Question or Hint Answer or Word

Solution has more particles and less water causing water to flow out of cell and cell to shrink. _______________________________________ Hypertonic
Solution has less particles and more water causing water to flow into cell and cell to swell or lead to lysis. _______________________________________ Hypotonic
There is a balance in particles and water molecules within solution and cell. ________________________________________ Isotonic
A process resulting from osmosis in which cells, in a hypertonic solution, shrink and acquire a scalloped surface.____________________________ Crenation
A particle or substance that is dissolved within another substance. _______________________________________ Lysis
PARTICLES moving from an area of HIGHER concentration TO LESSER concentration. _______________________________________ Diffusion
WATER moving from an area of HIGHER concentration of water TO LOWER concentration of water. _______________________________________ Osmosis
When proteins cross cell membrane going AGAINST GRADIENT (going from low to high); requires energy to complete this transport - uses ATP . _______________________________________ Active Transport
When a membrane allows some molecules to pass through but not others; depends on charge, size and lipid soluability. _______________________________________ Selective Permeability
A particle or substance that is dissolved within another substance. _______________________________________ Solute
