| passive transport | Movement of substances through cell membrane without the use of cellular energy |
| osmosis | Diffusion of water through a cell membrane |
| organic compound | Compounds that always contain hydrogen and carbon |
| mixture | Combination of substances in which the individual substances retain individual properties |
| metabolism | Total of all chemical reactions in an organism |
| inorganic compound | Compound made from elements other than carbon |
| fermentation | Process by which cells release small amounts of energy from glucose molecules without use of oxygen |
| exocytosis | Process by which vesicles release their contents outside the cell |
| equilibrium | Occurs when molecules of one substance are spread evenly throughout another substance |
| enzyme | Protein that regulates chemical reactions in cells without being changed or used up itself |
| endocytosis | Process by which a cell takes in a substance by surrounding it with the cell membrane |
| diffusion | Process in which molecules move from areas ehere there are more of them to areas where there are fewer of them |
| cellular respiration | Process by which producers and consumers release stored energy from food molecuses |
| acitive transport | Energy-requiring process in which transport proteins bind with particles and move them through a cell membrane |
| photosynthesis | Process by which plants and producers use light energy to produce a simple sugar from carbon dioxide and water and give off oxygen |
