This document defines and provides examples of key biological terms related to cell membranes and transport. It defines terms like amphipathic, aquaporins, concentration gradient, contractile vacuole, cotransport, diffusion, electrochemical gradient, hypertonic, hypotonic, integral protein, isotonic, ligands, membrane potential, osmoregulation, osmosis, passive transport, peripheral protein, phagocytosis, pinocytosis, plasmolysis, receptor-mediated endocytosis, and transport protein. Examples are provided to illustrate concepts like aquaporins regulating water flow, concentration gradients directing cell development, cotransport of molecules, diffusion of food coloring in water, and plasmolysis in plant cells.
