Cell Membrane & Cell Cycle Flashcard

Front

The diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane is

Back

Osmosis

Front

The movement of substances across the cell membrane that does require the use of energy by the cell is

Back

Active Transport

Front

The movement of substances across a cell membrane WITHOUT the use of energy by the cell is

Back

Passive Transport

Front

If an animal cell has a high concentration of magnesium ions inside of its cell, and it wants to maintain that high concentration (meaning the cell tries to keep the ions in the cell.) Which mechanism will the cell employ?

Back

active transport

Front

What are the three types of passive transport?

Back

Diffusion, Osmosis, Facilitated diffusion

Front

Which passive cell transport process allows materials to pass through the cell membrane using protein channels and carrier proteins?

Back

facilitated diffusion

Front

The diagram shows glucose molecules entering a red blood cell. By what method do these molecules enter the cell?

Back

Facilitated Diffusion

Front

The passage of molecules directly through the phospholipid bilayer is known as

Back

simple diffusion

Front

In which cell process is a particle released by the cell?

Back

Exocytosis

Front

An active transport process where a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell.

Back

Endocytosis
