Word Definition Factors Substances
Crenateto shrink in size  
Hemolysisprocess of a blood cell rupturing in hypotonic solution  
Tonicityeffect of solutions on cell  
Passive Transportno energy needed  
Active Transportenergy needed  
Brownian Movementmotion that causes them to bump into adjacent molecules  
Kinetic Energysupplied by Brownian movement needed for passive transport mechanisms  
Concentraction Gradientunequally distributed this will exist and one region will have a greater concentration of the substance than other regions  
Quilibriumsubstance will diffuse until an equal distribution occurs  
Solutionresult of dissolving a solute  
Soluteex. salt  
Solventex. water  
Osmotic Pressuregreater the solute concentration the greater the osmotic pressure f the solution  
Reverse Osmosisa process in which the pressure applied to arm b is greater than the osmotic pressure  
Dialysispassive process similar to osmosis except that, besides water, small solute particles can pass through a selectively permeable membrane  
Kidney dialysisremove wastes from the blood of the patient whose kidneys are not functioning properly  
Isontonicsolution has the same solute concentraations as a cell  
Hypertonicsolution containing more solute (and therefore less solvent) than a cell; cell crenate  
Isontonicsolution has the same solute concentraations as a cell  
Hypertonicsolution containing more solute (and therefore less solvent) than a cell; cell crenate  
Pinocytosiscell invaginates a small area of the cell membrane and traps not the large particles of phagocytois by rather small particles and fluid  
Exocytosisactive transport of materials out of the cell  
Diffusionmolecular movement of solutes direction determined by relative concentrationssize of gradient, size of molecules, change, lipid solubility temp.small inorganic ions, lipid soluble materials
Osmosismovement of water moleculesconcenttration gradient, opposing osmotic of hydrostatic pressurewater only (all cells)
Filtrationmovement of water, usually with solute, by hydrostatic pressure requires filtration membraneamunt of pressure, size of pores in filterwater and small ions (blood vessels)
Facilitated diffusioncarrier proteins passively transport solutes across a membrane down a concentration gradientsize of gradient, temp., availability of carrier proteinglucose and amino acids
Active Transportcarrier proteins actively transport solutes across a membrane regardles of any concentration gradientsavailability of carrier, substrate, and ATPNA+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+
Secondary Active Transportcarrier proteins passively transport two solutes, with one moving down its concentration gradientavailability of carrier,substrates, and ATPglucose and amino acids
Endocytosiscreation of membranous vesicles containing fluid or solid materialstimulus and mechanics incompletely understood, requires ATPfluids, nutrients, debris, pathogens
Exocytosisfusion of vesicles, containing fluids and/or solids within the cell membranestimulus and mechanics incompletly understood, requires ATPfluids, debris
Hypotonicsolution containing less solute than a cell; cells lyse  
Phagocytosismovement of large particles into the cell
