A | B |
passive transport | molecules moving through membrane via osmosis or diffution |
active transport | molecules moving through plasma membrane often against osmosis or diffution aided by a process requiring energy |
ionic solution | concentation of solutes equal to that of the cell |
hypertonic solution | concentation of solutes greater than that of the cell |
plasmolysis | collapse of a walled cell's cytoplasm due to a lack of water |
cytolysis | rupturing of cell wall due to internal pressure |
hydropotonic solution | concentation of solutes less than that of the cell |
activation energy | energy necessary to get a chemical reaction going |
