10227136554 | Measure of how acidic/basic something is. | pH | ![]() | 5 |
10227136555 | Moving materials into and out of the cell, while using energy. Moving from low concentration to high concentration. | Active transport | ![]() | 6 |
10227136556 | Moving materials into and out of the cell, without using energy. Moving from an area of high concentration to low concentration. | Passive transport | 7 | |
10227136557 | Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. | Diffusion | ![]() | 8 |
10227136558 | Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. A type of passive transport. | Osmosis | ![]() | 9 |
10227136559 | the 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 particles | Concentration gradient | 10 | |
10227136560 | What the cell membrane is comprised of | Phospholipid bilayer | ![]() | 11 |
10227140185 | opposite 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. | Hypertonic | ![]() | 12 |
10227140186 | solution 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! | Hypotonic | ![]() | 13 |
10227148320 | movement 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). | Isotonic | ![]() | 14 |
