Biology Vocabulary

Which cell process will move substances against a concentration gradient?

• Diffusion

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Osmosis

• Active Transport

How is the cell membrane important to the process of osmosis?

• It allows water to move into the cell.

• It allows all materials from the outside environments to move into the cell.

• It traps water and nutrients that would otherwise be unable to move into the cell.

• It collects nutrients from water in the outside environment and moves them into the cell.

• To control the movement of substances into and out of the cell.

• To control the movement of red blood cells.

• To all everything to move into the cell

What does semi-permeable mean?

• Type of diffusion that maintains homeostasis by moving larger molecules through the cell membrane with the help of carrier proteins/protein channels.

• Allows only certain molecules to pass through but not others; Cell membrane

• Parts of the cell that have a double membrane. Only found in Eukaryotes.

• Cellular energy made by the mitochondria

What are membrane bound organelles?
