1

hydrophobic

molecules repelled by water

New cards
2

hydrophilic

molecules attracted to water

New cards
3

integral membrane proteins

proteins attatched to surface of membranes

New cards
4

protein chanels

proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer

New cards
5

phospholipid

a molecules that has a polar head and two non-polar tails, keeps membrane fluid at low temperatures

New cards
6

lipid bilayer

double layer of phospholipids that make up a membrane

New cards
7

plasma membrane

membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm

New cards
8

phagocytosis

the uptake of large molecules into the cell by surrounding them with plasma membrane to form vesicles

New cards
9

exocytosis

the export of large molecules from the cell by the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane

New cards
10

turgid

cells that have gained water and become tight

New cards
11

flaccid

cells that have lost water and become floppy

New cards
12

isotonic solution

has the same concentration of solute as inside the cell

New cards
13

hypertonic solution

solution that has a higher concentration of solutes than inside the cell

New cards
14

effect of hypertonicity

causes cell to lose water and become flaccid

New cards
15

hypotonic

solution that has a lower concentration of solutes than inside the cell

New cards
16

effect of hypotonicity

cell will gain water and become turgid
