Cell Transport Flashcards
1
Q
Selectively Permeable
A
this means that the cell membrane will let some things in and out, but not others
2
Q
Passive Transport
A
when items move across the cell membrane WITHOUT the cell using energy
3
Q
Diffusion
A
when particles move from an area of high concentration to low concentration
4
Q
Equilibrium
A
when there is an equal number of particles on both sides of the membrane
5
Q
Osmosis
A
diffusion of water molecules into or out of a cell
6
Q
Facilitated Diffusion
A
when a protein in the membrane is needed to move a particle into or out of the cell from high to low concentration
