note cards for chapter 5

AB
Carrier ProteinSpecific proteins that move molesules.
Concentration GradientDiffrence in the concentration of molecules across space.
Contractile ValculeOrganells that remoe water.
CytolysisThe bursting of a cell.
DiffusionMovement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to a area of lower concentration.
EquilibriumWhen concentration of molecules in a substance is the same throughout is a state of equilibruim.
Facilated DiffusionA type of passive transport, used for molecules who cannot defuse rapidly.
HypertonicConcentration of a solute molesules outside the cell is higher than the concentration in the cytosol the soulution is HYPERTONIC
Ion ChannelA passive transport involving proteins.
IsotonicThe concentrations of solutes outside and inside are equal the solution is ISOTONIC.
OsmosisWhen water molecules diffuse across a cell membrane from a area of higher concentration to a area of lower concentration.
Passive TransportMovement of substances across the membrane.
PlasmolysisThe cells shrink away from the cell walls and turgor pressure is lost.
Turgor PressureThe pressure that water molecules exert against the inside of the cell wall.
Active TransportA area of lower concentration to higher concentration.
EndocytosisThe process where cells ingest external fluid, macromolecules, and large particles, including other cells.
ExocytosisVesicles in the cytoplasm fuse with the cell membrane releasing there contents into the cell's external environment.
PhagocyteAllows lysosomes to fuse with the vesicles that contain the ingested bacteria and viruses.
PhagocytosisMovement of large particles of whole cells.
Pinocytosisinvolves the transport of solutes or fluids.
Sodium-Potassium PumpA example fo active transport in a animal cell.
VesicleMembrane-bound organnelle.
HypotonicConcentration of a solute molesules outside the cell is lower than the concentration in the cytosol the soulution is HYPORTONIC.
