About this cell transport crossword
5 Across answers meet 5 Down answers. Compare ways materials and water cross cell membranes, plus solutions that change an animal cell's volume. Tonicity depends on solutes that do not readily cross that membrane. Active transport can use energy directly or through a coupled gradient. Two clues complete transport names.
