lipid bilayer : double layered sheet that forms the core of nearly all cell membranes
hypotonic : "below strength"; when comparing two solutions, the solution with the lesser concentration of solutes
concentration : the mass of a solute in a given volume of solution, or mass/volume
pinocytosis : process by which cells take up liquid from the surrounding environment
active transport : energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell membrane against a concentration difference
isotonic : "sam strength"; when the concentration of two solutions is the same
cell membrane : thin flexible barrier around the cell; regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also provides protection and support
diffusion : process by which molecules tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated
cell wall : strong supporting membrane around the cell membranein plants, algae, and some bacteria
hypertonic: "above strength"; when comparing two solutions, the solution with the greatest concentration of solutes
osmosis : the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
facilitated diffusion : movement of specific molecules across cell membranes through protein channels
exocytosis : process by which a cell releases a large amount of material
equilibrium : when the concentration of a solute is the same throughout a system/solution
phagocytosis : process in which extensions of the cytoplasm surround and engulf large particles and take them in to the cell
endocytosis : process by which a cell takes material in to the cell by infolding of the cell membrane
