Cell Processes

7th Grade SOL LS.6 & LS.3

AB
diffusionThe movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low consentration (no energy - needed).
osmosisDiffusion of <b> water </b> across the cell membrane.
active transportIs used for substances that can not cross the cell membrane without energy. The large particles in the cell membrane (made of protein) help move the substances across the membrane.
photosynthesisPLANTS - "putting together with light" - plants use the energy in sunlight to make glucose and carbon dioxide
respirationANIMALS - process where animals release the energy stored in glucose
fermentatoinWhen cells do not have enough OXYGEN to carry out respiration glucose is broken down to form a carbon dioxide and an acid.
Two types of passive transportDifusion & Osmosis = both processes require NO enery
three types of energy producing processesPhotosynthesis , Respiration , & Fermentation
In what 2 processes is glucose broken down to form carbon dioxide and an acid.Respiration & Photosynthesis
Name 2 things that move in our body through passive transport.Oxygen and Water
The process by which a cell nucleus devides into two identical nucleimitosis
There are ____ phases in mitosis5
chromosomesThese are threadlike strands located in the cell's nucleus, they control the cell's activity.
impermeableIf substances do not pass through the membrane (the cell wall is like a barrier) the cell wall is considered ...
selectivley permeableIf a membrane is permeable to some materials but impermeable to others, it is described as ....
permeableWhen substances are able to pass freely into or out of a cell's membrane, the membrane is said to be.
