Mrs.H:Cell Transport
Cellular Transport for 8th Grade Science- BCA
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chemical reaction that uses Oxygen and breaks down food molecules into simpler substances to release their stored energy | Respiration |
| Process that uses light energ, carbon dioxide, and water to produce sugars and oxygen needed by all living things | Photosynthesis |
| The sum of all chemical reactions that take place in an organism | Metabolism |
| Takes place when energy is needed to move substances through a cell membrane; uses transport protiens or vesicles | Active Transport |
| Random movement of molecules from an area of more to an area of less; down the concenttration gradient | Diffusion |
| Process of taking substances INTO the cell by surrounding them with the cell's membrane | Endocytosis |
| The number of molecules in two areas is the same | Equilibrium |
| Process in which the contents of a vesicle are moved outside of the cell; they EXIT the cell | Exocytosis |
| The diffusion of water through the cell membrane | Osmosis |
| Movement of substances through the cell membrane WITHOUT the use of energy; Lazy Transport | Passive Transport |
