Diffusion
|
|
|
The diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane.
|
Osmosis
|
|
|
The movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell.

|
|
The movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy.
|
Active Transport
|
|
|
The process by which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell.
|
Endocytosis
|
|
|
The process in which a cell releases a particle by enclosing the particle in a vesicle that then moves to the cell surface and fuses with the cell membrane.

In a eukaryotic cell, one of the structures in the nucleus that are made up of DNA and protein; in a prokaryotic cell, the main ring of DNA.
|
Chromosome
|
|
|
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and the same structure.
