Diffusion
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a _________ concentration to ____________ concentration.
What are the 4 major macromolecules?
Carbohydrates, Protein, Lipids, Nucleic Acids
This organelle is known as the “powerhouse of the cell.”
What is the mitochondria?
This is the movement of molecules from high to low concentration.
What is diffusion?
The cell membrane is mainly made of two layers of these molecules.
What is a phospholipid?
When molecules are evenly spread out, the system has reached this state.
What is equilibrium?
This macromolecule is the body’s main source of quick energy.
What is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
This type of transport does not require energy from the cell.
What is passive transport?
This molecule helps maintain membrane fluidity, especially in animal cells.
What is cholesterol?
Diffusion happens across this structure in a cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This macromolecule stores long-term energy and makes up cell membranes.
What are lipids?
This organelle is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins.
What is the golgi apparatus.
The diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is called this.
What is omosis?
This part of the phospholipid likes water, while the other doesn't.
What is hydrophilic and hydrophobic?
2 types of diffusion: Protein channels are used for this type of diffusion, they use no energy. Another type of diffusion allows molecules to cross the membrane with no help.
What is facilitated and simple diffusion?
This macromolecule contains nitrogen and is responsible for enzymes, hormones, and structure.
What are proteins?
What is a cell wall & chloroplast.
This process moves molecules against their concentration gradient using energy.
What is active transport?
These two types of proteins allows molecules in and out of the cell.
What are channel & transport proteins?
Give me an example of diffusion. Use vocabulary words.
Answers vary
Give me each macromolecule & their monomer.
These 3 organelles are involved in protein synthesis.
What is a Golgi Apparatus, Rough ER, and Vesicle?
These three types of solutions can cause a cell to shrink, swell, or remain the same size.
What is hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic?
Name 5 different parts of the cell membrane.
Answer vary. What is tail, head, cholesterol, glycolipid, glycoprotein, channel protein, carrier protein
