Term
Definition
Active Transport   The movement of particles across the cell membrane that requires the cells energy.  
🗑
Passive Transport   The movement of particles across the cell membrane that does not require the cells energy.  
🗑
Endocytosis   The process by which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle in the cell.  
🗑
Exocytosis   The process in which a cell releases a particle by enclosing the particle in a vesicle that then moves to the cell surface and fuses with the cell membrane.  
🗑
Osmosis   The diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane.  
🗑
Diffusion   The movement of particles from regions of high concentration to a low concentration.  
🗑
Cellular Respiration   The process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food.  
🗑
Fermentation   The breakdown of food without the use of oxygen.

Mitosis   In eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes.  
🗑
Heredity   The passing of genetic traits from parent to offspring.  
🗑
Genotype   The entire genetic makeup of an organism; also the combination of genes for one or more specific traits.  
🗑
Phenotype   An organisms appearance or other detectable characteristic.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
