Which side of the membrane will water move by osmosis
What is the hypertonic environment?
The structure that regulates what enters and exits the cell?
What is the cell membrane?
Movement of molecules across a cell membrane that requires ATP energy.
What is active transport?
If one side of the cell membrane is hypotonic, the other side has to be ________ by default
What is hypertonic?
Four ringed structure in the cell membrane that keeps it fluid (keeps the membrane together)
What is cholesterol?
The movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration without using a protein channel.
What is diffusion?
This is the term for molecules that are non-polar, and do not get along with water.
What is hydrophobic?
Which molecules have No Problem, and use No Protein channel to move across the cell membrane?
What are small, non-polar molecules?
The phospholipid bilayer is made of these 2 components
What are phospholipids and proteins
A phospholipid kind of looks like a jellyfish. Which part of the phospholipid is hydrophobic?
What are the fatty phospholipid tails?
These act as channels to allow molecules to move in and out of the cell.
What are carrier proteins?
Which have greater diffusion rates of nutrients and wastes: A cell with a high or low SA:V ratio?
What is a high SA:V ratio (high SA:V ratio = high rate of diffusion = highly efficient at transport)?
A cell will neither shrink, nor swell, in this solution
What is isotonic?
