Chapter 9 Cells
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Passive Transport | When materials go in and out of the cell WITHOUT using energy. |
| 2 types of passive transport: | 1. Diffusion: The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. 2. Osmosis: The movement of WATER molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. |
| Selectively permeable | means some substances can cross the membrane while others cannot. |
| Active transport | When materials go in and out of the cell using energy. |
| Moving Large Particles | 1. Endocytosis: The cell changes shape and engulfs the particle. 2. Exocytosis: The reverse process, which allows large particles to exit the cell. |
