Across
- 3. The shrinking of a cell that occurs when it loses water in a hypertonic solution.
- 4. A solution where the concentration of water and solutes is the same inside and outside the cell.
- 9. Refers to the specific proteins on the cell's plasma membrane that bind to molecules during receptor-mediated endocytosis.
- 10. The process of capturing a substance from outside the cell by engulfing it.
- 11. The transport of molecules against a concentration gradient, which requires cellular energy
- 13. Movement of materials across the cell membrane that does not require energy.
- 15. The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Down
- 1. A type of transport where carrier proteins in a plasma membrane help molecules pass across.
- 2. Also called "cell eating”, it is when the plasma membrane forms a vesicle around a solid particle.
- 5. Also called "cell drinking" , it is when the plasma membrane encloses small amounts of fluid droplets.
- 6. A solution where the outside environment has a higher concentration of solute than the cell.
- 7. The diffusion of water molecules across selectively permeable membranes.
- 8. A solution with a lower concentration of solute than the cell.
- 12. The process where a vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane to release its contents outside of the cell.
- 14. The form of cellular energy required for active transport.
