Definition
Malignant cells are characterized by ________ ________ ________ that cause mutations in the cells.
Term
only when necessary, when appropriate
Definition
Normal cells undergo mitosis ________ ________ _______ and stop ________ ________.
Term
Diffusion
Definition
movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration, molecules have free energy and are always in motion.
Term
Osmosis
Definition
diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Term
Facilitated Diffusion
Definition
carrier and transport enzyments move molecules accross cell membranes from greater concentration to lesser concentration.
Term
Filtration
Definition
movement of water and dissolved substances from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressre.
Term
Active Transport
Definition
movement of molecules from an area of lesser concentration to an area of greater concentration requires ATP, against the concentration gradient
