1
New cards
phospholipid bilayer
the cell membrane is made of a _____ _____
2
New cards
phospholipid bilayer
two sets of phospholipids arranged top to bottom
3
New cards
glycerol and phosphate
the head of a phospholipid bilayer
4
New cards
polar
the head of a phospholipid bilayer polarity
5
New cards
two fatty acid chains
the tail of a phospholipid bilayer
6
New cards
non polar
the tail of a phospholipid bilayer polarity
7
New cards
channel proteins
sticks the whole way through; allows materials to pass through
8
New cards
adhesion proteins
allows calls to stick together; outside of cell
9
New cards
receptor protein
identify the cell (outside); send messages
10
New cards
integral proteins
proteins that span the entire phospholipid bilayer (go the whole way through)
11
New cards
peripheral proteins
proteins that are only on one side of the phospholipid bilayer (inside or outside)
12
New cards
fluid mosaic
each phospholipid or protein can move or float around making the cell membrane a
13
New cards
selectively/semi permeable
only some things are allowed to pass through (the cell membrane is this)
14
New cards
provides protection, support, and structure (shape)
purpose of the cell membrane
15
New cards
passive transport
the movement of materials across a membrane without the use of energy
16
New cards
diffusion
when molecules move from an area of high to low concentration by spreading out like perfume
17
New cards
osmosis
water passing across the cell membrane (diffusion of water)
18
New cards
facilitated diffusion
the movement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration to an area of low to high concentration through protein channels without the use of energy
19
New cards
tonicity
concentration of solutions
20
New cards
equilibrium
water will tend to move across the cell membrane until ______ is reached
21
New cards
isotonic
the solute has the same concentration as the cell
22
New cards
hypotonic
the solution has a lower solute concentration than the cell
23
New cards
in
if the area is hypotonic then the water will move
24
New cards
swell
hypotonic could hurt an organism by causing it to
25
New cards
cytolysis
animal cells swelling and bursting
26
New cards
hypertonic
solution has a high solute concentration than the cell
27
New cards
out
in an hypertonic area the water will move
28
New cards
shrivel
hypertonicity could hurt an organism by causing the cell to
29
New cards
plasmolysis
a cell shrinking from hypertonicity
30
New cards
ATP
active transport requires energy such as ___
31
New cards
active transport
materials moving from low to high with energy
32
New cards
ion pumps
pushes ions from low to high; requires energy; sets up a concentration gradient
33
New cards
Proteins Pumps
ion pumps are an example of ______ _____
34
New cards
endocytosis
large particles move materials into the cell by one of the two forms of _______
35
New cards
endocytosis
bringing molecules into the cell by forming a membrane vesicle around the molecule
36
New cards
nutrients
primary purpose of endocytosis
37
New cards
pinocytosis
endocytosis with liquids
38
New cards
phagocytosis
endocytosis with solids
39
New cards
white blood cells
what body cell uses endocytosis in its function
40
New cards
exocytosis
moving molecules out of the cell by forming a vesicle to join with the membrane
41
New cards
expelling waste and releasing hormones
the primary purpose of exocytosis is _______ ____ and ________ ______
42
New cards
out of
exo means
43
New cards
taking in
endo means
44
New cards
Yes because wastes need to exit the cell and nutrients need to be able to get into the cell, so for both of those things to happen, you'd need both endocytosis and exocytosis to work inside the cell.
Do you think that endocytosis and exocytosis can occur within the same cell? Explain your reasoning.
45
New cards
Amino acids would not be able to build proteins, and proteins are needed to help regulate cell's activity, so without amino acids, the cell could shut down and die.
Predict: If the transport proteins that carry amino acids into a cell stopped working, how might the process affect the cell?
