🗑
What are the two types of transport proteins?   show
🗑
show Diffusion  
🗑
_______ transport moves molecules against their concentration gradient and uses carrier proteins.   show
🗑
_______ diffusion uses membrane proteins and no ATP energy to move molecules down the concentration gradient.   show
🗑
In osmosis water will always move _______ the hypertonic solution across the membrane.   show
🗑
Plant cells become ______ or firm when placed in a hypotonic solution.   show

🗑
______ is a type of endocytosis in which a cell obtains fluid by creating vesicles around the fluid.   show
🗑
This type of endocytosis occurs when vesicle formation is triggered by solute binding to receptors on the plasma membrane.   show
🗑
LDL receptors in human cells use receptor-mediated endocytosis to take in _________.   show
🗑
Missing or defective LDL receptors in humans can result in high LDL numbers and those individuals have familial ________.   show
🗑


   

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.
