Term
semi permeable
Definition
This term describes a property of the cell membrane because it explains that some substances can pass through, but others cannot.
Term
diffusion
Definition
Describes when molecules move across a cell membrane from an area of high to low concentration.
Term
carrier proteins
channel proteins
Definition
What are two types of transport proteins?
Term
Passive transport
Definition
Movement of materials across a cell membrance that does NOT require energy.
Term
Active Transport
Definition
Movement of molecules across a cell membrane USING cellular energy because the molecules are moving from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
Term
Endocytosis
Definition
Process in which a cell takes in a substance by surrounding it with the cell membrane.
