Cellular Transport-

Front

What happens to a cell in a hypertonic solution?

Back

The cell will shrink.

Front

What is the process called when vesicles export materials outside the cell?

Back

Exocytosis.

Front

What type of transport moves molecules from high to low concentration without energy?

Back

Passive transport.

Front

What are the main components of the cell membrane?

Back

Phospholipids and proteins.

Front

What is the role of proteins in the cell membrane?

Back

Proteins assist in transport and communication.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

A process that uses proteins to help move molecules across the membrane without energy.

Front

What is active transport?

Back

The movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy.

Front

What are phospholipids?

Back

Molecules that make up the cell membrane, consisting of hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails.

Front

What is endocytosis?

Back

The process by which cells take in materials by engulfing them.
