The Cell in Action
Term | Definition |
---|---|
passive transport | particles move from an area of high to low concentration- no energy needed |
diffusion | movement of particles from high to low concentration |
osmosis | the movement of water from high to low concentration |
active transport | particles move from low to high concentration- energy is needed |
endocytosis | large particles enter the cell |
exocytosis | large particles exit the cell |
photosynthesis | the process by which plants capture light energy from the sun and convert it to food |
photosynthesis formula | carbon dioxide + water + light energy = glucose + oxygen |
cellular respiration | the process by which the cell uses food and converts it into energy (ATP) |
cellular respiration formula | glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + ATP |
location of photosynthesis | chloroplasts |
location of cellular respiration | mitochondria |
binary fission | type of cell division in prokaryotic cells |
mitosis | cell division in eukaryotic cells; six stage process |
stages of mitosis | interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis |
