What two processes allow cells to arrange themselves in groups?
cell recognition and cell adhesion
The binding of cells in a tissue, the same kinds of molecules sticking out of the cells bind to eachother
homotypic
Binding between cells with different types of proteins.
heterotypic
When cells contribute material to additional membrane structures that help cement them together.
cell junctions
Junctions thatseal tissues and prevent leaks.
Tight junctions
What are three types of specialized cell junctions?
tight, desmosomes and gap

desmosomes
Facilitate communication between cells.
gap junctions
What is the difference between active and passive transport
active transportation involves the input of chemical energy
Channels that allow water into a cell rapidly.
