When a nutrient is too large to go through the cell membrane on its own, what is the process that will help get the nutrients into the cell?
Endocytosis
It is not healthy for a damaged part of the cell to stay inside the cell. What is the process of removing the damaged cell part?
Exocytosis
What are two ways that materials move through the Cell Membrane?
Active & Passive Transport
Which type of transport goes from an area of high concentration to low concentration while requiring NO energy?
Passive Transport
Which type of transport goes from an area of low concentration to high concentration that requires energy?
Active Transport
What are 3 ways that materials move through the Cell Membrane using Passive Transport?
Diffusion, Osmosis, Facilitated Diffusion
What are the 2 ways that materials move through the Cell Membrane using Active Transport?
Endocytosis & Exocytosis
What is happening in this picture?
Diffusion
What is the process of moving water molecules across selectively permeable membranes?
Osmosis
What is the roll of the Cell Membrane?
It controls which substances pass in and out of the cell. AKA "Security Guard"
What does Selectively Permeable mean?
Some substances can cross the membrane while others cannot. AKA Staff with badges
What is Passive Transport?
The movement of materials across the membrane without using energy. *Sledding downhill requires no energy*
What is Active Transport?
The movement of materials across a cell membrane using energy. *After sledding down the hill, you need energy to now walk back up it*
What is Diffusion?
When molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. *When you spray a bottle of perfume*
What is Osmosis?
The diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. *Think of water*
What is Facilitated Diffusion?
The movement of substances across the membrane with the assistance of special transport proteins. *Someone famous needing an escort to go places*
