16
Q

Hypotonic solution

A

less solute concentration outside the cell
- water will move into the cell

17
Q

hypertonic solution

A

more solute concentration outside the cell
- Water will move out of the cell

18
Q

Osmotic pressure

A

what causes cells or shrink or burst

19
Q

Passive transport

A

No additional energy needed
- Molecules will always move from high to low concentration

20
Q

active transport

A

additional ATP energy needed
- Molecules always move from low to high concentration

21
Q

Carrier proteins

A

changes it shape to bind to a molecule to move that molecule across the membrane

22
Q

Exocytosis

A

Moves large molecule out of cell, the vacuole will fuse with the cell membrane

23
Q

Endocytosis

A

moves large molecules into the cell, vacuole will from around the molecule
