passive transport | cell membrane without any input of energy |
diffusion | movement of molecules from higher to lower area of concentration |
concentration gradient | difference of concentration of molecules |
equilibrium | the same capacity of molecules |
osmosis | water diffusion |
hypotonic | term showing concentration with cytosol |
ion channels | transport higher to lower concentrations |
contractive vacuoles | organelles that remove water |
turgor pressure | the pressure water molecules exert against the cell wall |
plasmalysis | lack of water and pressure in a cell wall |
cytolysis | bursting of cells |
facilitated diffusion | molecules that cannot readily diffuse |
carrier proteins | assist cell proteins |
