| 7978861610 | bulk transport | Movement of substances too large for protein transport into or out of cell. Includes Endocytosis and exocytosis. |  | 1 |
| 7978861611 | carrier protein | Protein that combines with and transports a molecule or ion across the plasma membrane. (protein changes shape in process) |  | 2 |
| 7978861612 | channel protein | Protein that forms a channel that allows a particular molecule or ion to cross the plasma membrane. |  | 3 |
| 7978861613 | cholesterol | A steroid found in animal plasma membranes that helps keep them fluid |  | 4 |
| 7978861614 | lysis | Bursting of a cell. |  | 5 |
| 7978861615 | Selectively permeable | Ability of plasma membranes to regulate the passage of into and out of the cell; allowing some to pass through and preventing the passage of others. | 6 | |
| 7978861616 | diffusion | Movement of molecules or ions from a region of higher to lower concentration; it requires no energy and tends to lead to an equal distribution. | 7 | |
| 7978861617 | enzymatic protein | Protein that catalyzes a specific reaction. |  | 8 |
| 7978861618 | facilitated diffusion | Passive movement of substances through protein carriers. | 9 | |
| 7978861619 | fluid-mosaic model | Model for the cell membrane based on the changing location and pattern of protein molecules in a fluid phospholipid layer. |  | 10 |
| 7978861620 | glycoprotein | Protein in plasma membranes that bears a carbohydrate chain. usually acts as an ID marker |  | 11 |
| 7978861621 | hypertonic solution | Higher solute concentration (less water) than the cytoplasm of a cell; causes a cell to lose water by osmosis. | 12 | |
| 7978861622 | hypotonic solution | Lower solute (more water) concentration than the cytoplasm of a cell; | 13 | |
| 7978861623 | isotonic solution | Solution that is equal in solute concentration to that of the cytoplasm of a cell; causes a cell to neither gain nor lose water by osmosis. | 14 | |
| 7978861624 | junction protein | Proteins that assist cell-to-cell communication at the plasma membrane. |  | 15 |
| 7978861625 | osmosis | Diffusion of water through a differentially permeable membrane. | 16 | |
| 7978861626 | plasmolysis | Contraction of the cell contents in plants due to the loss of water resulting in cell membrane pulling away from cell wall. |  | 17 |
| 7978861627 | receptor protein | Protein located in the plasma membrane or within the cell; binds to a substance and sends a message into the cell to respond. | 18 | |
| 7978861628 | solute | Substance that is dissolved in a solvent, forming a solution. | 19 | |
| 7978861629 | solvent | Liquid portion of a solution that serves to dissolve the solute. | 20 | |
| 7978861630 | turgor pressure | Pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall; determined by the water content of the vacuole and provides internal support. |  | 21 |
| 7978861631 | flaccid | when a plant cell is somewhat wilted (opposite of turgid) |  | 22 |
| 7978861632 | sodium-potassium pump | Type of active transport that moves Na+/K+ across membranes (3Na+ out and 2 K+ in. Requires 1 ATP) | 23 | |
| 7978861635 | Proton pump | Protein that performs Active transport of H+ across membrane | 24 | |
| 7978861636 | Co-transport | When a molecule can only be carried across the membrane with a second molecule (usually linked to a pump) |  | 25 |
| 7978861637 | phospholipid | main component of the cell membrane. Has a hydrophilic & hydrophobic portion. |  | 26 |
| 7978861639 | Water Potential | The measure of the relative tendency of water to move from one area to another. Water travels toward the LOWER one. |  | 27 |
| 7978861640 | Solute Potential | -iCRT (measured in bars). For pure water it is zero. |  | 28 |
| 7978861641 | simple diffusion | moves from high to low; no energy needed | 29 | |
| 7978861642 | Active Transport | Movement of substances against the concentration gradient through protein carrier; requires energy | 30 | |
| 7978861643 | Phagocytosis | Cell engulfing large particle. | 31 | |
| 7978861644 | Pinocytosis | Cell Engulfing small particles/liquid droplet (cell drinking) | 32 |
