18
Q

Fluid mosaic pattern

A

Diagram of the cell membrane

Shows the protein and lipid particles

19
Q

Diffusion

A

Molecules move high to concentration to low concentration until equally distributed

20
Q

Osmosis

A

The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is osmosis. Requires no energy

21
Q

Active transport

A

Moving from low to high concentration gradient

22
Q

Endocytosis

A

Molecules moving from outside to inside the cell with the cell creating a vacuole

23
Q

Phagocytosis

A

When molecules that are taken are huge

24
Q

Exocytosis

A

Vacuole fuse with membrane and contents are deposited outside the cell

25
Q

Hypertonic Solution

A

The cell has a lower concentration of a solute therefore water travels from the cell to the solution

26
Q

Hypotonic

A

Water enters the cell to balance the levels of solute

27
Q

Isotonic solution

A

Equal amount of solute inside and outside the cell
