respiration | process by which cells obtain energy from glucose |
fermentation | energy-releasing process that does not require oxygen |
selectively permeable | some substances can pass through the membrane while others cannot |
diffusion | main method by which small molecules move across the cell membrane from a high concentration to an area of low concentration |
osmosis | the diffusion of water molecules though a selectively permeable membrane |
passive transport | movement of dissolved materials through a cell membrane without using cellular energy |
active transport | movement of materials through a cell membrane using cellular energy |
photosynthesis | process by which a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make food |
autotroph | organism that can make its own food |
heterotroph | organism that cannot make thier own food |
pigments | colored chemical compounds that absorb light |
chlorophyll | main photosynthetic pigments in chloroplasts |
stomata | small openings on the undersides of the leaves |
photosynthesis equation | 6CO2 + 6H2O ---- C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
chloroplasts | green organelles inside plant cells |
