Cellular Transport Test Flashcards
What is Hypotonic?
There is a LOWER concentration of solute molecules OUTSIDE than inside the cell
What does Isotonic mean?
There is the SAME concentration of solute molecules outside the cell as inside
What is the pressure inside of a plant cell caused by water pushing against the cell wall called?
Osmotic pressure
The SWELLING and BURSTING of the cells when water enters is called…
Cytolysis
What type of solution makes the cells swell and burst?
Hypotonic
What does placing the cells in a hypotonic solution cause the osmotic pressure to do?
Increase
The SHRINKING of plant cells when water leave so the cell membrane pulls away from the wall is called what?
Pinocytosis
What type of soulmate on causes plasmolysis?
Hypertonic solution

Osmosis
The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
Phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and exocytosis are all kinds of what transport
