Transport Mechanisms and the Cell Membrane

AB
homeostasissteady state
homeostasisbalance of intermal environment
selectively permeableonly certain materials may pass through
semipermeableonly certain materials may pass through
Fluid Mosaic Modelexplanation of membrane structure and function
lipoproteinmembrane composition
lipoproteinlipids + proteins
phospholipidglycerol + 2 fatty acids + phosphase group
fluiditylateral movement of phospholipids and proteins
saturated fatty acidno double bonds between carbons
unsaturated fatty aciddouble bonds between carbons
unsarurated fatty acidpercentage affects the fluidity of the membrane
choloserolpercentage affects the fluidity of the membrane
transport proteinspermeases
absorptiontaking in mecessary raw materials
secretionreleasing a manufactured product
excretionreleasing cell waste
egestionreleasing food waste
diffusiontendency of particles to disperse into any available volume
Kinetic energyenergy of motion
Brownian motionrandom movement of particle due to their kinetic evergy
concentration gradientfrom high concentration to low concentration
enzymescatalyze chemical reactions
dynamic equilibriumequal concentrations throughout
diffusion pressurepressure caused by differences in temperature, pressure, or concentration
passive transportdiffusion of a substance across a biological membrane
osmosisdiffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane
solutionhomogeneous mixture that may vary in its composition
solventcomponent of a solution in the greater quantitiy
solutecomponent of a solution on the lesser quantity
isoosmotic/isotonicsolution posessing the same concentration of solutes
osmotic balancedynamic equilibrium of water
hypoosmotic/hypotonicsolution possessing a lower concentration of solutes and a higher concentration of water
turgor pressureinternal water pressure on cell membrane
cytolosissplitting or bursting of cell
hyperosmotic/hypertonicsolution possessing a highter concentration of solutes and a lower concentration of water
plasmolysisshrinkage of cell due to water loss
osmoregulationcontrol of water balance
facilitated diffusionmovement of particles across a biological membrane with the use of transport proteins
active transportmovement of particles against the concentration gradient
endocytosisprocess in which a cell takes in macromolecules or large particles by forming vacuoles ore vesicles
phagocytosisengulfing large, solid particles of food using psuedopodia
psuedopodia"false feet"; temporary cellular extensions
pinocytosisengulfing of extracellular droplets by using channels
exocytosisexpulsion of large particles or large quantities of materials from the cell
