Question

process by which a cell takes in material by forming a vacuole around it
particle movement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
process by which a cell expels wastes from a vacuole
a form of passive transport that uses transport proteins
particle movement from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
transport protein that changes shape when a particle binds with it
match the term with its correct description:
a. transport protein d. passive transport g. exocytosis
b. active transport e. osmosis h. equilibrium
c. diffusion f. endocytosis
the diffusion of water through a cell membrane
the movement of substances through the cell membrane without the use of cellular energy
used to help substances enter or exit the cell membrane
when energy is required to move materials through a cell membrane
when the molecules of one substance are spread evenly throughout another substance to become balanced
a vacuole membrane fuses (becomes a part of) the cell membrane and the contents are released
the cell membrane forms around another substance, for example, how the amoeba gets its food
when molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration

Explanation:

1. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a cell membrane.
2. Passive transport is the movement of substances through the cell membrane without using cellular energy.
3. Active transport requires energy for substances to enter or exit the cell membrane.
4. Equilibrium occurs when molecules of one substance are evenly spread throughout another to become balanced.
5. Exocytosis is when a vacuole membrane fuses with the cell membrane and releases contents.
6. Endocytosis is when the cell membrane forms around a substance like an amoeba getting food.
7. Diffusion is when molecules move from high - to low - concentration areas.

Answer:

1. e. osmosis
2. d. passive transport
3. b. active transport
4. h. equilibrium
5. g. exocytosis
6. f. endocytosis
7. c. diffusion
