Diffusion   passive transport where a solute travels from an area of higher concentration to an area of lesser concentration with the gradient.  
🗑
Osmosis   passive transport where water (solvent) travels thru a selectively permeable membrane when a concentration gradient is present.  
🗑
Facilitated Diffusion   Carrier-mediated passive transport is a variation of diffusion in which a carrier molecule helps a substance move across the membrane  
🗑
Filtration   pressure is applied to force water and its dissolved materials across a membrane.  
🗑
Active Transport (3 types)   1. Active Transport Pumps 2. Endocytosis 3. Exocytosis  
🗑
Pinocytosis   liquid brining liquid is brought inside the cell using ATP.  
🗑
Active Transport Pumps   require ATP energy to move substances against the concentration gradient  
🗑
Cell Membrane   surrounds the cytoplasm and provides a protective covering.  
🗑
Chromatin   material found in the nucleus that contains the DNA.  
🗑
Mitochondria   power houses of the cell  
🗑

🗑
Mitosis, Malignant Tumors   grow rapidly and invade, health cell tissue.  
🗑
Mitosis, Metastasis   parts break off and travel thru the blood or lymph system and start tumors in other parts of the body.  
🗑
Viruses   infectious particles that have a core containing genetic material surrounded by a protective protein coat called a capsid.  
🗑
