Cell Processes

Front 1

Eukaryote

Back 1

any of the single-celled or multi-cellular organisms whose cell contains a distinct, membrane-bound nucleus.

Front 2

Prokaryote

Back 2

any of the group of organisms primarily characterized by the lack

Front 3

selectively permeable

Back 3

a feature an a function of the plasma membrane that is essential to maintain homeostasis by regulating the passage of some substances while preventing others from entering the cell

Front 4

Diffusion

Back 4

a type of passive transport (spontaneous), therefore, it is a net movement of molecules in and out of the cell across the cell membrane along a concentration gradient (higher concentration to lower concentration).

Front 5

facilitated diffusion

Back 5

when molecules move ( diffuse) via special transport proteins found within the cell membrane.

Front 6

Osmosis

Back 6

Tendency of water to flow from a hypotonic solution (low concentration of dissolved substances) to hypertonic solution (higher concentration of dissolved substances) across a semipermeable membrane.

Front 7

Isotonic

Back 7

Having equal tension or pressure.

Front 8

Hypertonic

Back 8

Higher concentration

Front 9

Hypotonic

Back 9

Lower concentration
