Life Science: Cellular transport vocabulary 2009-2010
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The diffusion of water (H2O) through the cell membrane | Osmosis |
| The random movement of molecules from a high concentration gradient to a low concentration gradient | Diffusion |
| Cellular transport that DOES NOT require energy to occur. (AKA:Lazy Transport) | Passive Transport |
| Takes place when energy is needed to move substances through a cell membrane; sometimes a vesicle will form or transport protiens are utilized. | Active Transport |
| The number of molecules in two areas are the same. | Equilibrium |
| The process of taking substances INTO a cell by surrounding them with the cell's membrane | Endocytosis |
| The process in which the contents of a vesicle are moved outside of the cell. | Exocytosis |
