Biology (Hackenburg)- 10/15/01- Vocabulary Review

AB
homeostasismaintaining of constant internal conditions
passive transportno energy is required
diffusionmovement of particles from high concentration to a low concentration
solutionthe solute dissolved in the solution
solventwhat the solute is being disolved in
solutewhat is being disolved in the solvent
osmosisdiffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
selectivley permeablepermeable to some things; impermeable to others
hypertonic solutionhigher in solute
hypotonic solutionlower in solutes
isotonic solutionwhen equilibrium has been reached
facilitated diffusionmost molecules move across the membrane with the help of channel proteins
channel proteinsthis provides a larger opening or pore for an organic molecule to go through
active transportenergy is required
protein pumpsthis moves molecules from low to high concentration
endocytosismove very large objects into the cell
phagocytosistaking in of very large solids
pinocytosistaking in of very large liquids
exocytosisvery large objects leaving the cell
