Movement of particles across a membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without energy input

Protein that is associated with a membrane that usually acts as a carrier protein to aid in the transport of a molecule across the membrane

Liquid portion of the cytoplasm that is found outside of the organelles

Uptake of molecules by cells where the cell membrane surrounds the molecule then forms a vesicle that is released inside cell

Fluids or liquids including solutes found outside of cells

Movement of molecules through a membrane down a concentrate gradient with the aid of a transmembrane protein channel

Movement of ions across permeable cell membranes from a high concentrate gradient to a low concentrate gradient due to hydrostatic pressure

lipid containing carbohydrate group, usually galactose

Regulation of internal environment to maintain a stable, constant condition

Condition where the concentration of impermeable solutes is less inside the cell than the concentration of the impermeable solutes on the other side of the membrane

Fluid found in the intercellular spaces (between cells) including the dissolved solutes

Fluid or liquid including solutes found inside of cell.

Condition where the concentration of impermeable solutes is equal on both sides of the membrane

Chemical structures that surrounds organelles, cells or tissues that serve as a selective barrier to specific molecules, or substances, thus controls what enters or leaves the structure.

Membrane enclosed cellular organelle that contains multiple DNA molecules that controls cell activity by regulating gene expression

Diffusion of water molecules across a membrane in response to differences in solute (usually ions) concentration.

Membrane bound structure excluding the nucleus found inside cell membranes that have specific functions

Diffusion across a plasma membrane from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration where the cell expends no energy

Biochemical structure surrounding cell that is selectively permeable to various molecules and is involved in variety of cellular processes including cell adhesion, ion channel conductance and cell signaling

Method of transport where primary molecule uptake does not require energy, but this molecule results in uptake of secondary molecule that requires energy for excretion

Process of segregating, elaborating, and releasing molecules from a cell

Measure of the osmotic pressure of two solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane

Cell membrane protein that spans the membrane and is generally used in transportation of molecules through membranes or transporting a message or signal through a membrane
