Cell Transport Mechanisms

Front

Diffusion

Back

Net movement of molecules or ions from a high concentration to a low concentration as a result of random movement and kinetic energy.

Front

Osmosis

Back

Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane

Front

Turgid

Back

The condition of the plant cell like a blown-up tire.

Front

Concentration Gradient

Back

an imaginary slope from ahigh concentration to a low concentration

Front

Endocytosis

Back

Cell engulfing material from outside

Front

Speeds up

Back

An increase in temperature _____ diffusion in a cell.

Front

Phagocytosis

Back

Cell eating, type of endocytosis

Front

water potential gradient

Back

A solution containing a lot of water has a high water potential. Thus in osmosis water diffuses down...

Concentration Gradient

Back

Difference in concentration across space

Front

Semipermeable Membrane

Back

Allows certain molecules to pass through
