What is the primary function of the cell membrane?

Regulating the flow of substances into and out of the cell

What are the two main components of the cell membrane?

Phospholipids and transport proteins

Which type of molecule makes up the majority of the cell membrane?

Phospholipids

What is the main principle behind passive transport in cells?

Molecules move randomly from a high concentration to a low concentration

What is the key characteristic of the phosphate head of a phospholipid?

It is polar (water loving)

What is the process where water moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane?

Osmosis

What type of transport involves the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration?

Active transport

Which term best describes the property of the cell membrane that allows it to selectively allow certain molecules to pass through?

Permeability

Which type of solution causes a cell to swell and burst open (cytolysis)?

Hypotonic

Which type of transport uses transport proteins that 'select' only certain molecules to cross the membrane?

Facilitated diffusion

In which type of solution does water move equally in both directions, and the cell remains the same size?

Isotonic

What is the process where bulky material is taken into a cell?

Endocytosis

In which type of transport does the cell use energy to actively move molecules to where they are needed?

Active transport

Which type of solution has a higher concentration of solutes and a lower concentration of water than inside the cell, causing the cell to shrink (plasmolysis)?

Hypertonic
