Diffusion
The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration directly through the lipid bilayer.
Diffusion
Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration directly through the lipid bilayer.
Osmosis
Diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration
Endocytosis
The process by which cells intake materials by engulfing them with the plasma membrane to form vesicles
Phagocytosis
This a type of endocytosis where cells engulf= eat= large particles or cells, forming phagosomes.
-
Facilitated Diffusion
The movement of molecules across the membrane via specific transport proteins without energy expenditure
-
Carrier Protein
Proteins that bind to specific molecules and undergo conformational changes to transport them across the membrane.
Isotoctic
The Solution where the concentration of solutes is equal inside and outside the cell, resulting in no net movement of water.
Vesicles
Membrane-bound sacs used in processes like exocytosis and endocytosis to transport materials into and out of the cell.
Hypotonic
A solution where the concentration of solutes is lower outside the cell than inside, leading to water entering the cell.
Hypotonic
This solution where the concentration of solutes is lower outside the cell than inside, leading to water entering the cell.
Hypertonic
The solution where the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell than inside, causing water to leave the cell.
