Biomolecules and Cellular Transports

Drag the information below to the correct Biomolecule that it describes Carbohydrates CHO Simple (sugars) or complex (starches) short term stored energy Made during Photosynthesis Broken down during cell respiration Pasta and Potatoes Lipids CHO. Saturated or unsaturated Long-term stored energy Fats, oils, waxes Most of the cell membrane Does not mix with water Proteins CHON Made in ribosomes Made of amino acids For building and repair of cells Meats, nuts Nucleic Acids CHONP DNA - blueprints of life Made of nucleotides Place the following into either Passive or Active Transport Passive Transport Does not require energy Goes with the concentration gradient Molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration reaches equilibrium maintains homeostasis Active Transport Does require energy Moves against the concentration gradient Molecules move from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration Allows cells to maintain very high or very low levels of certain molecules uses ATP Match the words about the cell membrane to their correct definitions Selectively Permeable Some molecules are allowed through - others are not Maintains Homeostasis Keeps the inside of the cell stable Lipid bilayer 2 phospholipid sheets facing each other tail to tail Match the following words to their correct definitions Diffusion movement of any molecule from high to low concentration Osmosis movement of WATER from high to low concentration Facilitated diffusion movement of molecules through protein channels Active Transport movement of a molecule from low to high concentration, through special protein channels; uses ATP Endocytosis cell "eating" - the cell engulfs food INTO the cell. "ENters the cell" Exocytosis cell "pooping" - the cell surrounds waste or materials to send OUT OF the cell "EXits the cell" Cell Membrane Separates the cell's cytoplasm from the outside environment. This is where particles can enter and leave the cell Equilibrium A term used meaning reaching the "same" on both sides of the cell. Also called homeostasis.
