Cell Transportation:22

Front

Movement of molecules from Low to High concentration gradient

Back

Active Transport: A process that requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.

Front

What is the process called when water moves across a semipermeable membrane?

Back

Osmosis: The diffusion of water molecules from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

Front

What is the term for the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration?

Back

Diffusion: The passive movement of molecules down their concentration gradient.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

Cell Membrane: A protective barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes: Organelles that synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA.

Front

What is the difference between passive and active transport?

Back

Passive Transport: Movement of molecules without energy; Active Transport: Movement of molecules requiring energy.
