| 8364300572 | Osmosis | Diffusion of water across a cell permeable membrane Water movement with the concentration gradient | 0 | |
| 8364300573 | Diffusion | Movement of solute from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Solute movement is down or with the concentration gradient. | 1 | |
| 8364300574 | Concentration Gradient | A difference in concentration between two areas. In biology we are concerned with concentrations inside and outside the cell | 2 | |
| 8364300575 | Facilitated diffusion | Helping things across the membrane from an area of High Concentration to Low Concentration, with the use of a carrier protein, without energy | 3 | |
| 8364300576 | Carrier Proteins | A protein that transports substances across the cell membrane. | 4 | |
| 8364300577 | Aquiporin | water pore protein.- allows water molecules to move across the membrane | 5 | |
| 8364300578 | Active transport | Energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell membrane against a concentration gradient Ion pumps, co- transport proteins | 6 | |
| 8364300579 | Bulk transport | The process by which large particles and macromolecules are transported through plasma membranes. exocytosis and endocytosis | 7 | |
| 8364300580 | Hydrophobic | "water-fearing" The lipid tail of the phospholipid | 8 | |
| 8364300581 | Hydrophylic | attracted to water The phospholipid head of the water molecule | 9 | |
| 8364300582 | Fluid mosaic model | molecules are free to move sideways within a lipid bilayer | 10 | |
| 8364300583 | Glycoproteins | Carbohydrate chains attached to a membrane peripheral protein on the outer surface. Acts as a recognition site for hormones and neurotransmitters. Also allows cells to attach to one another to form tissues and recognize other cells. | 11 | |
| 8364300584 | Glycolipids | Lipid chains attached to a membrane peripheral protein on the outer surface. involved in cell attachment and the recognition of other cells | 12 | |
| 8364300585 | Hypotonic | A lower SOLUTE concentration outside the cell. A cell placed in this solution will cause the cell to gain water by osmosis. swells up! What is this condition called? | 13 | |
| 8364300586 | Plasmolysis | Collapse of a walled cell's cytoplasm due to a lack of water | 14 | |
| 8364300587 | Crenation | shrinking of cells in a hypertonic solution due to Higher Solute / Less Water | 15 | |
| 8364300588 | Turgid | A cell that is full of water as a result of entry of water due to osmosis such that pressure of the cell wall prevents more water entering. What is the cell environment? Hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic | 16 | |
| 8364300589 | Hypertonic | Having a higher concentration of solute outside the cell. What happens to the cell? | 17 | |
| 8364300590 | Isotonic | (used of solutions) having the same or equal osmotic pressure | 18 | |
| 8364300591 | Solute | A substance that is dissolved in a solution. | 19 | |
| 8364300592 | Solvent | A liquid substance capable of dissolving other substances In biology we often consider water as the solvent | 20 | |
| 8364300593 | Solution | A liquid that is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. | 21 | |
| 8364300594 | Concentration | A measurement of how much solute exists within a certain volume of solvent | 22 | |
| 8364300595 | Electrochemical gradient | The concentration gradient of ions The cytoplasmic side of the cell tends to carry a negative charge | 23 | |
| 8364300596 | Homeostasis | A tendency to maintain a balanced condition inside and outside the cell This term can be applied to almost any level of organization. | 24 | |
| 8364300597 | Receptor mediated transport | A form of endocytosis that uses receptor proteins to recognize signaling molecules called ligands. Important for controlling cholesterol | 25 | |
| 8364300598 | Endocytosis | Cellular uptake of biological molecules and particulate matter via formation of new vesicles from the plasma membrane. | 26 | |
| 8364300599 | Exocytosis | Mechanism by which substances are moved from the cell interior to the extracellular space as a secretory vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane. Involves either the SER or Golgi apparatus | 27 | |
| 8364300600 | Phagocytosis | "Cell eating" Our white blood cells do this | 28 | |
| 8364300601 | Proton Pump |  | 29 | |
| 8364300602 | Sodium Potassium Pump |  | 30 | |
| 8364300603 | Cotransport |  | 31 | |
| 8364300604 | Endocytosis |  | 32 | |
| 8364300605 | Exocytosis |  | 33 | |
| 8364300606 | Phagocytosis | An amoeba eating a paramecium We also have phagocytic white blood cells and specialized cells in our liver called Kupfer cells that "eat" damaged blood cells |  | 34 |
| 8364300607 | Pinocytosis | Which are specific forms of transport? Which are nonspecific forms of transport? |  | 35 |
