Section 3 - Cell Transport Vocab Quiz

The semipermeable boundary containing the cell and its components

• plasma membrane
• phospholipid
• fluid mosaic model
• selectively permeable

a lipid that contains phosphorus and that is a structural component in cell membranes

• plasma membrane
• phospholipid
• fluid mosaic model
• selectively permeable

describes the structure of the plasma membrane as a mosaic of components including phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, glycoproteins, and glycolipids (sugar chains attached to proteins or lipids, respectively), resulting in a fluid character (fluidity)

• plasma membrane
• phospholipid
• fluid mosaic model
• selectively permeable

A property of a plasma membrane that allows some substances to cross more easily than others

• plasma membrane
• phospholipid
• fluid mosaic model
• selectively permeable

Energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell membrane against a concentration difference

• active transport
• homeostasis
• passive transport
• diffusion

A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state; the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry, such as blood glucose, around a particular level

• active transport
• homeostasis
• passive transport
• diffusion
