Most animal cells are flexible for movement, while plants have rigid cell walls for support.

Front 22

type of transport that does require a cell to use energy?

Back 22

active transport

Front 23

simplest form of passive transport?

Back 23

diffusion

Front 24

Back 29

hypotonic

Front 30

concentration outside a cell is higher than inside?

Back 30

Front 31

water moves into the cell to establish equilibrium?

Back 31

hypotonic

Front 32

water moves out the cell to establish equilibrium?
