2.1 Flashcards
the movement of particles from regions of higher density to regions of lower density
diffusion
the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane
osmosis
the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell
passive transport
the movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy
active transport
the process by which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell
endocytosis
the process in which a cell release a particle by enclosing the particle in a vesicle that then moves to the cell surface and fuses with the cell membrane
exocytosis
let the cell membrane pass through this and are made up of proteins made in the cell mebrane
channels
only certain substances can pass through
semipermeable
Water is made up of particles called
molecules
