The term for a structure within a cell that performs a specific function
What is an organelle
Give two names for the structure that regulates what enters & exits the cell
What is the cell or plasma membrane
This type of cell transport does not require energy
What is passive transport
Movement of molecules across a cell membrane that requires energy.
What is active transport
Osmosis is considered this type of transport.
What is passive transport
This organelle is larger in plant cells than in animal cells
What is the vacuole
Type of molecule that forms the plasma membrane
What is a lipid
The movement of solutes from a high concentration to a low concentration
What is diffusion
Molecules that are too large to move in the cell are transported through this process.
What is endocytosis
This solution has an equal number of solutes in and outside the cell.
What is isotonic
This organelle digests food & breaks down old cell parts
What is the lysosome
This macromolecule acts as channels to allow molecules to move in and out of the cell
What are proteins
This term means the diffusion of water across a membrane
What is osmosis
Vesicles transport wastes out of the cell through this process.
What is exocytosis
Solution with high solute concentrations on the outside of the cell, making a cell shrink.
What is hypertonic
What are cell walls & chloroplasts
Reber used this analogy to help explain a cell membrane
What is a chain link fence
The movement of molecules across a membrane with the help of a protein. Does not require energy.
What is facilitated diffusion
During active transport molecules move in this direction across the cell membrane.
What is low to high
Solution with a low solute concentration on the outside, making the cell swell.
What is hypotonic
This organelle is made up of phospholipids
What is the cell membrane
The plasma membrane helps to regulate what goes in and out of cells, always looking to achieve this.
What is equilibrium
Name one example of a molecule that can easily move through a cell membrane
What is oxygen, carbon dioxide, water
The name of the energy cells use during active transport
What is ATP
After diffusion or osmosis a cell will be in this state.
