Question
Answer
show A phospholipid bi-layer with proteins embedded throughout  
🗑
What is a phospholipid bi-layer?   show
🗑
What is a protein called that spans across the entire phospholipid bilayer plasma membrane?   show
🗑
What is a protein called that exists on the outer parts of the phospholipid bilayer plasma mebrane?   show
🗑
What is the name of the arrangement of the phospholipids and proteins within the plasma membrane?   show
🗑
What is the difference between permeable and semipermeable?   show
🗑
show Semipermeable  
🗑
What kind of particles can easily pass through a cells plasma membrane?   show
🗑
show Highly charged or very big particles (unless they are aided by something that spans the membrane such as a receptor protein)  
🗑
show Diffusion or facilitated transport  
🗑
show By comparing it to changes in that molecules gradient (gradient referring to the differences in concentrations on both sides of the membrane)  
🗑
show To increase the gradient means to increase the difference in concentrations on both sides of the membrane  
🗑
What does it mean when something "moves along it's gradient"?   show
🗑
show To move against the gradient is to move from low concentration to high concentration  
🗑
If a graph of the gradient vs the rate of a molecule to cross a membrane reaches a point where increasing the gradient no longer increases the rate of crossing, what does this signify?   show
🗑
show You know that it has become saturated, meaning it is working at the maximum capacity and cannot work faster regardless of increases in the gradient  
🗑
What is facilitated transport?   show
🗑
What is active transport?   show
🗑
show Facilitated transport refers to the assisting of a molecule to cross a membrane along it's gradient while active transport refers to the assisting of a molecule to cross a membrane against it's gradient  
🗑
show Yes, Active Transport requires energy (ATP) because it opposes the natural flow of particles along their gradient  
🗑
show No, Facilitated Transport does not require energy because it goes along with the natural flow particles along their gradient  
🗑
show Active Transport and Facilitated Transport  
🗑
Name which of the following that exhibits saturation kinetics: Active Transport or Facilitated Transport   show
🗑
show Sodium Potassium ATPase pump  
🗑
Name the two ways things can enter or exit a cell other than through carrier mediated transport systems   show
🗑
What is endocytosis?   show
🗑
What is exocytosis?   show
🗑
What is phagocytosis?   show
🗑
show The cell eats something (usually a pathogen/bacteria), the thing eaten is then inside the cell surrounded by a small membrane bubble which is then fused with lysosomes that release their contents and digest everything in the bubble making a phagolysosome  
🗑
show 2: The inner membrane is arranged in shelf-like folds referred to as cristae  
🗑
How many phospholipid bi-layers surround the nucleus (describe)   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.
