Homeostasis Flashcards

10227136549	Made of cellulose. Found in plant cells. Provides structure, support and protection for the plant cell.	Cell Wall	0
10227136550	It controls what can come into the cell, as well as what can leave the cell. Aids in homeostasis.	Plasma membrane	1
10227136551	Store food, water, and waste products for the plant cell.	Vacuole	2
10227136552	The process of maintaining a stable internal environment.	Homeostatsis	3
10227136553	Chemicals that balance pH.	Buffer	4
10227136554	Measure of how acidic/basic something is.	pH	5
10227136555	Moving materials into and out of the cell, while using energy. Moving from low concentration to high concentration.	Active transport	6
10227136556	Moving materials into and out of the cell, without using energy. Moving from an area of high concentration to low concentration.	Passive transport	7
10227136557	Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.	Diffusion	8
10227136558	Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. A type of passive transport.	Osmosis	9
10227136559	the process of particles, which are sometimes called solutes, moving through a solution or gas from an area with a higher number of particles to an area with a lower number of particles	Concentration gradient	10
10227136560	What the cell membrane is comprised of	Phospholipid bilayer	11
10227140185	opposite of a hypotonic solution. The water has more of a solute than the cell does. Water rushes out of the cell in order to maintain equilibrium.The cell dries out as it loses water, and it eventually dies.	Hypertonic	12
10227140186	solution where the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside it; This causes the cell to swell with water, and if it's not stopped, it will burst!	Hypotonic	13
10227148320	movement of water out of the cell is exactly balanced by movement of water into the cell. (equal amounts of solute and water on either side).	Isotonic	14
