Cell Parts Transport
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Active | type of transport that requires energy |
| Hypotonic | when a solution has less concentration of solutes |
| Passive | type of transport that does not require energy |
| Endo | prefix meaning “inside” |
| Diffusion | movement of molecules from high to low concentration |
| Water | a molecule composed of two hydrogen and one oxygen |
| Isotonic | a solution that has equal amount of solutes |
| Permeable | membranes that let some things through, called selectively _____ |
| Homeostasis | the maintaining of internal balance |
| Gradient | a difference in concentration creates a concentration _____ |
| DynamicEquilibrium | condition achieved when molecules are evenly spaced in an area and still moving |
| Hypertonic | when a solution has a greater concentration of solutes |
| Endocytosis | engulfing of large particles into the cell |
| Exo | prefix meaning “outside” |
| Osmosis | diffusion of water across a membrane |
| ChannelProtein | helps move things across the membrane |
