Cell Transport Flashcards
What is diffusion
Movement of a substance into or out of a cell based on the concentration differences of the substance.
what is osmosis
Movement of only water from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
what is equilibrium
A state in which opposing forces or actions are balanced so that one is not stronger or greater than the other. Supply and demand were in equilibrium.
Semi Permeable
It decides what passes through it.
Isotonic
Solutions that contain the same concentration of water and solutes as the cell.
Hypotonic
Solutions that contains more solute outside of the cell so water is attracted out.
Hypertonic
Solutions that contains more solute inside of the cell so water is attracted into the cell.
High/Low Concentration
Solution which contain more solute is highly concentrated solution while less solute,low concentration.
Endocytosis
The cell moves a large amount of material into its cytoplasm from the outside environment.
Exocytosis
The process by which large amounts of waste material is removed from the cytoplasm by the vesicle fusing with the cell membrane releasing what is inside of the vesicle.
