25
Another type of way to enter and exit cells, examples are macromolecules, which are proteins, and bacteria and viruses
Endocytosis and exocytosis
26
________ is a physical process that can be observed with any type of particle. A universal phenomenon
Diffusion
27
The law of diffusion is that particles move from the area of 1.______ concentration to the area of 2._______ concentration until equally distributed
1. higher | 2. lower
28
Diffusion is a _______ process, which means no ATP is needed
passive
29
The rate of diffusion is affected by the 1.__________ ________, which is the difference in concentration of the diffusing molecules between the two regions, the size and 2._______ of the molecules, and the 3.________
1. Concentration gradient 2. Shape 3. Temperature
30
Name the three ways of increasing the rate of diffusion
Increase the temperature, increase the concentration gradient, decrease the size of the diffusing molecules
31
The properties of the cell membrane allow a few types of molecules to pass by diffusion: lipid soluble molecules like _________ and ________ can diffuse directly across because the membrane itself is made of lipids
Steroids and alcohol
32
_______ diffuses readily across the membrane, even thought it is not lipid-soluble. It probably goes through charged, protein-lined pores in the membrane that will not let anything else but it through
Water
33
The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane is a special case of diffusion called
Osmosis
34
A ______ is a substance that is being dissolved in a solvent
Solute
35
A _______ is a fluid which is used to dissolve a solute
Solvent
36
A _______ is a homogeneous mixture created when solutes are dissolved in a solvent
Solution
37
If salt is dissolving in water, identify the solute, solvent, and solution
The salt is the solute, water is the solvent, and when salt is the dissolved in the water then it will combine to be the solution
38
__________ pressure is the pressure due to the flow of water from the area of greater concentration to the area of lesser concentration
Osmotic
39
True or false, the greater the concentration difference across the membrane, the greater the osmotic pressure
True
40
____________ pressure = pressure exerted due to the weight of the liquid
Hydrostatic
41
____________ occurs when osmotic pressure is the same as hydrostatic pressure
Equilibrium
42
It’s cellular systems, _______ can move easily across membranes, but other molecules can’t. Therefore it can only move and follow the law of diffusion, which is that it will move from where it is more concentrated to where it is less concentrated
Water
43
A solution which has a lesser number of solute molecules per volume than the cell is called a
Hypotonic solution
44
A solution which has the same number of solute molecules per volume of the cell is called a
Isotonic solution
45
A solution which has a greater number of solute molecules per volume is called a
Hypertonic solution
46
What solution has no net movement of water across the membrane, as well as equal number of solute molecules per unit volume
Isotonic
47
Cells placed in this solution neither gain or lose water. One example is a 0.9% solution of NaCl is _______ to red blood cells
Isotonic
48
What solution has a greater concentration of solute then the cell. If a cell is placed in the solution, water will leave the cell and the cell will shrivel up
Hypertonic
49
When a hypertonic solution makes a cell shrivel up, it is called __________ in red blood cells
Crenation
50
A solution which has a lesser concentration of solute in the cell contents is called a 
Hypotonic solution
51
If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution water will enter the cell and it will ______ and maybe _________

54
Hypotonic solutions causes ________ ____________, against the rigid cell wall
Turgor pressure
55
Turgor pressure occurs when 1._______ cells, placed in a hypotonic solution, admitting water. As water enters, pressure builds up inside the cell resulting in turgor pressure
