Definitions:

Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis

Facilitated Diffusion

A process of passive transport, mediated by carrier proteins, allowing molecules to cross the cellular membrane along the concentration gradient without energy expenditure.

Osmotic Pressure

The pressure required to prevent the flow of solvent into a solution through a semipermeable membrane, driven by differences in solute concentration.

Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis
