Term
What is the difference between Active and Passive Transport
Definition
Passive transport uses 0 energy/ATP, Active Transport requires Energy
Term
Describe the different kinds of Transport?
Definition
Passive Transport uses no energy, requiring only random moving molecules.

Active Transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane requiring energy to be expanded by the cell.
Term
What is a carrier protein?
Definition
A protein that transports specific substance across the cell membrane.
Term
Isotonic?
Definition
equilibrium
Term
Hypertonic?
Definition
Too much water
Term
Hypotonic?
Definition
Not enough water
Term
What kind of Transport is Active?
Definition
The Sodium-Potassium pump, Exocytosis, and Endocytosis.
Term
What kind of transport is Passive?
Definition
Diffusion, Osmosis, Facilitated diffusion.
Term
Molecules that move by Diffusion?
Definition
CO2,O2)
Term
Molecules that move by Osmosis?
Definition
Water (h2o)
Term
Molecules that move by Facilitated Diffusion?
Definition
Glucose
Term
Molecules that move by Endocytosis?
Definition
Proteins
Term
Which kind of transport do white blood cells use when they engulf and destroy Bacteria?
Definition
Phagocytosis.
Term
How do Plant, Animal and Human cells compare in size?
Definition
Plant cells and animal cells are much larger than bacterial cells. (Animal cells are at least 5x larger 10-100MM)
Term
How do Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes differ? (their Organelles)
Definition
Prokaryotes lack a Nucleus and membrane encased Organelles (Golgi Apparatus, Mitochondria, Cytoskeleton, Endoplasmic reticulum Etc.)
Term
What is a Prokaryote
Definition
Prokaryotes are organisms made up of cells that lack a cell nucleus or any membrane-encased organelles.
Term
What is a Eukaryote?
Definition
Eukaryotes are organisms made up of cells that possess a membrane-bound nucleus, as well as membrane-bound organelles.
Term
How do Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes differ? (their Organelles)
Definition
Prokaryotes lack a Nucleus and membrane encased Organelles (Golgi Apparatus, Mitochondria, Cytoskeleton, Endoplasmic reticulum Etc.)
Term
How are Chromosomes and Chromatin Different?
Definition
Chromosome is the condensed version of Chromatin.
Term
Why do cells switch between chromosomes and chromatin?
Definition
During cell division cells turn chromatin into chromosomes.
Term
