AB
OsmosisThe movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a semipermeable membrane
Semipermeablethe ability of the cell membrane to monitor what materials come into the cell and what materials leave the cell
CirculationThe movement of materials within a cell or between parts of an organism
Concentration GradientThe difference in concentration between a region of great concentration and a region of lesser concentration
XylemA tissue that carries water and minerals up the root to the stem and leaves.
PhloemTissue that carries dissolved food manufactured in the leaves down through the stem and roots
CapillariesMicroscopic blood vessels in cells that exchange materials between the blood and the body cells
HemoglobinRed pigment that allows the blood to carry more oxygen
Open circulatory systemsystem where the blood is not always contained in vessels but flows openly through the body
Closed circulatory systemBlood is always contained in specific blood vessels unless one is broken or punctured
