New cards

Exocytosis

release of wastes or cell products from inside to outside a cell

2
New cards

dynamic equilibrium

continuous movement of particles but no overall change in concentration

3
New cards

Diffusion

the natural movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

PASSIVE TRANSPORT

4
New cards

endocytosis

entrance of large food particles into the cell by wrapping the particle in a membrane-bound vesicle.

5
New cards

ATP

energy

6
New cards

facilitated diffusion

transport of large molecules from high to low concentration with the help of a transport protein

facilitated diffusion

18
New cards

Facilliated diffusion ____ requires energy in the form of ATP

does not require energy in the form of ATP

19
New cards

The process of diffusion _______ require energy

does not

20
New cards

Diffusion does not require energy because ---

The dye molecules move from high concentration to low concentration.

21
New cards

Overwatering cells creates a ________ enviroment for plant cells

hypotonic

22
New cards

A hypotonic enviroment causes water to rush INTO plant cells through ______

Osmosis

23
New cards

Water rushing into cells through osmosis causes the plant cells to become _____ through tugor pressure

swollen

24
New cards

Under watering cells causes a ______ enviroment for plant cells.

Hypertonic

25
New cards

A hypertonic enviroment for plant cells causes water to rush _________.

out of the vacuole

26
New cards

In a hypertonic environment, when water rushes out of the vacuole, the plant cells become _____ due to decreased turgor pressure.

shrunken

27
New cards

An amoeba engulfs (takes in) a particle of food through the process of _____

endocytosis

28
New cards

Endocytosis is a form of ______________ and requires energy to create a membrane bound vesicle for transport

active transport

29
New cards

An amoeba expels (gets rid of) waste through the process of _____

exocytosis

30
New cards

Exocytosis is a form of ________ and requires energy to create a membrane bound vesiccle for transport

active transport

31
New cards

When a blood cell (70% water) is placed in a beacker of distilled water (100% water), it creates a ______ enviroment for the blood cell.

water will move ____________ through the process of _____ which ________

if the pressure within the cell were to become great _____ will ocur.

hypotonic

from the beaker to the blood

osmosis

does not require energy

plasmolysis

32
New cards

Osmosis

The movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration (low solute) to an area of low water concentration (higher solute)

PASSIVE TRANSPORT

33
New cards

Active transport

Moves molecules across a cell membrane from low concentration to high concentration (against the concentration gradient), requiring cellular energy like ATP and transport proteins
