Question Answer
Homeostasis Maintaining a balance in an organism’s environment; keeping stable conditions.

The Cell membrane helps maintain homeostasis and it is a PHOSPHOLIPID BILAYER

The two major components of the cell membrane are lipids and proteins

Endocytosis Particles move INTO the cell

Exocytosis This causes the cell to expand (swell) WATER moves into the cell Example: Distilled water

Hypertonic Solution Causes a cell to shrink (shrivel) WATER leaves the cell Example: Salt water

Isotonic Solution The cell stays the same

Passive Transport NO energy is needed

Simple Transport The movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
Image: 40 D5 Db8 A A78 A 4 Ac9 B620 E7 B763 D9780 F (binary/octet-stream)
Facilitated Diffusion Molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration, but with help of a transport (carrier) protein

Osmosis Diffusion of water

Active Transport Energy is required to move molecules from low to high. It uses transport proteins (sometimes called pumps) Examples: sodium (NA) Potassium (K)
