| Osmosis | The diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane |
| Cellular Respiration | the process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food |

| Mitosis | In eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes |
| Endocytosis | The process by which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell |
| Passive Transport | The movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by 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 emebrane |
