Across
- 3. having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.
- 5. movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration.
- 7. enzyme found in the membrane of all animal cells. It performs several functions in cell physiology. The Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase enzyme is active.
- 9. of, relating to, or being muscular contraction in the absence of significant resistance, with marked shortening of muscle fibers, and without great increase in muscle tone
- 10. force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall
- 11. form of active transport and bulk transport in which a cell transports molecules out of the cell
- 12. net movement of anything generally from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration
Down
- 1. cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell. The material to be internalized is surrounded by an area of cell membrane
- 2. process of spontaneous passive transport of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins
- 4. type of membrane transport that does not require energy to move substances across cell membranes
- 6. having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.
- 8. spontaneous net movement or diffusion of solvent molecules through a selectively-permeable membrane from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential
