What is exocytosis?

Back

The process by which cells expel substances by vesicles fusing with the membrane.

Front

What is a semipermeable membrane?

Back

A membrane that allows certain molecules to pass through while blocking others.

Front

What is equilibrium in the context of diffusion?

Back

A state where the concentration of molecules is equal on both sides of a membrane.
