metabolic waste | any product from a process in organism that is not a desired product |
resources | any material needed for a process |
osmosis | movement of water molecules across a membrane |
diffusion | movement of molecules due to brownian movement |
facilitated diffusion | diffusion of a molecule through a membrane down concentration gradient - no energy from cell |
exocytosis | pushing materials out of cell |
endocytosis | engulfing materials into the cell |
active transport | process which moves larger or charged molecules in or out of cell using energy |
homeostasis | the stable environment inside an organism |
autotroph | organism that makes its own food |
heterotroph | organism that gains its energy from other organisms |
thylakoid | part of chloroplast that contains grana and carries out the light reactions in the process of photosynthesis |
stroma | solution that surrounds the thylakoid in the chloroplast |
grana | stack of thylakoid in the chloroplast |
chlorophyll | pigment that absorbs red and blue light to store energy in process of photosynthesis |
light reactions | process in photosynthesis that splits water using light energy |
calvin cycle | carbon fixation - part of photosynthesis where carbon is fixed into glucose |
carbon fixation | calvin cycle and dark reactions |
calvin cycle | carbon fixation and dark reactions |
dark reactions | calvin cycle and carbon fixation |
aerobic | form of cellular respiration that uses oxygen |
anaerobic | form of cellular respiration that takes over when there is no oxygen available |
krebs cycle | series of biochemical reactions that release carbon dioxide and result in the formation of ATP |
ATP | molecule present in all living cells and acting as an energy source for metabolic processes |
ADP | turns into ATP when carrying energy |
