| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cell membrane | thin, flexible barrier. |
| cell wall | strong supporting layer around the membrane. |
| lipid bilayer | composition of nearly all cell memmbranes. |
| concentration | mass of solute in a given volume of sloution or mass/volume. |
| diffusion | particles move from more concentration to less concentration. |
| equilibrium | concentration of the solute is the same throughout a system. |
| osmosis | diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. |
| isotonic | the same strength. |
| hypertonic | above strength. |
| hypotonic | below strength. |
| facilitated diffusion | molecules that cannot diffuse across the cell membranes lipid bilayer on their own move through protein channels instead. |
| active transport | cellls moving in oppposite direction. |
| endocytosis | process of taking material into the cell. |
| phagocytosis | extensions of cytoplasm surrond a particle. |
| pinocytosis | cells take up liquid from surronding enviornment. |
| exocytosis | membrane of vacuole surronding material fuses with cell membrane. |
| cell specialization | cells develop in different ways to preform different tasks. |
| tissue | group of similar cells that preform a particular function. |
| organ | tissues that work together. |
| organ system | organs that work together to preform specific function. |
