The diffusion of water molecules only through a membrane
The movement of substances through a cell membrane without using the cell's energy
The process during which a cell takes in a substance by surrounding it with the cell membrane
Having a lower osmotic pressure than the surrounding environment is called
The process during which a cell’s vesicles releases their contents outside the cell
The movement of substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
When molecules pass through a cell membrane using special proteins called transport proteins
the force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall

glycolipids/glycoproteins, are chains found on the surface of the cell membrane that are made of carbohydrates + lipid (or) protein
a solute in a solution pertains to the ratio of the mass or volume of the solute to the mass or volume of the solvent
when the concentration of particles is higher in one area than another.

are proteins that transport substances across biological membranes
portion of a molecule is one whose interactions with water and other polar substances are more thermodynamically favorable than their interactions with oil or other hydrophobic solvents
the molecules and surfaces repel water; the fear of water
a molecule that has the ability to dissolve other molecules
a substance that can be dissolved by a solvent to create a solution
a substance that dissolves another substance by pulling the molecules apart through electrochemical interactions
