Integral proteins
go all the way through the cell membrane
Peripheral proteins
Located on the surface of the cell membrane
Transport proteins
let materials into/out of the cell
Selective permeability
Lets certain things in/out
Cellular transport
the process of going through the cell
Passive transport
Movement of materials from high to low without outside energy
Active transport
Movement of materials from low to high using ATP
Concentration gradient
Areas of both high and low concentrations in a solution, energy required
Diffusion
the movement of materials from high to low
Equilibrium
when materials are evenly spread out in a solution
Osmosis
movement of water down its gradient through a selectively permeable membrane
Water Balance/Osmoregulation
regulating water by osmosis
Isotonic
same amount of solute/stuff
Hypertonic
higher amount of solute/stuff
Hypotonic
lower amount of solute/stuff
Turgor pressure
Allows for plant to stand upright
Facilitated diffusion
diffusion assisted by using transport proteins
Channel proteins
tunnels (hydrophilic/polar)
Carrier proteins
change shape, no ATP used
Na/K pump
prevents equilibrium by making sure the plasma membrane is charge (more negative outside)
Endocytosis
taking in large molecules (bulk quantities)
Phagocytosis
making food vacuole using pseudopods
Pinocytosis
Dissolves solutes (liquid)
Exocytosis
getting rid of large molecules
