Transport Across the Cell Membrane

Front

The release (exit) of large particles from the cell is

Back

exocytosis

Front

The movement of water across the cell membrane from areas of high concentration of water to areas of low concentration of water

Back

osmosis

Front

The type of cell transport that DOES NOT require energy

Back

passive transport

Front

The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to areas of low concentration until equilibrium is reached.

Back

diffusion

Front

When an organism maintains a stable internal environment by properly regulating all of its body systems

Back

homeostasis

Front

The process of engulfing or bringing large particles into the cell.

Back

endocytosis

Front

Transport of molecules across the cell membrane that requires energy.

Back

active transport

Front

If two solutions have the same solute concentration and the same water concentration, they are said to be ___________ to each other.

Back

isotonic

Front

What type of solution is a cell in when too much water moves into the cell and the cell bursts? Options: hypotonic, hypertonic, isotonic, proteotonic

Back

hypotonic

Front

Some molecules need the help of membrane proteins to move molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

Back

facilitated diffusion
