Boogie Man(CFU)- Cell membrane and Cell Transport

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane in all living organisms?

Back

Regulates the transport of materials into and out of the cell.

Front

What does active transport require?

Back

ATP.

Front

In which direction does active transport move materials?

Back

From low to high concentration.

Front

What happens to a cell in an isotonic solution?

Back

It stays the same size.

Front

What is a phospholipid?

Back

A type of lipid that forms the cell membrane, consisting of a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tails.

Front

What is homeostasis?

Back

How the body regulates itself for survival.

Front

What is the role of proteins in the cell membrane?

Back

They assist in transport and communication across the membrane.

Front

What is passive transport?

Back

The movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy.

Front

What is the difference between diffusion and osmosis?

Back

Diffusion is the movement of particles from high to low concentration, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water.

Front

What is a concentration gradient?

Back

A difference in the concentration of a substance across a space.
