Through the cell membrane

is the ability to maintain a constant internal environment in response to environmental changes. Cell membrane is responsible for homeostasis.
Homeostasis

Solvent A liquid such as water in which substances are dissolved forming a solution. The extracellular fluid consists of a variable mixture of water and dissolved materials. Some materials are need by cells. Diffusion: is the movement of molecules from a region where they are more concentrated to one where they are less concentrated Brownian motion: Constant random movement of molecules in a liquid. Solute: dissolve in a solvent to form a uniform mixture or solution. Concentration gradient: The difference between high concentrations to low concentration (difference) Osmosis: the diffusion of the solvent across a semi-permeable membrane separating two solutions is called osmosis. Isotonic conditions: when the water concentration inside a cell equals the water concentration outside the cell. Equal amounts move in and out of the cell. Hypotonic conditions: When the water concentration outside a cell is greater than that is in the inside. Water moves in the cell. Hypertonic: When the waster concentration inside the cell is greater than that outside, water moves out of the cell. When water diffuses out of the cell, its called plasmolyisis. Selectively permeable membrane: When other substances cannot diffuse inside a cell or out, it makes the cell membrane a selective permeable membrane. Carrier protein: this type of membrane facilitates the movement of glucose or any other substances that are hard to diffuse inside a cell membrane. Takes them to a region where they are more concentrated to a region where they are less concentrated. This is called facilitated diffusion.

Channel protein: transports charged particles across the cell membrane. Passive transport: would allow some materials to stay in the cell after the toxic waste is completely removed from the intracellular environment. Active transport: to transport substances from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration is called active transport. Moving substance against their concentrating gradient is called active transport. Active transport pump: pumps ions across the membrane against concentration gradients. Endocytosis: When the cell membrane folds inward, trapping and enclosing a small amount of matter from the extracellular fluid Pinocytosis: intake of a small droplet of extracellular fluid. Phagocytosis: intake of large droplet of extracellular fluid, usually including bacteria or organic matter. Receptor assisted endocytosis: brings in cholesterol using this. Membrane receptor: a specific membrane protein with a uniquely shaped projection or cavity that fits (receives) the shape only one specific molecule. Exocytosis: The process used in the secretion of cell products where a vesicle forms inside the cell moves to the cell surface and fuses with the cell membrane, releasing its contents outside the cell.
