Cell Transport

        Help!  

Term
Definition
show Movement of a solvent (usually water) from a low solute concentration to a high solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration of the two solutions. No energy required.  
🗑
show Movement of both solvent and solute particles from high concentration to low concentration in order to equalize the concentration of the solution. No energy required.  
🗑
show Movement of specific molecules down a concentration gradient (from high concentration to low concentration) passing through the membrane via a specific carrier protein. No energy required.  
🗑
Active Transport   show
🗑
Endocytosis   show
🗑
show Movement of very large molecules (out of the cell) across the cell membrane through the fusion of vesicles. Energy required.  
🗑
Solute   show
🗑
Solvent   show
🗑
show Concentration (amount) of solutes is equal on both sides of the cell membrane; this allows the flow of water through the cell membrane to be equal.  
🗑
show Concentration (amount) of solutes OUTSIDE of the cell membrane is GREATER than inside cell; this promotes a greater flow of water outside the cell thus leading to cell shrinking.  
🗑
show Concentration (amount) of solutes OUTSIDE of the cell membrane is LESS than inside the cell; this promotes a greater flow of water inside the cell thus leading to cell bursting.  
🗑
show process by which biological systems, including the cell, tend to maintain stability  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
