Diffusion & Osmosis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Osmosis | From less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one |
| Diffusion | Moves particles like oxygen into the cells |
| Concentration | Amount of substance in a certain area |
| Selectively Preamble Membrane | Allows some substances through |
| Active Transport | Transport of substances across the cell membrane from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration requiring the cell to use energy |
| Transport Proteins | Creates a selectively permeable membrane that regulates which molecules enter and leave the cell |
| Concentration Gradient | A difference in the concentration of a substance across a distance |
| Passive Transport | The movement of substances across a cell membrane with the use of energy by a cell |
| active transport | Movement of chemical substance across the cell membrane using energy |
| vesicle | Forms when part of the cell membrane surrounds the materials to be taken into cell or transported |
| exocytosis | Contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane |
