Bio SOL Review 16 - Cell Transport Test

Front

Facilitated Diffusion

Back

The passive transport of ions and small molecules across the cell membrane using transport proteins.

Front

Passive Transport

Back

The diffusion of water and other substances across the cell membrane from high concentration to low concentration without requiring energy.

Front

Hypotonic Solution

Back

A solution that allows water to enter the plant cell, causing it to swell.

Front

Equilibrium

Back

The state reached when diffusion in cells stops, as the concentration of substances becomes equal on both sides of the membrane.

Front

Homeostasis

Back

The state of relatively constant internal physical and chemical conditions maintained by an organism despite changes in internal and external environments.

Front

Active Transport

Back

The movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, requiring energy.

Front

Osmosis

Back

The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

Front

Isotonic Solution

Back

A solution where the concentration of solutes is equal inside and outside the cell, resulting in no net movement of water.

Front

Selective Permeability

Back

The property of a cell membrane that allows certain molecules to pass through while blocking others.

Front

Diffusion

Back

The process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
