| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Selectively permeable | A property of cell membrane that allows some substances to pass through while others cannot. |
| Passive transport | The movement of materials through a cell membrane without using energy. |
| Diffusion | The process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. |
| Osmosis | The diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane. |
| Active transport | The movement of materials through a cell membrane using cellular energy. |
| Explain how materials move in and out of the cell | Diffusion, osmosis, or active transport. |
| Know the different types of membrane transport and how each works | Diffusion, osmosis and active transport |
| Explain the difference between endocytosis and exocytosis | |
| Explain the difference between the facilitated diffusion and diffusion |
