Cell Membranes

cell membranes and crossing the membrane

TermDefinition
phospholipid forms bilayer of cell membrane with nonpolar tails sandwiched in the middle
transport protein membrane protein that lets polar, charged or large materials in or out of the cell
receptor protein membrane protein that binds to a signal molecule
diffusion movement from areas of higher to areas of lower until equilibrium
equilibrium even distribution or balance so no net change occurs
solute material dissolved in a solvent
solvent liquid that dissolves solutes
facilitated diffusion movement across a cell membrane down the gradient through a transport protein
passive transport any movement across a cell membrane down the gradient without additional energy
active transport movement against the gradient from lower areas to higher areas using energy
protein pump transport protein that forces materials across the membrane against their gradient
exocytosis when vesicle fuses with cell membrane to transport larger stuff OUT
endocytosis when vesicle forms from cell membrane to transport larger stuff IN
permeable allowed to pass across a membrane
selectively permeable lets some stuff across a membrane but blocks other stuff
osmosis facilitated diffusion of water down its gradient across a membrane

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
