Enzymes
Enzymes are made of this
Proteins
This type of transport requires NO energy
Passive Transport
An organic compound that is the main source of energy and is made up mainly of C, H, and O
Carbohydrate
The process of WATER moving across a semipermeable membrane
Osmosis
Water leaves the cell due to higher concentration of water inside the cell than outside the cell. (solution with higher solute concentration compared to another solution)
Hypertonic
The site where the substrate attaches to
Active Site
Substances move in what direction in passive transport?
High to low concentration
Organic molecule used for long-term energy storage
Lipid
A type of passive transport used to move ions and polar molecules in and out of the membrane with the assistance of proteins
Facilitated Diffusion
Solution with the same solute concentration as another solution
Isotonic
A substance that increases the rate of the reaction
Catalyst
Difference in concentrations of molecules across a space
Molecule that stores and transmits genetic information
Nucleic Acid
Simple tunnels or pores that molecules can use to enter or exit the cell
Channel proteins
Solution with lower solute concentration compared to another solution (water enters the cell)
Hypotonic
A reaction that absorbs energy
Endothermic reaction
EQUAL distribution of molecules in a system
Equilibrium
Lipids
Facilitated diffusion does not require this
Energy
Drinking salt water will do this to you
The loss of a protein's shape due to heat or pH changes
Denature
Movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration
Diffusion
These are made of amino acids
Proteins
Proteins that change their shape to transport substances through a membrane
Carrier protein
What will happen to a cell if it has too much water in it?
