Vocabulary Practice week 5: cell transport/cell cycle

Controls everything that enters and leaves the cell.

• Cell membrane

  
  

• nuclear membrane

• cytoplasm

• endoplasmic reticulum

A solution that has a higher solute concentration than another solution. Water particles will move out of the cell, causing crenation.

• 
  hypotonic solution

• hypertonic solution

  
  

• isotonic solution

• solvent

A solution that has a lower solute concentration than another solution. Water particles will move into the cell, causing the cell to expand and eventually lyse.

• 
  hypotonic solution

• hypertonic solution

  
  

• isotonic solution

• solvent

Movement of substances across a plasma membrane that does not require energy.

• 
  positive transport

• negative transport

  
  

• active transport

• passive transport

Movement of substances across a plasma membrane that requires energy

• 
  positive transport

• negative transport

  
  

• active transport

• passive transport

Passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water.

• 
  diffusion

• osmosis

  
  

• facilitated diffusion

• phagocytosis

The net movement of particles from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration.

• 
  diffusion

• osmosis

  
  

• facilitated diffusion

• phagocytosis

A process that takes in molecules, including water, which the cell needs from the extracellular fluid. Means "cell drinking".

• 
  diffusion

• receptor mediated

• pinocytosis

  
  

• phagocytosis

The process by which large particles, such as cells or relatively large particles, are taken in by a cell. This means "cell eating".

• 
  diffusion

• receptor mediated

• pinocytosis

  
  

• phagocytosis

A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• 
  cytokinesis

• mitosis

• pinocytosis

  
  

• phagocytosis
