Cellular Transport

Front

What is the term for a solution where the solute concentration inside and outside of the cell is the same?

Back

Isotonic

Front

What is the process called when water diffuses across a semipermeable membrane?

Back

Osmosis

Front

What type of transport requires a protein but no energy to move molecules down the concentration gradient?

Back

Facilitated Diffusion

Front

What type of transport does not require energy or a protein and moves molecules from high to low concentration?

Back

Passive transport

Front

What is the term for a solution that has less solute than the cell?

Back

Hypotonic

Front

What is the term for a solution that has more solute than the cell?

Back

Hypertonic

Front

What is the process called when cells take in materials by engulfing them?

Back

Endocytosis

Front

What is the process called when cells expel materials?

Back

Exocytosis

Front

What is the main difference between active transport and passive transport?

Back

Active transport requires energy, while passive transport does not.

Front

What is the role of proteins in facilitated diffusion?

Back

Proteins help transport molecules across the cell membrane without using energy.
