active transport | movement of substances through a cell membrane using the cell's energy |
diffusion | movement froman area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration |
endocytosis | process during which a cells takes in a substance bysurrounding it with the cell membrane |
exocytosis | process during which a cell's vesicles release their contents outside the cell |
facilitated diffusion | when molecules pass through a cell membrane using transportproteins |
osmosis | diffusion of water molecules only through a membrane |
passive transport | movement of substances through a cell membrane without using energy |
cellular respiratiation | series of chemical reactions that convert energy in food molecules into ATP |
fermentation | reaction used to obtain energy from food when oxgen levels are low |
glycolysis | process by which glucose is broken down |
photosynthsis | series of reactions that convert light energy, water,and CO2 into glucose and give off oxygen |
