Term
Photosynthetic pigments on foldings
Definition
chromatophores or thylakoids
Term
What does damage to the membrane by alcohol, quatenary ammonium ( detergents) , and polymyxin antibiotics do to the membrane?
Definition
it causes leakage of cell contents
Term
Movement of a solute from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

What are transport proteins?
Definition
Proteins used to carry substances that are too large through the plasma membrane
Term
The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of lower water
Definition
Osmosis
Term

Definition
Yes
Term
Isotonic solution
Definition
No net movement of water
Term
Hypertonic solution
Definition

water moves out of cell

causing its cytoplasm to Shrink (plasmolysis)

Term
Hypotonic solution
Definition
Water moves into the cell and may cause the cell to burst if the wall is weak or damaged (osmotic lysis)
Term
