Summer Cell
The membrane of a cell is composed of this substance.
What is phospholipid?
In cells, this is considered the "solvent."
What is water?
This is the diffusion of water from an area of higher concentration to a lower concentration.
What is osmosis?
Plant cells will swell in this type of environment.
What is hypotonic?
These cell organelles provide the energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
This type of cell transport requires the input of energy.
What is active transport?
This kind of solution is where the concentration of solute outside the cell is lower than that inside the cell.
What is a hypertonic solution?
This pressure is exerted on plant cell walls when the cells swell.
What is turgor pressure?
This cell organelle provides "address labels" for proteins to direct them to other parts of the cell.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
This is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
What is diffusion?
When the concentration of solute outside the cell is higher than that inside the cell, water moves in this direction.
What is outside the cell?
Plants will shrivel in this kind of environment.
What is hypertonic?
This network of thin tubes and filaments that crisscross the cell provides structural support for the cell.
What is the cytoskeleton?
This term refers to the difference in the concentration of molecules across a distance.
What is the concentration gradient?
What is outside the cell?
This is the loss of turgor pressure due to cell shrinkage.
What is plasmolysis?
These membrane sacs in plant cells containing chlorophyll support the absorption of light that creates energy for the cell.
What are thylakoids?
Facilitated transport is an example of what kind of cell transport.
What is passive transport?
This is the name of the organelle in a paramecium that allows it to eject water that has diffused into it.
What is a contractile vacuole?
This refers to the bursting of cells due to too much water diffuses in.
