| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Osmosis | Movement of a solvent (usually water) from a low solute concentration to a high solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration of the two solutions. No energy required. |
| Diffusion | |
| Facilitated Diffusion | |
| Active Transport | |
| Endocytosis | |
| Exocytosis | |
| Hypertonic solution | Concentration (amount) of solutes OUTSIDE of the cell membrane is GREATER than inside cell; this promotes a greater flow of water outside the cell thus leading to cell shrinking. |
| Isotonic solution | Concentration (amount) of solutes is equal on both sides of the cell membrane; this allows the flow of water through the cell membrane to be equal. |
| Hypotonic solution | Concentration (amount) of solutes OUTSIDE of the cell membrane is LESS than inside the cell; this promotes a greater flow of water inside the cell thus leading to cell bursting. |
