liquid bilayer
if a substance is able to diffuse across a membrane, the membrane is said to be ____ to it
permeable
most biological membranes are ____, meaning that some substances can pass across them and other cannot
selectively permeable
____ passes quite easily across most membranes, even though many solute molecules cannot

swell
for organisms to survive, they must have a way to balance the ____ and ____ of water
intake loss
osmosis exerts osmotic pressure on the ____side of a selectively permeable membrane
hypertonic
most cells in large organisms aren't in danger of bursting. they don't come in contact with ____. instead, they are bathed in fluids, such as blood, that are ____
fresh water, isotonic
the isotonic fluids that cells are bathed in have ____ of ____ roughly equal to those in the cells themselves
concentration
dissolved materials
plant cells are surrounded by tough cell walls the prevent the cells from ____, even under tremendous ____
expanding, osmotic pressure

facilitated diffusion
movement of specific molecules across the cell membranes through protein channels
faciliated diffusion is ____ and ____
fast and specific

vacuole, cytoplasm
two examples of endocytosis
phagocytosis
pinocytosis
phgocytosis
extensions of cytoplasm surround a particle and package it within a food vacuole
____ uses phagocytosis to take in food
amoebas
engulfing material requires a considerable amount of ____
energy
pinocytosis
when a cell takes in liquid from the surrounding environment
in pinocytosis, tiny pockets form along the cell ____, fill with ____, and pinch off to form ____ within the ____
membrane, liquid, vacuoles, cell
exocytosis
when a cell release large amounts of material
during exocytosis, the membrane of the ____ surrounding the material fuses with the cell membrane, forcing the contents ____ of the cell
vacuole, out
