Back
Channel proteins are integral membrane proteins that form tunnels through which specific molecules can passively diffuse across the cell membrane during facilitated diffusion.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Define osmosis in the context of cellular membranes.
Back
Osmosis is the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is active transport and how does it differ from passive transport?
Back
Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy in the form of ATP, unlike passive transport which does not require energy.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Describe the function of vacuoles in a cell.
Back
Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within a cell that store water, nutrients, and waste products, helping to maintain cellular homeostasis.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the term 'fluid mosaic model' refer to in cell biology?
Back
The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the cell membrane as a dynamic and flexible arrangement of various proteins and lipids that move laterally within the layer.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Explain the significance of selective permeability in cell membranes.
Back
Selective permeability allows the cell membrane to regulate the entry and exit of substances, maintaining homeostasis and allowing the cell to control its internal environment.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?
Back
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes, including active transport and metabolic reactions.
