Biology

Movement of anything from an area of high concentration to low concentration.

• Diffusion
• Hypotonic
• Isotonic
• Passive Transport

A solution that contains more dissolved substances than the cell it surrounds.  Water leaves the cell. Cell shrinks.

• Exocytosis
• Osmosis
• Hypertonic
• Passive transport

Movement of particles into the cell that does not require energy.  From low to high.

• Facilitated Diffusion
• Osmosis
• Isotonic
• Active transport

Movement of water from an area of high concentration to low concentration.  Diffusion of water.

• Exocytosis
• Osmosis
• Hypotonic
• Isotonic

Movement of particles into a cell that does not require energy.  From high to low.

• Passive transport
• Hypotonic
• Isotonic
• Endocytosis

Process by which very large particles are brought into the cell by the formation of vacuoles.

• Isotonic
• Hypotonic
• Exocytosis
• Endocytosis

Solution that contains the same amount of dissolved substances as the cell it surrounds.  No water movement. Shape stays the same.

• Hypotonic
• Isotonic
• Diffusion
• Endocytosis

Movement of very large particles out of the cell through the binding of vacuoles to the plasma membrane.

• Diffusion
• Passive transport
• Active transport
• Exocytosis

Solution that contains less dissolved substances than the cell it surrounds.  Water enters the cell. Cell swells up.

• Exocytosis
• Isotonic
• Hypotonic
• Active transport

Movement of particles from high to low through a transport protein.  Form of passive transport.
