| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| mixture | a combination of substances |
| organic compound | always contain carbon and hydrogen and usually are associated with living things |
| enzyme | regulate nearly all chemical reactions in cells |
| inorganic compound | made from elements other than carbon |
| passive transport | the movement of substances through the cell membrane without the input of energy |
| diffusion | random movement of molecules from an area where there is relatively more of them |
| equililbrium | where diffusion stops |
| osmosis | the diffusion of water through a cell membrane |
| active transport | input of energy is required to move materials through the cell membrane |
| endocytosis | taking substances into a cell by surrounding with the cell membrane |
| exocytosis | contents of a vesicle can be released by a cell |
| metabolism | the total of all chemical reactions in an organism |
| photosynthesis | producers use light energy to make sugars which can be used as food |
| respiration | chemical reactions occur that break down food into simpler substances and release their stored food |
| fermentation | to release some of the energy stored in glucose molecules |
