Cell Transport Vocabulary

The cell membrane is selectively permeable, which means

• All materials can enter and leave the cell.

• The cell manually sorts through all materials.

• Certain things can enter the cell while others cannot.

• Only certain cells can interact with the cell.

Which type of cellular transport moves from low concentrations to high?

• Active Transport

• Osmosis

• Passive Transport

• Facilitated Diffusion

Cell transport in which waste or hormones are released through the cell membrane using energy.

• Endocytosis

• Sodium Potassium Pump

• Passive Transport

• Exocytosis

The sodium potassium pump moves sodium and potassium

• in the same direction from a low concentration to high.

• in opposite directions from an low concentration to high.

• together from a high concentration to low.

• outside the cell.

Large molecules such as glucose move across the cell membrane through protein channels, without the use of energy, during

• active transport

• osmosis

• facilitated diffusion

• bulk transport

Diffusion of water across a cell membrane.

• Osmosis

• Active Transport

• Protein Channel

• Pinocytosis

Engulfing a large substance and moving it inside the cell using energy

• endocytosis

• photosynthesis

• exocytosis

• diffusion

The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration without using energy

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Active Transport

• Exocytosis

• Passive Transport

The state of maintaining a relatively stable internal balance

• homeostasis

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• semipermeable
