2.1 Flashcards
The movement of particles from regions of higher density to lower density to regions of lower density
Diffusion
The diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane
Osmosis
Particles that help make up water
Molecules
Only certain substances can pass through
Semipermable
Small particles pass the cell membrane through passageways called
Channels
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 particles into the cell
Endocytosis
The process in which a cell releases a particle by enclosing the particle in a vesicle that then moves to the cell surface and fuses with the cell membrane
Exocytosis
