cell transport
Question | Answer |
---|---|
active transposrt | movement of a particle through a membrane against a concentration gradient with the use of energy from ATP |
amoeba | One-celled protozoan that can form temporary extensions of cytoplasm (pseudopodia) in order to move about. |
diffusion | movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. |
euglena | Any of various minute single celled freshwater organisms, characterized by the presence of chlorophyll, a reddish eyespot, and a single anterior flagellum |
honeostasis | maintenance of the internal stability of a cell organism, or population in its environment |
kidneys | function to maintain proper water and electrolyte balance, regulate acid |
osmosis | movement of water through a membrane from area of high concentration to an area of low concentration |
Osmotic pressure | increased water pressure that results from osmosis. |
Paramecium | freshwater protozoans that have an elongate body rounded at the anterior end and an oblique funnel |
Passive transport | The movement of a chemical substance across a cell membrane without expenditure of energy by the cell, as in diffusion. |
Perspiration | serves both as a means of excretion and as a regulator of body temperature through the cooling effect of its evaporation |
Protist | single celled or primitively multicellular organisms, characterized by having membrane bound organelles and a true nucleus. |
receptor proteins | have a high specific affinity for binding agents known to stimulate cellular activity |
