10227136549Made of cellulose. Found in plant cells. Provides structure, support and protection for the plant cell.Cell Wall0
10227136550It controls what can come into the cell, as well as what can leave the cell. Aids in homeostasis.Plasma membrane1
10227136551Store food, water, and waste products for the plant cell.Vacuole2
10227136552The process of maintaining a stable internal environment.Homeostatsis3
10227136553Chemicals that balance pH.Buffer4
10227136554Measure of how acidic/basic something is.pH5
10227136555Moving materials into and out of the cell, while using energy. Moving from low concentration to high concentration.Active transport6
10227136556Moving materials into and out of the cell, without using energy. Moving from an area of high concentration to low concentration.Passive transport7
10227136557Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.Diffusion8
10227136558Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. A type of passive transport.Osmosis9
10227136559the process of particles, which are sometimes called solutes, moving through a solution or gas from an area with a higher number of particles to an area with a lower number of particlesConcentration gradient10
10227136560What the cell membrane is comprised ofPhospholipid bilayer11
10227140185opposite of a hypotonic solution. The water has more of a solute than the cell does. Water rushes out of the cell in order to maintain equilibrium.The cell dries out as it loses water, and it eventually dies.Hypertonic12
10227140186solution where the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside it; This causes the cell to swell with water, and if it's not stopped, it will burst!Hypotonic13
10227148320movement of water out of the cell is exactly balanced by movement of water into the cell. (equal amounts of solute and water on either side).Isotonic14
