When materials are taken into the cell it is called

• endocytosis

• exocytosis

• absorption

• cytosis

When materials are released from the cell it is called

• endocytosis

• exocytosis

• cellular release

• cytosis

The cell membrane is referred to as selectively permeable, which means

• the cell "chooses" what material can go into/out of the cell

• the cell allows all materials into/out of the cell

• the cell prohibits any material from entering/exiting the cell

• the cell is protected

If a cell is in a solution and water leaves the cell, making it shrivel, the solution is

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic

If a cell is in a solution and water enters the cell, making the cell swell, the solution is

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic

If a cell is in a solution that causes no change in the shape or weight of the cell, the solution is

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic

The movement of molecules through the cell membrane with the help of a carrier or channel protein is called

• diffusion

• endocytosis

• facilitated diffusion

• osmosis
