The movement of water molecules across a cell membrane is called ___.osmosis
In a salt water solution, the salt is known as the ___.solute
If a cell membrane allows glucose to pass through it, then the cell membrane is said to be ____ to glucose.permeable, Audio
In a salt water solution, the water is known as the ____.solvent
The movement of particles across a cell membrane from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration is known as ____.diffusion,
The cell membrane is said to be _______ permeable to substances because it lets some pass through but not others.selectively
The composition of nearly all cell membranes is a double-layered sheet called a __________lipid bilayer
Larger molecules and charged particles usually pass through _____ to get into cells.protein channels
Cells will shrink if placed into a _____ solution.hypertonic
When energy is needed to force molecules across a cell membrane, _______ is taking place.active transport,
Cells will grow bigger if placed in a ____ solution.hypotonic
A solution that has the same concentration of solutes as the interior of a cell is known to be ____.isotonic
Active transport requires _____.energy
If a substance is diffusing across a cell membrane, it is going from an area of ____ concentration to an area of ___ concentration.high, low
When osmotic pressure increases in plants, the ______ gets bigger and the plant ___.central vacuole, gets turgid (stiff)
The process pictured below is called ____., exocytosis, , Audio
The process pictured below is called ____., endocytosis, , Audio
In comparing two solutions, the one with the greater solute concentration is called the _____ solution.hypertonic
_______ transport involves the diffusion of a substance across a biological membrane.Passive transport
Passive transport involves the ______ of a substance across a biological membrane.diffusion
The cellular secretion of macromolecules by the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane.exocytosis,
_______ involves the movement of a substance across a biological membrane against its concentration or electrochemical gradient with the help of energy input and specific transport proteins.Active transport,
A property of biological membranes that allows some substances to cross more easily than others is called _____.selective permeability
In comparing two solutions, the one with the lower solute concentration is called the _____ solution.hypotonic
_______ diffusion is the spontaneous passage of molecules and ions, bound to specific carrier proteins, across a biological membrane down their concentration gradients.Facilitated diffusion,
The picture below is showing _____., active transport,
Which process is shown below?, Simple diffusion,
Which process is shown below?, facilitated diffusion (It's diffusion because the particles are travelling down the concentration gradient. It's facilitated because a channel protein is helping),
What type of solution was the cell on the left exposed to?, hypotonic,
What type of solution was the cell on the middle exposed to?, isotonic,
What type of solution was the cell on the right exposed to?, hypertonic,
