Cellular Respiration | The process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food |
Mitosis | In eukaryotic, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes |
Passive Transport | The movement of substances across the cell membrane without the use of energy of the cell |
Diffusion | The movement of particles from regions of higher density to regions of lower density |
Osmosis | The diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane |
Active Transport | The movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy |
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 |
Exocytosis | The process in which a cell releases a particle by enclosing the particle in a vesicle that then move to the cell surface and fuses with the cell membrane |
