Q

Hypertonic

A

More solute outside the cell. Water moves out of the cell and it shrivels and dies.

17
Q

Hypotonic

A

More solute in the cell. Water goes into the cell and it swells and bursts.

18
Q

Endocytosis

A

Traps stuff and brings stuff in. (Active transport)

19
Q

Exocytosis

A

Releasing stuff outside (active transport)

20
Q

Facilitated diffusion

A

Like diffusion but a helper protein is needed.
