The random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration.
What is simple diffusion?
The state at which the concentration of solute is the same throughout the solution
What is Equilibrium?
"Cell eating"
What is Phagocytosis?
This type of diffusion or passive transport requires a channel protein.
What is Facilitated diffusion?
When sugar is mixed with strawberries (what type of solution is created?)
What is a Hypertonic solution?
What is the Fluid Mosaic Model?
What happens to a cell when it is placed in a hypertonic solution.
What is shrinkage/shriveling?
The major part of the cell membrane's bilayer.
What are Phospholipids?
When water molecules pass across the plasma membrane through channel proteins called aquaporins
What is Osmosis?
The component of the plasma membrane that provides membrane stability and rigidity.
What is Cholesterol
What type of transport uses proteins to help move molecules across the plasma membrane?
What is both passive and active transport?
The part of the Phospholipid bilayer that is "water hating", or hydrophobic.
What are the hydrophobic tails?
The relatively constant internal conditions required for survival
What is HOMEOSTASIS?
Bulk Transport in and out of cells using endocytosis and exocytosis
What is Active Transport?
