Plasmolysis

The shrinking of a plant cell when it loses water, causing the cell membrane to pull away from the cell wall.

Hypertonic Solution

A solution with a higher concentration of solutes than the cell's cytoplasm.

Osmotic Pressure

The force that pushes water across a semi-permeable membrane. It increases as the concentration of solutes increases.

Crenation

The shrinking of an animal cell when it's placed in a hypertonic solution, leading to a decrease in cell volume.

Fluid Mosaic Model

The fluid mosaic model describes the cell membrane as a dynamic and flexible structure. It is "fluid" because phospholipids and proteins can move within the membrane. It is "mosaic" because of the scattered arrangement of proteins within the lipid bilayer.

Cell membrane selectively permeable

The cell membrane acts as a selective barrier, allowing some molecules to pass through easily while restricting others. Nonpolar molecules, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, can pass through easily because they are lipid soluble. However, polar molecules, such as water and ions, have difficulty passing through.

Simple Diffusion

Simple diffusion is a passive process where molecules move down their concentration gradient, meaning they move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. This movement does not require any energy input.

Kinetic energy in diffusion

Diffusion is driven by the natural tendency of molecules to spread out and occupy available space evenly. This spread out movement is due to the continuous random motion of molecules, which is called kinetic energy.
