movement of a substance by a vesicle to the outside of a cell
Back
concentration gradient
Front
difference in the concentration of a substance from one location to another
Back
cell theory
Front
1. all living things are composed of one or more cells
2. cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things
3. new cells are produced from existing cells
4. they contain hereditary material
Back
molecular transport
Front
small proteins or ions that are carried through protein channels that act as 'pumps', uses ATP
Back
Endocytosis
Front
the movement of a substance into a cell by a vesicle
Back
Hypertonic Osmosis
Front
When water moves out of a cell, so then the cell gets smaller and shrivels up.
Back
facilitated diffusion
Front
Movement of specific molecules across cell membranes through protein channels
Back
passive transport
Front
the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy
Back
active transport
Front
the movement of materials through a cell membrane using energy
Back
Diffusion
Front
Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Front
Larger, complex, with nucleus, membrane bound organelles, plant and animal
Back
nucleus of eukaryotic cell
Front
has DNA
Back
Hypotonic Osmosis
Front
When water moves into a cell, so it gets bigger and fills up.

Front
1. Membranes are fluid and flexible
2. Membranes can self-repair
3. Membrane protein perform special functions
4. Many bacteria cells reproduce through binary fission
