| diffusion | molecules move to areas of less concentration |
| equilibrium | molecules are spread evenly throughout another substance |
| osmosis | diffusion of water through the cell membrane |
| active transport | energy is required to move material through the cell membrane |
| passive transport | movement of substances through the cell membrane without the use of cellular energy |
| endocytosis | cell membrane folds around a molecule to enclose it |
| exocytosis | vacuoles membrane fuses with the cell's membrane to release its contents |
| matter | has mass and takes up space |
| enzymes | regulate nearly all chemical reactions in the cell |
| organic compounds | compounds containing carbon |
| inorganic compounds | compounds that do not contain carbon |
