Biology Flashcards

Front

osmosis

Back

the diffusion of water

Front

simple diffusion

Back

movement of a solute from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the use of a transport protein

Front

passive transport

Back

movement of molecules without energy; high to low movement

Front

active transport

Back

movement of molecules using energy; low to high movement

Front

endocytosis

Back

mode of active transport moving molecules into the cell

Front

exocytosis

Back

mode of active transport moving molecules out of the cell

Front

facilitated diffusion

Back

mode of passive transport that uses a transport protein to move larger molecules

Front

hypertonic solution

Back

water concentration greater on the inside of cell; cell shrinks

Front

isotonic solution

Back

water concentration equal on inside and outside of cell

Front

hypotonic solution

Back

water concentration greater on the outside of cell; cell swells
