and Cell Process
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Active Transport | The movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy |
Cellular Respiration | The process by which cell use oxygen to produce energy from food |
Diffusion | The movement of particles from regions of higher density to regions of lower density |
Endocytosis | The process by which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses the particles 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 moves to the cell surface and fuses with the cell membrane |
Homeostasis | The maintenances of a constant internal state in a charging environment |
Mitosis | In eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes |
Osmosis | The diffusion of water through a semipermeable |
Passive transport | The movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell |
Photosynthesis | The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food |
