5.8 Compare the processes of active transport and facilitated diffusion.
Front
Active Transport- uses energy to move cells across a membrane
Facilitated Diffusion- Uses proteins embedded in the cell membrane to help substances too large to pass on their own
Back
5.1 Describe the structure and diverse functions of cell membranes

These molecule form a lipid bilayer, with the hydrophillic parts on the outside, interacting with water, and the hydrophobic parts facin the inside.
Back
5.5 Explain how animal and plant cells change when placed into hypertonic or hypotonic solutions.

Hypotonic Solutions- they appear more plump
Back
A plant cell does best in a _________ solution, and animal cells do best in a __________ solution.
Front
hypotonic; isotonic
Back
5.9 Distinguish between exocytosis, endocytosis, phagocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis and how they are examples of active transport
Front
endocytosis- the taking in of a substance by a living cell
exocytosis- contents of a cell vacuole are released
phagocytosis- the ingestion of bacteria or other materia
receptor mediated endocytosis- cells absorb metabolites, hormones, other proteins - and in some cases viruses
These all use active transport because they use energy
Back
Distinguish between passive and active transport.
Front
Passive- moves high to low concentration
Active- low to high concentration
Both use ion channels to move ions across the cell membrane, in or out of the cell
Back
25.9 Explain how a dialysis machine functions.
Front
It mixes and monitors the dialysate. Dialysate is the fluid that helps remove the unwanted waste products from your blood. It also helps get your electrolytes and minerals to their proper levels in your body. The machine also monitors the flow of your blood while it is outside of your body.
Back
Explain the role of aquaporins in osmosis
Front
Initially, they speed up osmsosis. Doesn't use energy. In technical terms, they selectively conduct water molecules in and out of the cell, while preventing the passage of ions and other solutes.
Back
5.5 Distinguish between hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions.
Front
Hypertonic- more water outside than inside cell
Hypotonic- more water inside than outside cell
Isotonic- equal amount of water inside and outside of cell
Back
Describe how a concentration gradient determines which way substances will move across the membrane.
Front
The concentration gradient determines whether a substance needs to use passive or active transport.
Back
Distinguish between the terms semi-and selectively permeable.
Front
Semi-permeable- allows some particles to pass
selectively permeable- "chooses" what passes through. May go against concentration gradient
Back
25.6-25.7 Describe the anatomy and process by which the human excretory system produces filtrate and converts filtrate into urine.
Front
responsible for the elimination of wastes produced by homeostasis. Organs involved are sweat glands, the liver, the lungs and the kidney system. They convert filtrate into urine by nephron
Back
Describe the processes of filtration, reabsorption and secretion and excretion and where they take place in the nephron.
Front
Filtration- separate solids from fluids by adding a medium through which only the fluid can pass.
Reabsorption- nephron removes water and solutes and returns them to circulating blood.
Secretion- production and release of a useful substance by a gland or cell
Excretion- metabolic wastes and other non-useful materials are eliminated from an organism.
Stages go in the order as followed:
Filtration, reabsorption, secretion and excretion
Back
25.6 Describe the general and specific structure of the human kidney. Explain how this organ promotes homeostasis.
Front
Nephrons, the urine-producing functional structures of the kidney, span the cortex and medulla. The initial filtering portion of a nephron is the renal corpuscle which is located in the cortex. This promotes homeostasis by maintaining a balance within the body.
Back
What is the kidney's most important job?
Front
It filters/removes waste from the body and brings necessary materials back to the blood.
Back
In endocytosis, cells get _____, and in exocytosis, cells get _____. They both transport substances in _____
Front
smaller; bigger; bulk
Back
What should be in blood, and not urine?
Front
Protein and Glucose
Back
Molecules of the membrane
Front
-Phospholipids
-Pore Protein
-Fiborous Protein
-Glycoprotein
-Channel Protein
Back
4.2 Describe the structure of a plasma membrane and relate these parts to the functions of the plasma membrane.
Front
a. cell signaling
b. Excretion of wastes
c. selective transport
d. structural support
Back
5.2 Relate the structure of phospholipid molecules to the structure and properties of cell membranes.
Front
Tails facing inward because its hydrophobic heads facing outwards because it's hydrophilic • 2 layers • hydrophobic materials can go through
Back
Distinguish between Filtrate and Urine
Front
Filtrate- solutes in Nephron
Urine- Solutes in the blatter
Back
25.4 Describe osmoregulation in terrestrial animals.
Front
There is a loss of water from respiratory surfaces, a gain of water from eating and drinking, and a loss of water in concentrated excretions.
Back
25.5 Describe three ways that animals eliminate nitrogenous wastes and the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
Front
Wastes are eliminated and tranformed into the subsances as followed:
Ammonia->(Urea)->Uric Acid->Urine
Back
Describe the structure of a phospholipid and how this allows it to separate the contents of a cell from the environment.
Front
consists of two hydrophobic fatty acid "tails" and a hydrophilic "head" consisting of a phosphate group. They separate contents of a cell by using active and passive transport.
Back
5.3 Define diffusion and describe the process of passive transport.
Front
Diffusion- when a substance spreads once dispersed.
Passive Transport- A process that allows substances to pass a cell membrane without using energy.
Back
5.6 Explain how transport proteins facilitate diffusion.
Front
the proteins to move polar or charged substances across the hydrophobic regions of the membrane.
Back
5.4 Explain how osmosis can be defined as the diffusion of water across a membrane.
Front
The substance will diffuse down its concentration gradient, meaning the higher concentration solution will become lower to reach equilibrium.
Back
4.2 Explain why there are upper and lower limits to cell size.
Front
As a cell gets larger, its surface area to volume ratio gets much smaller, which means that it takes too long for substances diffusing into the cell at the membrane (e.g., nutrients or oxygen) to get to all parts of the cell.
Back
Describe the other structures that are found as part of cell membranes: proteins, glycolipids, glycoproteins, cholesterol.
Front
Proteins- made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids, which are attached to one another in long chains.
Glycolipids- attached by a glycosidic bond. Their role is to maintain stability of the membrane and to facilitate cellular recognition.
Glycoproteins- have short carbohydrate chains protruding out from the cell surface. They form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules surrounding the cell and thus help to stabilze membrane structure.
Cholesterol- maintains the integrity of the cell membrane.
Back
Processes that use ATP
Front
Active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis
Back
Describe how paramecium (single-celled organisms) exchange gases and waste versus multi-cellular organisms.

Front
can- Small and nonpolar (hydrophobic) molecules can freely pass through the membrane. C=O=C
can't- polar (charged) ions and large molecules such as proteins and sugars are barred passage. They can use facilitated diffusion to pass through hydrophibic regions of the membrane
