A | B |
carbohydrates | energy-rich organic compounds made of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen |
lipids | make and store energy for a cell |
proteins | build new cell structures |
amino acids | protein molecules are made of smaller molecules |
enzyme | type of protein the speeds up chemical reaction in living thing |
nucleic acids | long organic molecules made of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen |
selectively permeable | SOME substances can pass through the membrane |
diffusion | small molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration |
osmosis | the diffusion of only water through selectively permeable membrane |
passive transport | movement through a membrane without energy |
active transport | movement through a membrane with energy |
photosynthesis | process when cell captures light and uses it to make food |
stomata | tiny openings on the undersides of leaves |
heterotroph | an organism that can't make its own food |
autotroph | an organism that makes it's own food |
nucleic acids | provide information for the cell |
chloroplast | chemical compound that captures light energy from the sun and uses it to produce glucose |
fermentation | provides energy for a cell without oxygen |
engulfing | active transport when cell membrane surrounds a particle and brings it into the cell |
