Vocabulary

AB
Active Transportprocess reguiring energy by which cells move materials against a concentration gradient
Contractile Vacuoleorganelle taht collects excess water from the cell then contractsd and expells the water through a plasma mem. pore
DiffusionThe net movement of particles from higher to lower concentration
Dynamic Equilibriumcondition in which there ic continous movement but no overall change
Endocytosisa process in which a cell surrounds and takes in material from its movement
Exocytosisexpels wastes, such as indigestable bits, from the interior to the exterior environment
Facilitated Duffusionthe passive transport of materials across the plasma membrane by means of transport proteins
Fluid Mosaic Modelproperty of plasma mem. where in many similar molecules are free to move sidwways within their lipid bilayer
Hypertonic SolutionHigher concentration of a solute
Hypotonic SolutionLower concentration of a solute
Isotonic Solutionsolution in which the dissolved substances is the same as the concentration inside the cell
Osmosis diffusion of water
Passive Transportmovement of particles that does not require energy
Phosphlipid membrane lipid has a small organic section attached to a phosphate group
plasmolysisloss of water resulting in the drop of turgor pressure
selective permeabilityplasma membrane chooses what goes in and out
transport proteinsallow needed substances or waste materials to pass through the plasma mem.
turgor pressureinternal pressure found in plant cells
