4925991295OsmosisThe diffusion of water across a membrane9
4994176655Hypertonic & HypotonicSolutions that will cause osmosis10
4925991296CrenateShrinking of cell11
4925991297Hypertonic solutionCauses a cell to crenate12
4925991298CytolysisSwelling of a cell13
4925991299Hypotonic solutionCauses a cell to swell14
4925991300Peripheral ProteinsOn the surface of a plasma membrane15
4925991301Integral proteinsFound IN the membrane and create channels16
4925991302facilitated diffusionUse of an integral protein to move a molecule from a high concentration to a low concentration across a membrane with out energy (ex. Glucose)17
4925991303active transportuses cell energy (ATP) to pull molecules from low to high concentration18
4925991304resting membrane potentialextracellular positive charge while muscle and nerve cell are resting19
4925991305depolarizedextracellular negative charge while muscle and nerve cells are 'working'20
4925991306bulk transportneeds energy (ATP) and is used for substances that are too large to pass through the lipid bilayer or a protein channel21
4925991307cystic fibrosisan inherited disease which forms abnormal Cl- Pumps22

4925991309phagocytosiscell eating25
4925991310pinocytosiscell takes in liquid26
4925991311exocytosisopposite of endocytosis and secretes substances out of the cell27
