Cellular Transport Vocabulary

The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane

• Diffusion

• Aquaporin

• Osmosis

• Homeostasis

The solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell; A net movement of water molecules out of the cell causes the cell to shrink

• Hypertonic

• Hypotonic

• Isotonic

• Facilitated Diffusion

Where a signaling molecule binds

• Aquaporin

• Diffusion

• Receptor

• Homeostasis

The process by which particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Diffusion

• Homeostasis

• Osmosis

The concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside the cell

• Hypertonic

• Hypotonic

• Isotonic

• Osmosis

The force that causes the net movement of water out of or into a cell

• Osmosis

• Homeostasis

• Receptor

• Osmotic Pressure

Water channel proteins

• Receptors

• Aquaporins

• Osmotic Pressure

• Homeostasis

The maintenance of stable internal conditions

• Homeostasis

• Osmosis

• Diffusion

• Facilitated Diffusion
