Question Answer
Active Transport Describes what happens when a cell uses energy to transport something
Cell specialization Specialized cells differ in structure, size, shape, and function.
Concentration Amount of a subcomponent in a solution
Diffusion Chemical and biological process when molecules from a material move from high to low concentration
Endocytosis The taking in of matter by a living cell by invagination of its membrane to form a vacuole
Equilibrium when concentrations of reactants and products don't change over time
Exocytosis The exiting of matter by a living cell
Facilitated diffusion Concentration goes from high to low
Hypertonic having increased pressure
Hypotonic having reduced pressure
Isotonic same osmotic pressure as some other solution in cell
Lipid Bilayer thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules
Organ part of an organism typically cells contained
Organ system A group of organs that work together to perform one function
Osmosis when molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution
Phagocytosis The process by which a cell engulfs a solid particle
Pinocytosis The ingestion of liquid into a cell by the budding of small vesicles from the cell membrane
Tissue Distinct types of material by which animals and plants are created
