Transport Across a Cell Membrane

Students will test their knowlege of diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis

AB
diffusion, movement of molecules from high to low concentration until equilibrium is reached
equilibrium, dynamic state where the concentrations on either side of a cell membrane are equal; equal # of molecules go in and out.
osmosis, diffusion of water
turgor pressurePLANT cell swells
facilitated diffusion, moves material from high to low concentration using carrier or transport proteins
active transport, molecules move against the concentration concentration gradient; use ATP
endocytosis/exocytosissmall vesicles used to move materials in/out
phagocytosiswhite blood cells engulf and attack bacteria (cell eating)
plasmolyzedPLANT cell shrinks
Lysed or cytolysisANIMAL cell breaks open
FlaccidPLANT cell in isotonic environment
Phospholipidmain component of the cell membrane
