through	Concentration (amount) of solutes is equal on both sides of the cell membrane; this allows the flow of water _____ the cell membrane to be equal.	1	1	true
Facilitated Diffusion	Definition: Movement of specific molecules down a concentration gradient (from high concentration to low concentration) passing through the membrane via a specific carrier protein. No energy required.	2	0	false
substance	Movement of a _____ across a cell membrane against its concentration gradient from lower concentration to higher concentration. Energy required.	3	1	true
Osmosis	Definition: Movement of a solvent (usually water) from a low solute concentration to a high solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration of the two solutions. No energy required.	4	0	false
across	Movement of very large molecules (into the cell) _____ the cell membrane through the fusion of vesicles. Energy required.	5	1	true
Solute	Definition: Substance dissolved in another substance.	6	0	false
Homeostasis	Definition: process by which biological systems, including the cell, tend to maintain stability	7	0	false
Diffusion	Definition: Movement of both solvent and solute particles from high concentration to low concentration in order to equalize the concentration of the solution. No energy required.	8	0	false
Solvent	Definition: The substance that dissolves another substance.	9	0	false
greater	Concentration (amount) of solutes OUTSIDE of the cell membrane is GREATER than inside cell; this promotes a _____ flow of water outside the cell thus leading to cell shrinking.	10	1	true
Hypotonic solution	Definition: Concentration (amount) of solutes OUTSIDE of the cell membrane is LESS than inside the cell; this promotes a greater flow of water inside the cell thus leading to cell bursting.	11	0	false
Exocytosis	Definition: Movement of very large molecules (out of the cell) across the cell membrane through the fusion of vesicles. Energy required.	12	0	false

Term	Definition
Isotonic solution	Concentration (amount) of solutes is equal on both sides of the cell membrane; this allows the flow of water through the cell membrane to be equal.
Facilitated Diffusion	Movement of specific molecules down a concentration gradient (from high concentration to low concentration) passing through the membrane via a specific carrier protein. No energy required.
Active Transport	Movement of a substance across a cell membrane against its concentration gradient from lower concentration to higher concentration. Energy required.
Osmosis	Movement of a solvent (usually water) from a low solute concentration to a high solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration of the two solutions. No energy required.
Endocytosis	Movement of very large molecules (into the cell) across the cell membrane through the fusion of vesicles. Energy required.
Solute	Substance dissolved in another substance.
Homeostasis	process by which biological systems, including the cell, tend to maintain stability
Diffusion	Movement of both solvent and solute particles from high concentration to low concentration in order to equalize the concentration of the solution. No energy required.
Solvent	The substance that dissolves another substance.
Hypertonic solution	Concentration (amount) of solutes OUTSIDE of the cell membrane is GREATER than inside cell; this promotes a greater flow of water outside the cell thus leading to cell shrinking.
Hypotonic solution	Concentration (amount) of solutes OUTSIDE of the cell membrane is LESS than inside the cell; this promotes a greater flow of water inside the cell thus leading to cell bursting.
Exocytosis	Movement of very large molecules (out of the cell) across the cell membrane through the fusion of vesicles. Energy required.
