amino group | amino group |
bladder | bladder |
brochiol tree | is the intricate network of air passages that supply the lungs |
cellular respiration | cellular respiration |
cholesterol | cholesterol |
concentration gradient | A difference in the concentration of the substance over a distance |
cytoplasm | cytoplasm |
cytosol | cytosol |
deamination | deamination |
diffusion | The movement of a substance down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated area to a less concentrated area |
equilibrium | a state of equilibrium |
exocytosis | The process of moving macromolecules out of a using the fusion of vesicles with plasma membrane |
endocytosis | Process of moving material into a cell using a vesicle |
facilitated diffusion | moves material from high to low concentration using carrier or transport proteins |
glycolipid | a lipid covalently linked to a sugar of polysaccharide |
glycoprotein | a protein linked to a sugar or polysaccharide |
hydrophobic | doesn’t like water |
hydrophilic | likes water |
hypertonic | Solution with the more dissolved substances than a cell causing the cell to shrink as it loses water |
hypotonic | Solution with the less dissolved substances than a cell, causes cell to swell as it gains water |
isotonic | Solution with the same amount of dissolved substances as a cell |
kidney | kidney |
liver | liver |
nitrogenous waste | nitrogenous waste |
osmosis | The diffusion of water through a semi permeable membrane from a lower concentration of solutes to a higher concentration of solutes |
passive transport | Movement of materials across a cell membrane without using energy. The movement is with the concentration gradient (from high to low). |
phagocytosis | phagocytosis |
phospholipids bilayer | phospholipids bilayer |
pinocytosis | pinocytosis |
solute | The solid that gets dissolved in a solution. |
solvent | A substance that dissolves other substances, thus forming a solution |
trachea | A tube that carries air to the lungs |
turgor pressure | a cells swelling against its cell wall caused by the pressure of the cell’s contents |
ureter | a muscular tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder |
urethra | the tube from which urine travels from the bladder to outside the body |
