CELLS & CELL TRANSPORT OUTLINE
Unit Test Date ______
TEKS Covered this Unit:
(4) The student knows that cells are the basic structures of all living things with specialized parts that perform specific functions and that viruses are different from cells. The student is expected to
(B) investigate and explain cellular processes, including homeostasis, energy conversions, transport of molecules, and synthesis of new molecules; and Readiness Standard
STUDENTS NEED TO UNDERSTAND AND KNOW THE FOLLOWING:
Cell Transport:
1. Know the following functions of the components that make up cell membranes: phospholipids, cholesterol, & proteins
2. Investigate how the plasma membrane helps maintain homeostasis.
3. Distinguish between impermeable, semi-permeable, & selectively permeable
4. Investigate what a solution, solvent and solute are and give examples.
5. Explain the difference between simple diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and active transport
6. Compare active & passive transport
7. Explain the following types of active transport: endocytosis, exocytosis, phagocytosis, & pinocytosis
8. Know several factors that increase the rate of diffusion
9. Compare isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic solutions & how each type affects a cell.
10. Compare and contrast Diffusion vs osmosis, facilitated diffusion vs. active transport, and endocytosis vs exocytosis
Know what is meant by plasmolysis and turgor pressure VOCABULARY TERMS TO KNOW:
