Cell Transport
Across
- 4. is used during active transport but not passive transport
- 5. the diffusion of water
- 8. Particle movement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, includes diffusion and osmosis
- 10. the separation of smaller particles from larger particles by diffusion through a semi-permeable membrane
- 12. what happens to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution
- 14. when a solution is created, the substance into which particles dissolve
- 15. a solution in which the concentration of dissolved substances is the same as the concentration inside a cell
- 18. form of passive transport that uses a carrier protein
- 22. what happens to a cell placed in a hypertonic solution
- 23. process by which cells remove materials from the cell by a vacuole that never really passes through the membrane
- 24. type of embedded protein that provides a tunnel-like opening in the plasma membrane through which particles can diffuse
Down
- 1. a solution in which the concentration of dissolved substances is higher than the concentration inside a cell
- 2. type of protein that is involved in active transport
- 3. a difference in concentration of particles on opposites sides of a membrane
- 6. when the concentration of substances on opposite sides of a membrane are the same
- 7. the tendancy of a cell or an organism to attempt to maintain a constant environment
- 9. movement of materials that requires energy because it moves materials against the concentration gradient
- 11. when a solution is created, the particles that are dissolved in the solvent
- 13. the process by which some cells surround and take in materials
- 16. a form of endocytosis in which the cell takes in solid particles ("cell eating")
- 17. a form of endocytosis in which the cell takes in fluids ("cell drinking")
- 19. the passive movement of particles along a concentration gradient until they are evenly distributed (like a lump of sugar that dissolves in a beaker of water)
- 20. protein that changes shape when a particle binds with it, involved in facilitated diffusion
- 21. a solution in which the concentration of dissolved substances is lower than the concentration inside a cell
