| active transport | Movement of material through a cell membrane with the use of energy. |
| diffusion | The movement of molecules move where they are concentrated to where they are less concentrated; a type of passive transport in cells. |
| endocytosis | A process by which cells transport a large body, such as a large protein molecule, through the cell membrane into the cytoplasm. |
| exocytosis | A process by which a cell moves large molecules out through the cell membrane. |
| osmosis | The passive transport of water through a cell membrane by diffusion. |
| passive transport | Movement of material through a cell membrane without the use of energy |
| photosynthesis | A chemical reaction used by producers, such as green plants, to produce food; light energy is used to produce chemical energy, converting carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen. |
| respiration | A process by which some organisms release the energy they need for life processes by combinig oxygen with glucose. |
| equilibrium | Condition in which the number of molecules of a substance is maintained at the same amount throughout a space. |
| plasmolysis | Water moves out of the cell. |
| selectively permeable membrane | It allows some molecules to pass through but not others. |
| fermentation | A process by which yeast and some bacteria release energy needed for life processes by breaking down glucose into alcohol and carbon dioxide, without the use of oxygen. |
| producers | Organisms that make their own food ,such as plants. |
| consumers | Organisms that can't make their own food. |
| metabolism | Is the total of all the activities of an organism that enable it to stay alive, grow and reproduce. |
