| metabolism | all chemical activities that occur in an organism |
| osmosis | diffusion of water through a membrane |
| diffusion | movement of materials across a cell membrane without the use of energy (from high to low concentration). |
| active transport | energy requiring process that moves materials into cell from low to high concentration |
| passive transport | the movement of substances across the cell membrane without the use of energy |
| plasmolysis | a type of diffusion..cell shrinks from loss of water |
| cell division | cell divides into 2 identical daughter cells (after mitosis) |
| mitosis | in eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each w/ same number of chromosomes. |
| meiosis | the production of sex cells… two divisions of the nucleus resulting in ½ the number of chromosomes |
| fermentation | the breakdown of food by a cell without oxygen |
| homeostasis | ability to maintain stable internal condition |
