Term
diffusion
Definition
movement of a substance from an area of hight concentration to an area of low concentration.
Term
osmosis
Definition
diffusion of water or other solvent through a cell membrane
Term
isotonic
Definition
water concentration inside the cell is the same outside of the cell.
Term
mitochondria
Definition
powerhouse...breaks down food for energy.
Term
active transport
Definition
Larger molecules require energy to pass through a membrane.
Term
passive transport
Definition
The movement of a chemical substance across a cell membrane without energy by the cell, as in diffusion.
Term
hypertonic
Definition
water concentration inside the cell is MORE than water concentration outside the cell. Cell will burst, (lyse)
Term
hypotonic
Definition
water concentration inside the cell is less than concentration outside the cell.
Term
endocytosis
Definition
when materials enter the cell.
Term
exocytosis
Definition
more large molecules out of cell (waste)
Term
phagocytosis
Definition
cell eating (takes in food)
Term
pincocytosis
Definition
cell drinks
Term
selectively permeable
Definition
allows some materials to pass but not others.
Term
photosynthesis
Definition
means to make with light.
photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts (leaves)
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll.
chlorophyll traps sun light energy and combines CO2 w/ H20 to make 602+C6H12O6
Term
respiration
Definition
occurs in mitochondria
mitochondria uses O2to break down C6H12O6 to make energy. CO2 and H2O as a waste product.
Term
ATP
Definition
Adenosine triphosphate
Term
chloroplasts
Definition
makes glucose during photosynthesis
