Membrane Structure and Function

AB
DiffusionMovement of molecules from area of higher concentration to area of lower concentration.
CarrierProtein that combines with a molecule & helps move it thru cell membrane.
OsmosisDiffusion of water thru a semi-permeable membrane
ProteinsCell membrane has _____ embedded in it for specific functions
ExocytosisCells secrete substances to outside by this process.
SemiPermeability to only certain substances
IntoWhen you place a cell in a hypotonic solution
HigherMost substances move from _____ to lower concentration.
PlasmolysisMeans water leaves a plant & it wilts.
PassiveMovement of materials through the membrane
HydrophobicWater fearing
CholesterolPart of cell membrane that regulates permeability.
IsotonicSolution in which concentration of water is equal on both sides of membrane.
HypertonicA blood cell is placed in a solution & shrinks
FacilitatedGlucose moves across the cell membrane by the process of _____ transport or diffusion.
ImpermeableA membrane that doesn't allow any substances to pass thru.
ChannelCell membrane protein that allows free passage of molecules thru cell membrane.
HemolysisWhen a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution & explodes
MosaicThe cell membrane is called a fluid _____ model.
TurgidPlant cell in a hypotonic solution
FiltrationMovement along a water pressure gradient
PlasmaThe cell membrane is also called the _____ membrane.
PhospholipidThe cell membrane is mainly a _____ bilayer.
MembraneUniversal part (feature) of all cells
PinocytosisCell drinking
PhagocytosisCell eating
GradientDifferences in concentration from one side of membrane to the other
AdhesionType of cell junction that holds cells together where tissues stretch.
EndocytosisCells take in substances by vesicle formation.
TightType of cell junction which is zipper-like & forms a barrier.
HydrophilicWater loving
PlasmodesmataJunction which connects plant cell cytoplasm.
TransportMovement from lower to higher concentration - active _____.
EnzymaticCell membrane proteins that catalyze a specific metabolic reaction.
PeripheralProteins that do not penetrate cell membrane and play a structural role.
RecognitionCell ______ proteins help recognize self from non-self.
SelectivelyThe cell membrane only allows certain substances to pass thru - this means it is _____ permeable.
ActiveTransport process which requires energy to move substances across cell membrane
HypotonicType of solution in which concentration of water is greater outside cell.
ReceptorCell membrane protein shaped to bind with a specific molecule.
IntegralProteins embedded in cell membrane.
WallIn plant cells
