        Help!  

Term
Definition
Active transport   A form of transport that requires energy as it moves particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration  
🗑
Passive transport   A form of transport that does not require energy as it moves particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration  
🗑
Diffusion   The movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration  
🗑
Facilitated diffusion   The movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a protein channel in the plasma membrane  
🗑
Osmosis   The net movement of water from an area of high concentration of water to an area of low concentration of water across a semi-permeable membrane  
🗑
Hypertonic   A solution which has a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution  
🗑
Hypotonic   A solution which has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution  
🗑
Isotonic   A solution which has the same concentration of solutes as another solution  
🗑
Phagocytosis   A process where a cell takes in large particles by wrapping its plasma membrane around them  
🗑
Pinocytosis   A process where a cell takes in fluid by pinching off a section of the plasma membrane  
🗑
Exocytosis   A process where a vacuole fuses to the plasma membrane in order to release bulk materials from the cell  
🗑
Endocytosis   A process where a vacuole is formed from the plasma membrane in order to take bulk materials into the cell  
🗑
Carrier proteins   Proteins that use energy to transport specific substances across the plasma membrane  
🗑
Selectively permeable   A membrane that allows some substances to pass through, but not others  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
