What type of protein is found in Desmosomes? | Plaque and Keratin proteins |
What type of tissues are found in Gap Junction? | Muscle and Nerve |
What is the function of a Tight Junction? | It forms a "quileted" seal and doesn't let any material pass through it into the cell. |
What type of cell is plasmodesmata found in? | Plant cells |
What is the difference between uniports, symports and antiports? | Uniports only transport one substance in one direction. Symports transport two different substances in the same direction. But antiports transport two different substances in two different directions. |
What does a Sodium Potassium Pump do? | It's an antiport that breaks down a molecule of ATP and uses the energy released to bring two K+ ions into the cell and export 3 Na+ ions. |
What is the movement of water through a membrane? | Osmosis |
What is the movement of a molecule with its concentration gradient? | Passive Transport |
What is the movement of a molecule against its concentration gradient? | Active Transport |
What does selective permeability do? | Its a type of membrane that only allows certain molecules through. |
What is Turgor Pressure? | Pressure from a vacuole |
What does pinocytosis do? | The vesicles bring in small particles or fluids into the cell. |
What does phagocytosis do? | Engulfs large particles and sometimes the entire cell into the cell. |
What does receptor-mediated endocytosis do? | It binds to a specific membrane receptor and only lets specific things into the cell. |
What does exocytosis do? | Phospholipid bilayers merge and create an opening. A vesicle within a cell fuses with the plasma membrane and release contents to the outside world. |
What is diffusion? | The random movement of molecules or particles. |
What is a solution with a higher concentration of solute? | Hypertonic |
What is a solution with a higher concentration of solvent? | Hypotonic |
