______ is when a substance crossed the cell membrane without any input of energy by the cell.
Definition
Passive transport
Term
Diffusion takes place from an are of _________concentration to an area __________ concentration.
Definition
higher
lower
Term
____________is when the concentration of molecules will be the same throughout the space the molecules occupy.
Definition
equilibrium
Term
________is diffusion across the membrane
Definition
simple diffusion
Term
__________is the process by which water passes into or out of a cell.
Definition
osmosis
Term
As a result of diffusion, the concentration of many types of substances eventually becomes ________ on both sides of a membrane.
Definition
equal
Term
_____________are organelles that regulate water levels in paramecia.
Definition
contractile vacuoles
Term
___________is the pressure that water molecules exert against the cell wall.
Definition
turgor pressure
Term
__________is when the cells shrink away from the cell walls, and turgor pressure is lost.
Definition
plasmolysis
Term
_________is the bursting of cells.
Definition
cytolysis
Term
___________________is the movement of large molecules across the cell membrane is assisted by specific proteins in the membrane.
Definition
facilitated diffusion
Term
Characteristics of facilitated diffusion are: It requires a _________.
It requires No _________input.
It involves a change in the ________ of its carrier.
Definition
carrier protein,
energy
shape
Term
An example of facilitated diffusion is:
Definition
sugar molecules enter cells.
Term
_____________transport ions through the membrane.
Definition
ion channels
Term
___________________is when materials move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration.
Definition
active transport
Term
Active transport systems are a form of cell transport that requires energy from molecules of _____________
Definition
ATP
Term
Active transport allows a cell to stockpile substances in far _________ concentrations than they occur _________ the cell.
Definition
greater, outside
Term
molecules that are too large to be moved through the membrane can be transported into the cell by ___________
Definition
endocytosis
Term
An example of active transport performed by a membrane cell pump is: A calcium ion channel will allow only ____________ions to pass through it.
Definition
calcium
Term
___________________transports Na+ & K+ ions up their concentration gradients.
Definition
sodium-potassium pump
Term
Sodium-potassium pumps usually pump _________________into the cell.

potassium
Term
sodium-potassium pumps help in conduction of_________________
Definition
nerve impulses
Term
_____________supplies the energy that drives the pump.
Definition
ATP
Term
some substances are too large to pass through the cell membrane by transport processes, so they must undergo_________or___________.
Definition
endocytosis, exocytosis
Term
______________means "cellular drinking"

pinocytosis
Term
________________means "cellular eating"
Definition
phagocytosis
Term
An example of phagocytosis is an:
