This term describes the "unbalanced" nature of a water molecule, where the Oxygen side is slightly negative and the Hydrogen side is slightly positive.
What is Polarity?
This term describes the evaporation of water through the stomata, which creates the "pull" needed for xylem transport.
What is transpiration?
These specific membrane proteins act like "tunnels," allowing large or charged molecules to bypass the hydrophobic tails.
What are protein channels (or transport proteins)?
This describes the specific "clumping" or surface tension behavior of water caused solely by the attraction between its own molecules.
What is cohesion?
When a molecule like glucose enters a cell from high to low concentration via a protein channel, it is called this specific type of transport.
What is facilitated diffusion?
