Five cards from this deck

Taken from the published archive, unedited. A deck page that shows no card says nothing.

  • Front active transport
    Back method of transporting material that requires energy
  • Front amphiphilic
    Back molecule possessing a polar or charged area and a nonpolar or uncharged area capable of interacting with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments
  • Front antiporter
    Back transporter that carries two ions or small molecules in different directions
  • Front carrier protein
    Back membrane protein that moves a substance across the plasma membrane by changing its own shape

This deck was modified when it was brought in: Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 4, 5 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text, and superscripts and subscripts were converted to the corresponding Unicode characters so that a charge or an index is not lost (H⁺, not H+; T₄, not T4). An entry was dropped when its definition is shorter than 30 characters or longer than 400 characters, when it contains an image, a table or a mathematical formula that is not reproduced here, when it refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, when it is dated by wording such as "currently" or "as of", when it is a bare cross-reference to another term, or when a superscript could not be converted faithfully. Duplicates were removed on the term and on the definition alike, both compared after lowercasing, removing parentheses and reducing plurals to singulars; a term or a definition already used by another Memoquiz deck built from OpenStax was dropped as well. Each deck is capped at 150 entries and holds at least 30. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
