Cell Transport Vocabulary

The process where molecules spread out evenly on both sides of the cell membrane.

• Concentration Gradient

• Dynamic Equilibrium

• Passive Transport

• Active Transport

The amount of SOLUTE dissolved in a given amount of SOLVENT.

• Gradient

• Equilibrium

• Solution

• Concentration

The process of particles moving from LOW concentration to HIGH concentration where ENERGY is required.

• Homeostasis

• Passive Transport

• Active Transport

• Osmosis

The Cell Membrane is called the "Gatekeeper" of the cell. What does this mean?

• The cell membrane is selectively permeable, only letting certain things in and out.

• The cell membrane as a physical gate where a key is required to open it.

• The cell membrane has dynamic concentration of molecules.

• The cell membrane is permeable, letting anything in or out of the cell.

What is a mixture with two parts, one gets dissolved and one does the dissolving, called?

• A Heterogeneous Mix

• A Solute

• A Compound

• A Solution

If molecules move from an area of HIGH concentration to an area of LOW concentration, they are said to move ___________ the Concentration Gradient.

• AGAINST

• FOR

• WITH

• OPPOSITE

If molecules move from an area of LOW concentration to an area of HIGH concentration, they are said to move ___________ the Concentration Gradient.

• AGAINST

• FOR

• WITH

• OPPOSITE

The process of solute particles moving from HIGH concentration to LOW concentration where NO ENERGY is required.

• Homeostasis

• Active Transport

• Passive Transport

• Osmosis

A type of Passive Transport where larger solute particles cannot move across the cell membrane without help from a carrier protein.

• Osmosis

• Diffusion

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Concentration Gradient

What is the function of the cell membrane that maintains a stable internal balance by regulating what enters and leaves the cell?

• Cell Signaling

• Cell Recognition

• Homeostasis

• Protective Barrier
