| What is the difference between Intracellular Fluid & Interstitial Fluid? |
|
Definition
| Intracellular has fluids within the cell, while Interstitial has fluids between the cells. Intracellular also has cytosol. |

Term
| What does it mean for the Plasma Membrane to be selectively permeable? |
|
Definition
| Means certain materials can enter, while others are excluded. |

Term
| What is the difference between Passive and Active Transport? |
|
Definition
Passive - No Energy is needed
(Ex. Diffusion, Osmosis, and Filtration)
Active - Energy is required in the form of ATP and Protein.
(Ex. Solute Pumps & Vesicular Transport)
