Cards

Term
sodium-potassium pump
Definition
carrier protein uses ATP to actively transport sodium ions into cell
Term
active transport
Definition
mov't of chemical things against conc. gradient thru membrane, uses cell's energy
Term
ion channel
Definition
complez of proteins molecules in membrane that form pore where ions can pass
Term
carrier protein
Definition
moves things across membrane
Term
facilitated diffusion
Definition
mov't of things thru membrane along a conc. gradient w/ aide of carrier proteins
Term
phagocyte
Definition
cell that ingests & destroys foreign materials
Term
vesicle
Definition
small sac (forms during endocytosis)
Term
passive transport
Definition
mov't of things across cell w/o cell's energy
Term
exocytosis
Definition
subs. released by cells w/ vesicles that fuses w/ membrane & releases subs.
Term
diffusion
Definition
mov't from high conc. to low
Term
endocytosis
Definition
membrane surrounds particle= vesicle
Term
concentration
Definition
amt. of subs. in given qty. of a medium
Term
phagocytosis
Definition
cell engulfs big things or cells for food
Term
osmosis
Definition
diffusion of h2o from lesser con. to more conc. through membranes permeable by h2o
Term
pinocytosis
Definition
collection of h2o & solutions by endocytation
Term
hypotonic
Definition
conc. of subs. out of cell is lower than in cell
Term
hypertonic
Definition
conc. of subs. is greater out of cell than in cell
Term
cytolysis
Definition
bursting of cell in hypotonic solutions
Term
plasmolysis
Definition
shrink of cell in hypertonic solutions
Term
isotonic
Definition
conc. of subs. in equal in/out of cell
Term
tugor pressure
Definition
exerted on inside of membrane when h2o comes in
Term
equilibrium
Definition
conc. of subs. is equal throughout
Term
contractile vacuole
Definition
protist organelles that absords h2o when osmotic pressure changes
