passive transportmovement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell
active transportmovement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy
exocytosisprocess by which a cell releases particles
endocytosisprocess by which a cell encloses a particle and moves it inside the cell
examples of active transportendocytosis and exocytosis
example of passive transportdiffusion
hypertonicsolution contains more solute than the cell
hypotonicsolution outside the cell contains a low amount of solute compared to the inside of the cell
isotonicsolute amounts are equal both inside and outside the cell
