The cell in action!

how things get in and out of the cell

QuestionAnswer
diffusion the movement of paricles from an area of where the concentration is low to where the concentration is high to an area where their concentration is low
osmosis the diffusion of water through the cell membrane
passive transport the diffusion of particles through the proteins of the cell membrane from areas of high concentration to an areas of low concentration
active transport the movement of particles through the proteins of the cell membrane against the normal direction of diffusion( from low concentration to high concentration) this process requires the cell to use energy
endocytosis the process of bringing large particles into the cell by surrounding the cell membrane around a particle and enclosing it in a vesicle
exocytosis the process of removing large particles out of the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum surrounds its membrane around a particle, which then travels to the cell membrane for removel.
What lets in small particles into the cell? passive transport and active transport
What lets in big particles into the cell? endocytosis & exocytosis
What lets water and oxygen into the cell? diffusion & osmosis
What ways to let materials into the cell uses energy? active transport, endocytosis, & exocytosis

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
