100

what are the main components of the Phospholipid bilayer  

hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail. 

100
simple diffusion is...

the movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration. 

100

osmosis is 

diffusion of water across the membrane

100

what energy does active transport use

ATP

200
what is one of the functions of proteins in the membrane

transport or catalyst or communication or adhesion. 

200

True or false passive transport can use transport proteins.

True

200

can osmosis move water against the concentration gradient

No

200
ions move in which direction in active transport

against the concentration gradient from low to high

300

what role do carbohydrates play in the membrane

aid in cell to cell communication. 
300

True or false diffusion can move all molecules across the membrane

False

300

when blood cells are placed into a solution of this type they swell and may explode

hypotonic solution.

300

True or false Potassium uses ATP to cross the membrane in active transport

Fales Sodium uses ATP. 

400
the membrane is selectively permeable. describe how this is the case.

able to control movement of substances in and out.  

400

what type of molecules can cross the phospholipid bilayer?

non-polar eg oxygen, CO2, and water.

400

Hypertonic solutions would cause plant cells to 

shrivel after trying to reduce the salt concentration outside the cell. 

400

with bulk transport name the processes a vesicle will go through

Exocytosis and Endocytosis

500

the Fluid mosaic model describes what about the membrane

how the phospholipids, proteins and carbohydrates are not stationary in the membrane and can move around. 

500

increasing the surface area will do what to diffusion

increase the efficacy of diffusion 

500

a U tube demonstration has been left in the lab one side has a higher level of liquid what has happened in this tube

the water concentration has adjusted due the higher side having more solute than the lower side

500

inside the cell what role does the golgi body play in exocytosis

packages up the proteins into vesicles to be transported to the cell membrane
