Front

The movement of materials that does NOT require energy is called...

Back

Passive transport.

Front

What are the two types of cell transport?

Back

Passive and Active.

Front

Which describes a hypotonic environment?

Back

Too much water in the cell will cause the cell to burst - the percentage of water is higher outside the cell than inside the cell.

Front

What is the primary function of the cell membrane?

Back

To regulate what enters and leaves the cell.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

The diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane.

Front

What is active transport?

Back

The movement of materials against a concentration gradient, requiring energy.

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

The process of passive transport of molecules across a cell membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.

Front

What is a hypertonic solution?

Back

A solution with a higher concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
