Bulk active transport
-
Movement
of
large particles
and
fluid
by
endocytosis
and
exocytosis
Endocytosis
-
Movement
of
substances
into the
cell
Exocytosis
-
Movement
of
substances out
of the
cell
Solute
:
Substance dissolved
in a
solution
Solvent
:
Substance that the solute is dissolved in
,
usually a liquid.
Concentration
-
Refers
to how
much
of a
substance
is
present
in a
solvent
High solute concentration
-
High amount of solute
and
low amount of solvent
Low solute concentration
-
Low amount of solute in a solvent
Osmosis
- The
movement of water molecules
from a region of
high water concentration
to a region of
low water concentration
Isotonic
-
Two solutions contain the same amount of substances dissolved in them
Hypertonic
- Solution containing a
greater amount of dissolved substances
(
Lower concentration of free water molecules
)
Hypotonic
-
Solution
containing a
lesser amount of dissolved substances
(
Higher level of free water molecules
)
