Phospholipid Bilayer Flashcards

1
Q

Fluid mosaic model

A

Consistent pattern; flexible. The head of the phospholipid is hydrophilic, while the tail is hydrophobic. Also the head is polar while the tail is nonpolar

Q

Facilitated diffusion, also passive transport

A

Larger molecules pass through the cell membrane with the help of a protein

Isotonic solution

A

Concentration of solutes is equal, water flows back-and-forth equally in cell size does not change

Q

Hypertonic

A

Surrounding solution has a higher solute concentration than that inside of the cell. There’s less pure water outside of salsa water moves outward, cell shrivels

Q

Hypotonic

A

Surrounding solution has lower solute concentration than inside of the cell, there is more pure water outside the cells the water moves inward. Cell swells or bursts

Q

Active transport

A

When molecules move from low to high concentration, requires ATP energy, opposite of diffusion
