Most eukaryotes have _______________________ organelles.

1

By regulating what goes in and out of the cell, the cell membrane helps to regulate...

1

The major part of the cell membrane is/are the

2

Draw a picture of a phospholipid and label the regions that are: polar, and nonpolar.

1

Which parts of the phospholipid make the inner layer or region of the bilayer?

1

Very small nonpolar molecules such as gases like carbon dioxide, are able to go through the cell membrane in a process called

1

Simple diffusion is also classified as

1

In passive transport, particles move through the cell membrane with the concentration gradient (or moves with the flow), which means that

2

Sometimes particles need assistance crossing the phospholipid bilayer, because they are _________________ and need the help of a transport protein.

1

When help is needed by transport protein, the transport proteins may ... in a process called facilitated diffusion.

1

Facilitated diffusion is also considered passive transport, because:
- it does not require energy
- it moves particles with the concentration gradient

3

Give three examples of facilitated diffusion or passive transport.

1

The other type of transport is ____________________, which requires energy, because it moves particles against the concentration gradient.

1

ATP, also known as _______________________, contains a large amount of energy that is released when a phosphate bond is broken.

1

The sodium-potassium pump is an example of

1

Sometime very large particles like polysaccharides are needed by a cell and are taken in by a cell through a process called endocytosis, which is requires

3

Endocytosis is a general term for the following

1

The process in #16 is

1

Moving extracellular fluid from outside a cell to inside a cell is called

1

Low density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol) require receptors in order to be transported into a cell. This is an example of

2

Exocytosis is can be used to
