|
|
A cell gets rid of undigested and unused substances through this process (involves a vesicle emptying its contents out of the cell)
|
exocytosis
|
|
|
When the particles of any substance move from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
|
diffusion
|
|
|
The cell membrane folds in on itself to create a food vacuole (or vesicle)
|
phagocytosis
|
|
|
If the cell and the surrounding solution have the same salinity (salt concentration)
|
isotonic
|
|
|
This is not found in animal cells and it provides support and protection for the cells
|
cell wall
|
|
|
A solution that has a lower water concentration (higher salinity) than a cell in that solution
|
hypertonic
|
|
|
The cell membrane folds in on itself to create a water vacuole (or vesicle)
|
pinocyctosis
|
|
|
The movement of water, along the concentration gradient, through a semi-permeable membrane
|
osmosis
|
|
|
A solution that has a higher water concentration (lower salinity) than a cell in that solution
