Term
CELL MEMBRANE PUMP
Definition
USES ATP & CARRIER PROTEIN TO MOVE SUBSTANCES ACROSS THE PLASMA MEMBRANE
Term
SODIUM POTASSIUM PUMP
Definition
  • TRANSPORT 3 Na out of the cell & 2 K into the cell
  • ATP supplies energy

Term
PINOCYTOSIS
Definition
  • CELL DRINKING
  • ENGULFS EXTRACELLULAR FLUID, SUGARS & PROTEINS
Term
PHAGOCYTOSIS
Definition
  • CELL EATING
  • ENGULFS DEBRIS, BACTERIA, SIZABLE OBJECTS
Term
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
Definition
  • REQUIRES ENERGY - ATP
  • MOVES AGAINST THE CONCENTRATION GRADIENT
  • LOW TO HIGH CONCENTRATION
Term

  • SOLUTION THAT CAUSES A CELL TO SHRINK B/C OF OSMOSIS
  • [image]
Term
HYPOTONIC SOLUTION
Definition
  • FAT LIKE A HIPPO
  • CELL SWELLS
  • SOLUTION THAT CAUSES CELL TO SWELL B/C OF OSMOSIS
  • [image]
Term
ISOTONIC SOLUTION
Definition
  • CHILLIN', STAYS THE SAME
  • CELL STAYS THE SAME SIZE
  • SOLUTION THAT PRODUCES NO CHANGE IN CELL VOLUME B/C OF OSMOSIS
  • [image]
Term
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
Definition
  • REQUIRES NO ENERGY
  • MOVES WITH THE CONCENTRATION GRADIENT
  • HIGH TO LOW CONCENTRATION
Term
DIFFUSION
Definition
  • MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES FROM HIGH TO LOW CONCENTRATION
  • MUST HAVE A CONCENTRATION GRADIENT
  • [image]
Term
CONCENTRATION GRADIENT
Definition
DIFFERENCE IN CONCENTRATION OF SUBSTANCE ACROSS A SPACE
Term
OSMOSIS
Definition
  • MOVEMENT OF WATER FROM HIGH TO LOW CONCENTRATION
  • [image]
Term
FACILITATED DIFFUSION
Definition
  • MOLECULES DON'T DIFFUSE FAST ENOUGH DESPITE THE GRADIENT
  • CARRIER PROTEINS ARE NEEDED TO MOVE MOSECULES ACROSS PLASMA MEMBRANE
  • [image]
Term
DIFFUSION THROUGH ION CHANNELS
Definition
  • INVOLVES MEMBRANE PROTEINS CALLED ION CHANNELS ACROSS THE MEMBRANE B/C MOLECULES ARE INSOLUBLE IN LIPIDS
  • [image]
Term
SOLUTE
Definition
SOLID PARTICLES IN A MIXTURE
Term
SOLVENT
Definition
  • LIQUID PORTION OF MIXTURE THAT DISSOLVES SOLUTE
  • WATER IS THE UNIVERSAL SOLVENT
