  12. 20. hair-like processes on the surface of the cell that propel materials across the surface
  13. 22. process in which large particles are trapped in the plasma membrane and brought into the cell
  14. 23. membrane, the external boundary of the cell
  15. 24. permeability characteristic of the plasma membrane that allows some substances to pass through easily
  16. 25. thread-like structure that has a whip-like motion that helps move a cell
  17. 27. pertains to a solution that contains a higher concentration of solutes compared with the fluid within the cell
