Biology

23 Terms

1

simple diffusion

when a substance goes directly through the bilayer

New cards
2

gradient

differences in concentration

New cards
3

passive transport

no energy is needed, move from a high to low concentration

New cards
4

diffusion

movement that goes with the gradient

New cards
5

tonicity

ability of a surrounding solution to gain or lose water

New cards
6

facilitated diffusion

substances require a protein transporter to be able to cross the membrane

New cards
7

active transport

energy is required, substances move against the concentration gradient

New cards
8

uniporter

a protein transporter that pumps one substance across a membrane

New cards
9

cotransporter

a protein transporter that pumps several substances across a membrane

New cards
10

antiporter

a protein transporter that moves substances in opposite directions

New cards
11

symporter

a protein transporter that moves substances in the same direction

New cards
12

coupled transport

a gradient that is made by a uniporter, is used to move substances through a cotransporter

New cards
13

endocytosis

when materials are internalized by a cell through engulfing

New cards
14

phagocytosis

engulfs large solid particles

New cards
15

pinocytosis

engulfs a portion of something, taking in dissolved contents in bulk

New cards
16

receptor-mediated endocytosis

when a membrane is lined with receptors that bind to specific materials and move in bulk

New cards
17

clathrin-coated pits

areas where receptors are found

New cards
18

isotonic

movement in and out of cells is =

New cards
19

hypotonic

movement into the cell

New cards
20

hypertonic

movement out of the cell

New cards
21

osmoregulation

the attempt to maintain a proper water balance

New cards
22

selectively permeable membrane

only let in certain molecules based on their size and polarity

New cards
23

transcytosis

substances enter, move through, then exit a cell
