A | B |
diffusion | movement of molecules from high to low concentration until equilibrium is reached |
equilibrium | dynamic state where the concentrations on either side of a cell membrane are equal, What moves in = what moves out |
osmosis | diffusion of water |
plasmolysis | cell deflates due to loss of turgor pressure |
cytolysis | cell bursts due to increase in turgor pressure |
turgor pressure | keeps cell inflated |
facilitated diffusion | moves material from high to low concentration using carrier or transport proteins |
active transport | molecules move from low to high concentration using carrier proteins and ATP's energy |
endocytosis/exocytosis | used for molecules to enter or exit the cell |
phagocytosis | white blood cells engulf and attack bacteria |
hypotonic solution | solution which has a lower concentration of solutes that the solution around it |
hypertonic solution | solution which has a higher concentration of solutes that the solution around it |
isotonic solution | solution which has an equal concentration of solutes as the solution around it. |
