Cell Transport Vocab

Processes such as endocytosis and exocytosis that require some of the cell’s energy

• Active Transport

• Hypotonic

• Selectively Permeable

• Passive Transport

The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Osmosis

• Diffusion

• Active Trasnport

Process used by a cell to take in a large particle

• Hypertonic

• Endocytosis

• Exocytosis

• Diffusion

Process used by a cell to release materials out of the cell

• Homeostasis

• Endocytosis

• Passive Transport

• Exocytosis

The diffusion of molecules across a membrane through special proteins in the membrane

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Active Transport

• Exocytosis

• Protein Pumps

Having a higher solute concentration outside the cell, causing the cell to shrink

• Isotonic

• Hypotonic

• Hypertonic

• Homeostasis

Having a higher solute concentration inside the cell, causing the cell to swell

• Isotonic

• Hypotonic

• Hypertonic

• Cell Membrane

Having equal solute concentrations inside and outside the cell

• Isotonic

• Hypotonic

• Hypertonic

• Isotonic

The movement of water across a membrane

• Exocytosis

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Diffusion

• Osmosis

The two layers of phospholipid molecules arranged tail to tail that help to make up cell membranes

• Phospholipid Bilyaer

• Plasma Membrane

• Phospholipid Monolayer

• Selectively Permeable
