Cell Membrane
The organelle that controls what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The type of transport that does not require energy.
What is passive transport?
The type of transport that requires energy to enter a cell.
What is active transport?
The name for the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
The description of what happens to a cell in a hypotonic solution.

What is lipids?
The movement of molecules in passive transport moves from an area of ______ concentration to ________ concentration.
What is high to low?
The proper scientific name for energy.
What is ATP?
The type of osmotic solution in which the outside of the cell has a higher solute concentration than the inside of the cell.
What is hypertonic?
The description of what happens to a cell in an isotonic solution.
What is stays the same?

The term used to describe the state of balance in a solution.
What is equilibrium?
The 2 parts of the lipid that contributes to its structure.
What is head and tail?
Type of passive transport that requires the use of a channel protein to move molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
What is facilitated diffusion?
The way molecules move in active transport based on the concentration gradient. (Hint: against or with)
What is against?
The type of osmotic solution in which there is an equal number of solute concentration inside and outside of the cell.
What is isotonic?
The internal desire of an organism to keep a maintain a state of normality.
