Pinocytosis Cell drinking
Phagocytosis Cell eating
release of substances outside a cell by the fusion of a
Exocytosis
vesicle with the membrane.
process by which a cell takes material into the cell by
Endocytosis
infolding of the cell membrane
Low to High, Diffusion of water through a selectively
osmosis
permeable membrane
Movement of molecules from an area of higher
Diffusion
concentration to an area of lower concentration.
the ability of a surrounding solution to cause a cell to
tonicity
gain or lose water
when the concentration of two solutions is the same
isotonic solution
(moving in and out equally)
A solution in which the concentration of solutes is
hypertonic solution greater outside then inside the cell that resides in the
solution
Solute concentration is less than the inside the cell;
hypotonic solution
cell gains water

pulls fluid into the capillaries and/or prevents fluid
oncotic pressure
from leaving.
increases filtration by pushing fluid and solute OUT of
hydrostatic pressure
the capillaries
This happens when a cell shrinks and shrivels; can
crenation
result in cell death if severe.
hemolysis destruction/split of red blood cells
the movement of ions or molecules across a cell
active transport membrane into a region of higher concentration,
assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.
passive(facilitated) the movement of substances across a cell membrane
transport without the use of energy by the cell
TWO substances are transported together by one
Co-transport
protein no ATPase activity
One substance is being transported into the cell
Countertransport membrane and the other is getting transported in the
opposite direction.
• Temperature
What are some factors
• Solvent Density
that affect diffusion?
• Distance traveled
high to low concentration easy to flow through cell
Simple Diffusion
membrane; Oxygen is an example
Only the right shape gets through example little kid
Channel Mediated
