Isotonic - Movement of water is 0; homeostasis is achieved, Selective Permeability - Only allowing certain molecules to pass through, Passive Transport - Movement of molecules from high to low concentration without aid, Channel protein - Protein channel that is always open, Eukaryote - Organism containing one or more cells with a nucleus, Hydrophobic - Water-hating, Exocytosis - Movement of large molecules out of the cell with aid from the membrane, Osmosis - Movement of water from high to low concentration, Active Transport - Movement of molecules that requires energy, Simple diffusion - Movement of molecules without the use of energy, Prokaryote - Organism containing only one cell without a nucleus, Hypertonic - Movement of water out of the cell; solution has higher solute concentratior, Carbohydrate chains - Attached to either lipids or proteins that aid in cell recognition/ security, Phospholipid - Phosphate head & fatty acid tails that form a bilayer, Endocytosis - Movement of large molecules into the cell with aid from the membrane, Cholesterol - Lipid that keeps the membrane flexible & rigid, Hydrophilic - Water-loving, Hypotonic - Movement of water into the cell; solution has lower solute concentration, Carrier protein - Protein channel that is always closed, Facilitated Diffusion - Movement of molecules from high to low concentration with aid,
