|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Shorter, and more numerous than flagella, but made of the same chemicals and with the same arrangement. Found mainly in protozoa. Each passes through a stroke and recovery cycle as it beats. They allow ciliated organisms to move faster than those with only flagella. Can sometimes propel fluids, particles, bacteria etc |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Environment has a greater concentration than the cell, the cell will shrink. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Moves molecules and ions against concentration gradients from regions low to high concentration. Requires membrane proteins that act as carriers and enzymes. |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
| Move a substance from the outside of a bacterial cell to the inside while chemically modifying the substance so that it cannot diffuse out. Allows molecules such as glucose to be accumulated against a concentartion gradient. |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A type of endocytosis in which large vacuoles called phagosomes from around microorganisms and debris from tissue injury. These vacuoles enter the cell, taking with them large amounts of plasma membrane. The vacuole fuses with lysosomes which digest the contents of the vacuoles and release into the cytoplasm. |
