The Plasma Membrane

for biology quiz that i missed

AB
cell membranes of unicellular organisms are ________ so the organism can moveflexable
what is meant by homeostasis?balanced internal conditions of cells
homeostasis is also called...dynamic equalibrim
how does the plasma membrane help maintain homeostasis?it controls what enters and leaves the cell
what is meant by the term selectively permeable?it allows the membrane to select what enters and leaves the cell
_______ bilayer makes up most of the cell membranelipid
the _____ ______ ______ describes the appearance of the cell membranefluid mosaic model
the phospholipid _______ of the cell membrane allows ______ molecules to pass through easily, but ______ do notbilayer; small; large
materials soluble in ____ can pass easily through the cell membranewater
list 3 substances that pass easily through the cell membranewater, carbondioxide, and oxygen
simple _______ requires NO energy to move things across the cell membranediffusion
with simple diffusion, molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of ____ concentrationlow
with diffusion, molecules move by their own natural ______ energy or energy of motionkenetic
explain what happens to a drop of food coloring put into a beaker of waterthey spread out around the beaker of water
_______ is the diffusion of _____ across a cell membraneosmosis; water
what is meant by NO NET movement?equal amounts enter and leave
hypotonicwater enters the cell
hypertonicwater leaves the cell
isotonicwater enters and leaves the cell
plasmolysisoccures whenever water moves out of a cell and the cell shrinks in size
cytolysisoccures whenever water moves into the cell causing them to swell and burst
explain what happens to a red blood cell when it is placed in distilled waterit is going to swell and could burst
explain what happens to a red blood cell placed in a concentrated salt solutionit is going to shrink and shrivel
simple diffusionthe molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
facilitated diffusiona type of passive transport where molecules are moved across a plasma membrane by means of transport protiens (does not require energy)
active transportrequires energy. transport of materials against a concentration gradient by means of carrier protiens
passive transport does ___ require additional energy and moves materials from ____ to ___ concentrationnot; high to low
give 2 examples of passive transport in cells1. oxygen or water diffusion into a cell and carbondioxide diffusing out. 2. glucose or amino acids moving from blood into a cell
facilitated diffusion uses _________ protiens to help move materials from ____ to ___transport; high to low
channel protiens have an opening or ____ through which molecules can passively move by ___________ diffusionpore; facilitated
some carrier protiens can change _____ to move materials across the cell membraneshape
______ transport requires additional energy to move materialsactive
active transport uses cellular energy known as ___ATP
active transport moves materials AGAINST the concentration gradient or from ___ to ____low to high
the ____________ pump is an example of active transportsodium potassium
moving very large partivles out of the cell is called ________prexocytosis
in exocytosis, wastes are moved out of the cell in ______ that fuse with the cell membranevesicles
________ involves moving large particles into a cellendocytosis
taking in large liquid droplets is called __________ or "cell drinking"pinocytosis
"cell eating" is known as __________phagocytosis
white blood cells engulfing bacteria is an example of _______phagocytosis
________ is the opposite of exocytosisendocytosis
