New cards

Cell membranes are made up of ________ and _________

  • protein

  • lipids

2
New cards
  1. Plant cells have a cell wall

    made of ______

cellulose

3
New cards

The cellulose in plants is _____ in our diet

fiber

4
New cards

They have cell walls but they do not contain cellulse

bacteria and fungi

5
New cards

Cell membranes and cell walls are ______ allowing

water, carbon dioxide, oxygen and nutrients to pass

through easily

porous

6
New cards

Cell membrane separates the ________ of a cell

from its environment—surrounds the cell

components

7
New cards

“Gatekeeper” of the cell—regulates the flow of

materials into and out of cell—_____________

selectively permeable

8
New cards
  • Cell membrane helps cells maintain ____________. It is a stable internal balance

homeostasis

9
New cards

A process that does not require energy to move

molecules from a HIGH to LOW concentration

passive transport

10
New cards

3 types of paassive transport

  • diffusion

  • facilitated diffusion

  • osmosis

11
New cards

is the movement of small particles across a

selectively permeable membrane like the cell membrane

until equilibrium is reached.

diffusion

12
New cards

These particles move from an area of high concentration

to an area of low concentration.

partuicles in diffusion

13
New cards

_________ is the diffusion of water through a selectively

permeable membrane like the cell membrane

osmosis

14
New cards

_____ diffuses across a membrane from an area of high

concentration to an area of low concentration.

water

15
New cards

Semi-permeable membrane is permeable to water,

but not to _______

sugar

16
New cards

is the movement of larger

molecules like glucose through the cell membrane –

larger molecules must be “helped”

facilitated diffusion

17
New cards

Proteins in the cell membrane form _______ for large

molecules to pass through

channels

18
New cards

Proteins that form channels (pores) are called ____________

protein channels

19
New cards
  • contain a high concentration of solute

    relative to another solution (e.g. the cell's cytoplasm).

hypertonic solution

20
New cards

When

a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the water diffuses

out of the cell, causing the cell to ________

shrivel.

21
New cards

contain a low concentration of solute

relative to another solution (e.g. the cell's cytoplasm).

hypotonic solution

22
New cards

When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the water diffuses

into the cell, causing the cell to ____and possibly ______

  • swell

  • explode

23
New cards

contain the same concentration of solute

as another solution (e.g. the cell's cytoplasm).

isotonic

24
New cards
  • When a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, the water diffuses into and

    out of the cell at the ________

  • The fluid that surrounds the body cells is _______

  • sae rate

  • isotonic

25
New cards
  • is the movement of molecules from LOW to HIGH

    concentration.

  • Energy is required as molecules must be pumped against the

    concentration gradient.

active transport

26
New cards

Proteins that work as pumps are called __________

protein pumps

27
New cards

is the mechanism by which

very large molecules (such as food and wastes) get into

and out of the cell

endocytosis and exocytosis

28
New cards

Food is moved into the

cell by _____________

endocytosis

29
New cards

Wastes are moved out

of the cell by ______________

exocytosis
