|---|---|
| what is the plasma membrane? | selectively permeable barrier separating ICF and ECF |
| What does selectively permeable mean? | Allows certain substances to pass through while blocking others |
| what type of transport requires energy? | Active transport |
| what type doesn't require energy? | Passive transport |
| 3 types of passive transport? | simple diffusion facilitated diffusion osmosis |
| what crosses the plasma membrane in osmosis? | Water (solvent) |
| what is hypotonic solution? | has a lower solute concentration than the inside of the cell, causing water to move into the cell |
| what is endocytosis solution? | Transporting particles into the cell |
| what is hypertonic solution? | has a higher solute concentration than inside the cell, causing water to move out of the cell |
| what is exocytosis? | transporting particles out of the cell |
| what is transcytosis? | transporting particles into, across, and then out of the cell. |
