Term
Fuction of the cell membrane
Definition
Barrier between inside and outside of cell
Term
Phospholipids
Definition
Form lipid bilyaers
Term
Phospholipid bilayer
Definition
Makes up cell membrane.
Term
Steroids
Definition
Take up empty space
Term
Carrier proteins
Definition
Transport materials
Term
Integral proteins
Definition
move materials across membrane
Term
Peripheral Proteins
Definition
transport materials across bilayer
Term
Carbohydrates
Definition
act as an attachment point for other cells
Term
Hydrophobic
Definition
Tails; water fearing
Term
Hydrophilic
Definition
Heads; water loving.
Term
Permeable membrane
Definition
allows all things across
Term
Nonpermeable membrane
Definition
nothing gets through
Term
semipermeable membrane
Definition
allows somethings though; sugar not salt
Term
diffusion
Definition
move from more concentrated area to less concentrated area
Term
equilibrium
Definition
diffusions' purpose; same amount inside and outside of cell.
Term
concentration gradient
Definition
molecules are in differnt concentration inside and outside of cell. diffuse to lower gradient
Term
Osmosis
Definition
diffusion of water
Term
hypertonic solution
Definition
moves out of a cell; cell shrinks higher concentration outside of cell.
Term
hypotonic solution
Definition
moves into cell; cell grows.
Term
isotonic
Definition
equilibrium
Term
4 ways organisims deal with osmosis.
Definition
fresh water --> pump water out using contractile vacule

cytosis--> cell expands till it explodes

multi cellular --> pump solutes out; mimick environment

plants--> turger pressure
Term
Turger Pressure
Definition
Cell wall prevents cell from taking more water
