Unit 4 - Cellular Processes

Thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell

• Fermentation
• Carbon
• Cell (plasma) membrane
• Cellular respiration

Structural model of the plasma membrane where molecules are free to move sideways within a lipid bilayer

• Phosphorylation
• Homeostasis
• Fluid mosaic model
• Glucose

Nutrients the body uses to build and maintain its cells and tissues; made up of amino acids

• Active transport
• Fermentation
• Thylakoid
• Proteins

A double layer of phospholipids that makes up plasma and organelle membranes

• Diffusion
• Anaerobic respiration
• Exocytosis
• Phospholipid bilayer

A measurement of how many particles exists within a certain volume of solvent

• Concentration
• Hypotonic
• OSmosis
• Exocytosis

Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

• Hypotonic
• Diffusion
• Fermentation
• Carbon

Diffusion of water through a slectively permeable membrane

• OSmosis
• Oxygen
• Fermentation
• Anaerobic respiration

When the concentratino of two solutions is the same

• Oxygen
• Fermentation
• Pigment
• Isotonic

When comparing two solutions, the solution with the lesser concentration of solutes

• ADP
• Hypotonic
• Cell (plasma) membrane
• Concentration

When comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solutes

• Light-independent reactions
• Fermentation
• Hypertonic
• Metabolism
