What is to allow cell recognition?
The state cells & their environment reach when particles move equally in both directions (hint: homeostasis)
What is equilibrium?
The type of solution that makes a cell lose water by osmosis and shrink
What is a hypertonic solution?
The organelle responsible for modifying, concentrating, & packaging proteins and lipids
