Cell Transport
The term used when cells get rid of large molecules using vesicles
What is exocytosis?
What does Hydrophobic mean?
What is... something that does not like water
A type of protein sometimes called a catalyst that helps speed up reactions
Enzymes
This organelle breaks down things found in the cell and can be used by the cell to go through programmed cell death.
The term used to describe the diffusion of water
What is osmosis?
This type of passive transport allows molecules to enter and exit through specific channels
What is facilitated diffusion?
What is the main job of DNA?
Stores and transmits genetic information
The body uses this type of macromolecule for energy first.
Carbohydrate
To let control what enters and leaves the cell.
The type of solution where the concentration of solute is equal on both sides
What is an isotonic solution?

Active transport requires this:
What is energy?
What elements are found in all macromolecules?
CHO
Why are proteins used last for energy if they offer the same amount of energy as carbs?
They have a wide variety of important functions.
All cells have these 4 things in common.
What is...
Cell membrane, ribosomes, genetic material, and cytoplasm
The three types of passive transport
What are diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis?
This type of solution is mostly water with very little solute or stuff mixed in. This solution will cause cells to swell up.
What is hypotonic solution?
The cell membrane is mostly made out of what?
What is a phospholipid?
Name all 4 macromolecules and their monomers.
Lipids - No true (fatty acids)
Proteins - Amino acids
Nucleic acids - Nucleotides
Name the 3 parts of the cell theory.
1. All living things are made out of cells
2. Cell are the basic unit of life.
3. Cells come from preexisting cells
