Questions dealing with the structure and function of the palsma membrane including Transport through the membrane

AB
phospholipidsPlasma membrane is made of a double layer of:
tewrm that means attracts waterhydrophilic
term that means excludes waterhydrophobic
isotonic solutionsThe 2 solutions have the SAME solute concentration
If a solution has a greater solute concentration than another it is:hypertonic
hypotonicIf a solution has a lower solute concentration than another it is:
marker proteinsidentify the cell
channel proteinspores in the membrane that let substances pass through
3 types of membrane proteins1. Channel 2. Marker 3. Receptor
crenationshrinkage of a cell due to water loss
random movement of moleculesdiffusion
Example of a molecule that enters a cell via facilitated diffusionGlucose
diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membraneOsmosis
FiltrationMovement of substances across a membrane due to a pressure gradient
