Active Transport
answer
Requires the input of energy to move molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration
question
Bulk Transport
answer
The movement of relatively large quanities of material into or out of a cell at one time (does not use energy)
question
Carrier Transport
answer
The use of proteins in a cell membrane to move molecule from a low concentration on one side to a high concentration on the other.
question
Endocytosis
answer
The movement of relatively large quantities of material into a cell at one time.
question
Exocytosis
answer
The movement of relatively large quantities of material out of a cell at one time.
question
Diffusion
answer
The movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration, without the input of energy
question
Osmosis
answer
The movement of water from a high concentration to a low concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane without the input of energy.
question
Scenario: Osmosis
answer
Scenario: Salt is poured onto a leech causing it to release its bite from the victim.
question
Scenario: Bulk Transport
answer
Scenario: Cell in the human body take cholesterol particles in by endocytosis.
question
Scenario: Carrier Transport
answer
Scenario: Cells in the human body have proteins that work to maintain negatively charged particles inside of the cell while keeping positively charged particles outside of the cell. This goes against concentration gradient.
question
Scenario: Diffusion
answer
Scenario: Ink that was released into the water by a squid moments later became unnoticeable.
question
Permeable
answer
ablity of particle to pass through a membrane
question
Hypotonic
answer
The concentration of solutes in the solution is lower than inside the cell.
question
Hypertonic
answer
The concentration of solutes in the solution is higher than inside the cell.
question
Isotonic
answer
The concentration of solutes inside the cell is the same as outside the cell.
