Term
Definition
cell theory   the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell  
🗑
diffusion   the movement of particles from regions of higher density to regions of lower density  
🗑
concentration gradient   a difference in the concentration of a substance across a distance  
🗑
osmosis   the diffusion of water or another solvent from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a membrane that is permeable to the solvent  
🗑
isotonic   solution that has an equal concentration of dissolved particles compared with another solution  
🗑
hypertonic   describes a solution whose solute concentration inside a cell  
🗑
hypotonic   describes a solution whose solute concentration inside a cell  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   the transport of substances through a cell membrane along a concentration gradient with the aid of carrier proteins  
🗑
active transport   the movement of chemical substances, usually across the cell membrane, against a concentration gradient; requires cells to use energy  
🗑
endocytosis   the process by which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell  
🗑
phagocytosis   uptake of a solid particle into a cell by engulfing the particle  
🗑
exocytosis   the process by which a substance is released from the cell through a vesicle that transports the substance to the cell surface and then fuses with the membrane to let the substance

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.
