Transport across a cell membrane

AB
diffusionmovement of molecules from high to low concentration until equilibrium is reached
equilibriumdynamic state where the concentrations on either side of a cell membrane are equal, What moves in = what moves out
osmosisdiffusion of water
plasmolysiscell deflates due to loss of turgor pressure
cytolysiscell bursts due to increase in turgor pressure
turgor pressurekeeps cell inflated
facilitated diffusionmoves material from high to low concentration using carrier or transport proteins
active transportmolecules move from low to high concentration using carrier proteins and ATP's energy
endocytosis/exocytosisused for molecules to enter or exit the cell
phagocytosiswhite blood cells engulf and attack bacteria
hypotonic solutionsolution which has a lower concentration of solutes that the solution around it
hypertonic solutionsolution which has a higher concentration of solutes that the solution around it
isotonic solutionsolution which has an equal concentration of solutes as the solution around it.
