Flashcard: Cell Membrane & Cell Transport

Front

A balance that an organism maintains by regulating what goes into and out of the cell.

Back

Homeostasis

Front

The type of cellular transport that requires no energy.

Back

Passive Transport

Front

What condition occurs when too much water moves into the cell and the cell membrane bursts? Options: Plasmolysis, Exocytosis, Endocytosis, Cytolysis

Back

Cytolysis

Front

Which mode of cellular transport does NOT require energy? Options: Facilitated Diffusion, Protein Pumps, Endocytosis, Exocytosis

Back

Facilitated Diffusion

Front

The process of engulfing food or liquid particles into the cell.

Back

Endocytosis

Front

Which type of cellular transport moves molecules from low concentrations to high concentrations? Options: Osmosis, Diffusion, Passive Transport, Protein Pumps

Back

Protein Pumps

Front

The release of large particles, often waste materials from the inside of the cell to the outside of the cell.

Back

Exocytosis

Front

Condition that occurs if too much water leaves the cell and cell collapses.

Back

Plasmolysis

Front

What type of transport involves the movement of water from high to low concentrations? Options: Diffusion, Active Transport, Facilitated Diffusion, Osmosis

Back

Osmosis

Front

What type of transport uses transport (channel) proteins to help molecules move from higher to lower concentrations? Options: Protein Pumps, Diffusion, Facilitated Diffusion, Osmosis
