Cell Function
A natural phenomenon caused by the tendency of small particles to spread out evenly within any given space. | Diffusion |
Passive transport of water through a selectively permeable membrane in the presence of at least on impermeant solute | Osmosis |
An example of sodium ions into nerves cells during a nerve impulse is refers to which for of passive transport process | Channel-mediated passive (facilitated diffusion) |
An example of diffusion of glucose molecules into most cells | Carrier-mediated passive transport (facilitated diffusion) |
The movement of water through a semipermeable membrane is called | Osmosis |
Transports sodium ions out of cells and potassium into cells. | Sodium - postassium pump |
The plasma membrane “traps” some extra cellular material and brings it into the cell | Endocytosis |
Microorganisms or other large particles are engulfed by the plasma membrane and enter the cell in vesicles that have pinched off from the membrane is called | Phagocytosis |
Which process is being referred in this statement “ condition of the cell drinking”? | Pinocytosis |
Movement of proteins or other cell products out of the cell by fusing a secretory vesicle with the plasma membrane | Exocytosis |
