Back

The cell will swell or expand.

Front

What is Passive Transport?

Back

Movement of particles from high to low concentration without energy.

Front

What is Active Transport?

Back

Movement of particles from low to high concentration using energy.

Front

Define Diffusion.

Back

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane in transport?

Back

The cell membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell.

Front

What is a hypertonic solution?

Back

A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell.
