Term
Homeostasis
Definition
balance with the enviroment by controlling and regulating what gets into and out of the cell, cell membrane maintains stable enviroment
Term
Solutes
Definition
molecules dissolved
Term
solvent
Definition
substance actively doing to dissolving
Term
Concentration Gradient
Definition
the difference in concentrationd across a space or a membrane
Term
Molecules will move to....
Definition
equilize the concentrations in the two areas
Term
Molecules move torwards
Definition
lesser concentrated area
Term
Equilibrium
Definition
when the sides are equal, aka same amount of solute inside and outside cell
Term
Permeable
Definition
all things can pass through
Term
Semipermeable
Definition
only some things can pass through based on size
Term
Osmosis
Definition
diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane
Term
Hypotonic
Definition
lower, less of whatever is described
Term
Hypertonic
Definition
whatever there is more of in the solution, most concentrated
Term
Isotonic
Definition
equal concentration of molecules, equilbrium
Term
Utube
Definition
u shaped tube, where you discover the more hypertonic solution because the water rises on that side
Term
Turgor Pressure
Definition
osmotic pressure, pressure due to water, in plant cells
Term
Cytolysis
Definition
when a cell bursts because it has taken in too much water, more frequent in animal cells since they don't have a cell wall
Term
Plasmolysis
Definition
when a cell collapses on itself because it has lost too much water
Term
Contracticle Vacuole
Definition
vacuoles that pump water out of a cell to keep a concentration gradient present
Term
Freshwater fish are
Definition
hypertonic to enviroment
Term
Facilated Diffusion
Definition
molecules move down the concentration gradient with the help of a protein in the cell membrane
Term
Active Transport
Definition
molecule uses a protein in the cell membrane to move against the concentration gradeint, requires energy, with ATP
Term
ATP
Definition
triphosphate something, big molecule, sugar, lot's of energy
Term
Endocytosis
Definition
in, a way in which the cell takes in a  big molecule
Term
Exocytosis
Definition
out, the way a cell rids itself a of a large molecule
Term
Endocytosis and exocytosis
Definition

require energy
