Cell wall
Cells sometimes must move materials against a ________________________________ difference.
Concentration
At that point, the ___________________________________ of the substance on both sides of the cell membrane is the same, and ___________________________________ is reached.
Concentration; equilibrium
Since most cells in large organisms do not come in ____________________ with fresh water, they are not in danger of bursting
Contact
Other cells, including those of plants and bacteria, that come into ______________________ with fresh water are surrounded by tough cell walls that prevent the cells from expanding, even under tremendous _____________________ pressure.
Contact; osmotic
Process by which particles tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated

Endocytosis
The movement of molecules by facilitated diffusion does not require additional use of the cell's _________________
Energy

Energy; active
Endocytosis = ?
Enter
Exocytosis = ?
Exit
Many cells also release large amounts of material from the cell, a process known as _________________________.
Exocytosis
The membrane of a vesicle surrounds the material then fuses with the cell membrane. The contents are forced out of the cell.
Exocytosis
Molecules that cannot directly diffuse across the membrane pass through special protein channels in a process known as _________________________ _________________________________.
Facilitated diffusion
Process of diffusion in which molecules pass across the membrane through cell membrane channels
Facilitated diffusion
Some cells, such as the eggs laid by fish and frogs, must come in contact wi fresh water. These types of cells tend to ________________ water channels.

Liquid
In endocytosis, the pockets fill with _____________________ and pinch off to form ___________________________ within the cell.
Liquid; vacuoles
In ________________________________, extensions of cytoplasm surround a particle and package it within a food vacuole. The cell then ________________________ it.
Phagocytosis; engulfs
In __________________________________, cells take up liquid from the surrounding environment by forming tiny pockets along the cell membrane.
Pinocytosis
Small molecules and ions are carried across membranes by _______________________ in the membrane that act like pumps
Proteins
Hundreds of different ________________________________ have been found that allow particular __________________________ to cross cell membranes.
Proteins; substances
Changes in protein shape seem to play an important role in the ____________________________ process.
Pumping
Because the cell is filled with _________________, __________________, _______________, and other ________________________, it is almost always hypertonic to fresh water.
Salts; sugars; proteins; molecules
The transport of these larger materials sometimes involves changes in the __________________ of the cell membrane.
Shape
What is passive transport?
The movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy is called passive transport
What is active transport?
The movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.
If there are more sugar molecules on the right side of a barrier than on the left side, then which side has a lower water concentration?
The right side, because more of the solution is made of sugar than water
Instead, the cells are bathed in _________________, such as blood, that are ____________________ and have concentrations of dissolved materials roughly equal to those in the cells.
Fluids; isotonic
Large molecules, clumps of __________________, and even whole cells can be taken up by _____________________________.
Food; endocytosis
The inside of a cell's lipid bilayer is hydrophobic - or "water- ______________________________." Because of this, water molecules have a tough time passing through the cell membrane.
Hating
The process by which particles move from an area of ___________________ concentration to an area of ______________________ concentration is known as _________________________________.
High; lower; diffusion
Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules from an area of __________________ concentration to an area of __________________ concentration.

Hypertonic
When comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solutes
Hypertonic
In a ________________________ solution, water rushes out of the cell, causing animal cells to shrink and plant cell ______________________ to collapse.
Hypertonic; vacuoles
Notice how the plant cell holds its shape in _________________________ solution, while the animal red blood cell does not.
Hypotonic
The dilute sugar solution was _____________________, or "below strength"
Hypotonic

Hypotonic
For organisms to survive, they must have a way to balance the ______________________ and loss of water

Isotonic
When the concentration is the same on both sides of the membrane, the two solutions will be ___________________, which means "same strength"

Osmotic
Pressure that must be applied to prevent osmotic movement across a selectively permeable membrane
Osmotic Pressure
The net movement of water out of or into a cell exerts a force known as _________________________________ _________________________.

Diffusion depends upon random ________________________________ movements. Substances _____________________ across membranes without requiring the cell to use additional energy.
Particle; diffuse

Particles
Because almost equal numbers of ______________________________ move in each direction, there is no net change in the ____________________________________________ on either side.
Particles; concentration
If the substance can cross the cell membrane, its ________________________________ will tend to move toward the area where it is less concentrated until it is evenly ____________________________.
Particles; distributed
