Cell Processes Flashcards
Osmosis
Transport of water
Endocytosis
When substances are too big and must be removed from the cell so they are put in a vacuole and transferred out of the plasma membrane
Exocytosis
When the golgi packages substances into transport vesicles to fuse with the plasma membrane to release it into the external environment
Facilitated diffusion
Diffusion where carrier proteins must help the substance get through the plasma membrane because the substance has a positive charge
Diffusion
Keeping concentration solutes inside and outside of the cell equal
Passive transport
Transport that does not require energy
Active transport
Transport that requires energy
Hypertonic solution
There is a greater concentration of solutes outside the cell
Hypotonic solution
There is a greater concentration of solutes inside the cell
Isotonic solution
The concentration of solutes in and outside of the cell is equal
Endomembrane system
A group of membranes connected to each other and organelles
Types of muscular tissue
Smooth, skeletal, and cardiac
Skeletal tissue
Allows for voluntary movement
Smooth tissue
Allows for involuntary movement
What is nervous tissue made up of?
Neurons
Types of connective tissue
Adipose, bone, blood, and cartilage
What is connective tissues job?
Structural support
What does epithelial tissue make up?
Skin
