Transport Vocabulary

AB
OsmosisDiffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane, passive transport
Diffusionmovement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration, passive transport
Facilitated Diffusionmoving materials across the membrane passively with the help of transport proteins
Passive TransportMaterials moving into or out of the cell without the use of energy
Active TransportMoving materials across the membrane against the concentration gradient, requires energy
EndocytosisCell takes in material (food) by surrounding the molecules
ExocytosisCell releases material (waste, hormones) into environment by expulsion or secretion
Hypertonic SolutionConcentation is higher outside the cell than inside, water moves out and cell shrinks
Isotonic SolutionConcentration of molecules is equal both inside and outside the cell, water moves in and out equally, cell stays same size
Hypotonic SolutionConcentration of molecules is lower on the outside of cell than inside, water moves in and cell swells
