Definition
A property of cell membranes that allows some substances to pass through while others can not.
Term
passive transport
Definition
The movment of materials through a cell membrane without using energy
Term
active transport
Definition
The movement of cells through the cell membrane using energy
Term
diffusion
Definition
movement of molecules of a substance into a cell or out of a cell
Term
the substance of diffusion moves from an area of (1) to an area of (2)
Definition
(1) higher concentration (2) lower concentration
Term
osmosis
Definition
special diffusion where water is the only substance is involved
Term
water moves to a (1) to prevent the cell of dying out
Definition
(1) greater concentration
Term
if too much water leaves the cell ___ happens
Definition
cell dries up
Term
if too much water enters the cell ___ happens
Definition
cell bursts
Term
The main difference between active and passive transport is ___
Definition
active transport requires energy to move materials in and out of a cell while passive does not
Term

Term
photosynthesis
Definition
food making process in green plants
Term
photosynthesis requires

Term
cell respiration
Definition
when a cell releases energy for food
Term
two types of respiration are
Definition
arobic and anarobic
Term
arobic respiration
Definition
a food is broken down with the help of oxygen
Term
anarobic respiration
Definition
food is borken down without the help of oxygen
Term
fermentation is what kind of respiration
Definition
anarobic
Term
formula for respiration
Definition
glucose + oxygen -) carbon dioxide + water + energy
Term
metabolism
Definition
building up and breaking down of chemical activities that occur in a cell
Term
cells get (1) from (2) and change it into (3)
Definition
(1) energy (2) enviroment (3) useable energy
Term
the result of metabolism is
Definition
energy in food is set free so can be used to do work
Term
in mitosis one cell

play an important part in cell division
Term
the 3 important things that happen in prophase are
Definition
nucleas membrance disappears, centrioles locate at the opposite ends of the cell, and spindle fibers form between centrioles
