Diffusion
The movement of particles from an
area where their concentration is
high to an area where their
concentration is low

Osmosis
The diffusion of water across a cell
membrane
Click for Term
The diffusion of particles through
proteins in the cell membranes from
areas where the concentration of particles
is high to areas where the concentration
of particles is low
Click for Term
Passive transport
The diffusion of particles through proteins in the
cell membranes from areas where the
concentration of particles is high to areas
where the concentration of particles is low
Click for Term
The movement of particles through
proteins in the cell membranes
against the direction of diffusion;
requires cells to use energy

The process in which a cell
membrane surrounds a particle and
encloses it in a vesicle to bring it into
the cell

Endocytosis
The process in which a cell
membrane surrounds a particle
and encloses it in a vesicle to bring
it into the cell
Click for Term
The process used to remove large
particles from a cell; during which a
vesicle containing the particles fuses
with the cell membrane
