Exocytosis

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

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.
