#1
Front (Question)

What is the cell membrane made of?

Back (Answer)

protein and phospholipids

#2
Front (Question)

phospholipids

Back (Answer)

fat

#3
Front (Question)

selectively permable

Back (Answer)

lets small molecules pass through like oxygen and glucose and stops large molecules like starch from passing through

#4
Front (Question)

examples of passive transport

Back (Answer)

osmosis and diffusion

#5
Front (Question)

does passive transport require energy?

Back (Answer)

no

#6
Front (Question)

passive transport

Back (Answer)

occurs due to different concentrations of substances between the cell and its external enviroment

#7
Front (Question)

occurs due to different concentrations of substances between the cell and its external enviroment

Back (Answer)

concentration gradient

#8
Front (Question)

Diffusion

Back (Answer)

movement of molecules down a concentration gradient from a high concentration to a low concentration

#9
Front (Question)

diffusion substance in stomata leaves

Back (Answer)

carbon dioxide

#10
Front (Question)

diffusion movement in stomata leaves

Back (Answer)

from a higher concentration in the air to a lower concentration in the leaf

#11
Front (Question)

Diffusion substance in the villi

Back (Answer)

glucose

#12
Front (Question)

diffusion movement in villi

Back (Answer)

higher concentration in the villus to a lower concentration in the blood capillaries

#13
Front (Question)

diffusion substance in the alveolus

Back (Answer)

oxygen
