What type of solution has a balanced concentration within the cell, so there is a constant and equal flow of water in and out of the cell? hypotonic hypertonic isotonic diffusion 7. What is it called when a cell wraps the membrane around a particle to take it in as food or for other uses? diffusion osmosis exocytosis endocytosis 8. What is it called when a cell uses energy to expel substances from inside the cell into the environment surrounding? exocytosis endocytosis diffusion osmosis
look at the suffixes! hypo - less hyper - more iso - same The above are all related to concentration exo - outside endo - inside The above refer to location of a process osmosis is the movement of water diffusion is the movement of molecules (NOT WATER!)
eg : for 6, you can ignore diffusion because it doesn't talk about concentration. That leaves you with HYPO, HYPER or ISO. Which one seems to best fit the bill?
is 6. isotonic and 7. endocytosis and 8. exocytosis? @wilsondanielle
