid the membrane in moving molecules across it because unsaturated fats are fluid, so it’s easier for materials to move through it

Q

Functions of the Cell Membrane (5)

A
  • regulate what enters and exits the cell
  • aids in protection and support of the cell
  • communicates with other cells
  • bring in materials
  • remove waste
23
Q

Cells exist in what type of environment?

24
Q

Solute is

A

the dissolved material

ex. powder like koolaid

25
Solvent is
the dissolving material | ex. water
26
The more SOLUTE...
the higher the concentration
27
Osmosis is
- water's movement | - diffusion of water
28
Osmotic Pressure is
water moving to balance the concentration (in osmosis)
29
Exocitosis
exiting the cell
30
Endocytosis
entering the cell
31
Turgid
hypotonic | ex: firm plants
32
Flaccid
isotonic | ex: limp plants
33
Plasmolyzed
hypertonic | ex: dead plants
34
Function of Contractile Vacuoles
help pump out access water | ex: paramecium
35
Facilitated Diffusion
diffusion with the use of channel proteins | -does not require energy (passive)
36
Facilitated Diffusion only happens when there is a
concentration gradient
37
Facilitated Diffusion moves molecules from
high to low concentration
38
Active transport is
diffusion against the concentration gradient | -requires energy
39
A Protein Pump is
Active Transport
40
Active Transport moves molecules from
low to high concentration
41
A Sodium Potassium is
Active Transport
42
Diffusion and Facilitated Diffusion are
Passive Transport
43
The two mechanisms of Bulk Transport are...
- Exocytosis | - Endocytosis
44
Bulk Transport requires
ATP
45
Bulk Transport transports
large molecules with large proteins
46
Prokaryote
cells without a membrane
47
Eukayote
cells with a nucleus and organalles
48
Hypertonic
having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid higher percentage of solute than solvent ex. more powder than water
49
Function of glycolipids
-provide energy | made up of fat and sugar
50
Function of hydrophilic phospholipid heads
to form the outer layer of the membrane's bilayer
51
Function of hydrophobic phospholipid tails
to form the inner layer of the membrane's bilayer
52
Function of integral proteins
transport channels, linkers | stays attached to the membrane (runs through it)
53
Hypotonic
having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid higher percentage of solvent than solute ex: more water than powder
54
Isotonic
having equal osmotic pressure (equal balance of solute and solvent)
