AB
hypotonic solutionwater moves into a cell placed in this solution
hypertonic solutionwater moves out of a cell placed in this solution
fluid mosaic modelpolar layers on the outside and a nonpolar layer on the inside
selectively permeableallows passage of some molecules through a membrane faster than others
active transportmovement of particles across a membrane requires energy
concentration gradientequilibrium of molecules on both sides of a membrane
lipid bilayermakes up the plasma membrane
Brownian motionrandom motion of molecules
plasma membranestructure most responsible for maintaining cell homeostasis
facilitated diffusionpassive transport of material across a membrane by means of transport proteins
endocytosisprocess by which a cell membrane surrounds and take in material from the environment
passive transportmovement of particles across a membrane does not require energy
