New cards
7

genetic material

The ________ in a prokaryote is one continuous, circular DNA molecule that is found free in the cell in the nucleoid.

New cards
8

Secondary

________ active transport occurs when something is actively transported using the energy captured from the movement of another substance flowing down its concentration gradient.

New cards
9

Cytoplasm

________ within a plant cell is usually taken up by a large vacuole which is the central vacuole.

New cards
10

Microtubules

________ are found only on the outer surface of the plasma membrane.

New cards
13

Tonicity

________ is used to describe osmotic gradients.

New cards
14

Receptor

________- mediated endocytosis: involves cell surface ________ that work in tandem with endocytic pits that are lined with a protein called clathrin.

New cards
15

18

plant cells

Vacuoles serve multiple functions in ________.

New cards
19

plasma membrane

In exocytosis, a cell ejects waste products or specific secretion products, such as hormones, by the fusion of a vesicle with the ________, which then expels the contents into the extracellular space.

New cards
20

Adhesion

________ proteins form junctions between adjacent cells.

New cards
21

natural flow

Movement against the ________ is called active transport.

New cards

New cards
24

Cilia

________ and flagella have locomotive properties in single- celled organisms.

New cards
25

Bulk flow

________ is the one- way movement of fluids brought about by pressure.

New cards
26

Pinocytosis

________: the cell ingests liquids.

New cards
27

Ribosomes

________ can be either free floating in the cell or attached to another structure called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

New cards
28

Exocytosis

________ is basically reverse endocytosis.

New cards
29

hypertonic solution

A(n) ________ has more total dissolved solutes than the cell, while a hypotonic solution has less.

New cards
30

Kidney dialysis

________ is a specialized process by which the blood is filtered by using machines and concentration gradients.

New cards
35

Dialysis

________ is the diffusion of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane.

New cards
36

Channel

________ proteins form channels that selectively allow the passage of certain ions or molecules.

New cards
37

ligand

When a particle, or ________, binds to one of these receptors, the ________ is brought into the cell by the invagination, or "folding in "of the cell membrane.

New cards
38

lipid bilayer

The ________ has hydrophilic outside and hydrophobic on the inside so only hydrophobic things can pass that central zone.

New cards
