Cellular Transport & Metabolism
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Passive Transport | The movement of things in and out of the cell without the use of energy. |
| Active transport | The movement of things in and out of the cell with the use of energy. |
| Diffusion | The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. |
| Equilibrium | A balanced state. |
| Osmosis | diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane |
| Rehydrate | To absorb or take in water. |
| Facilitated diffusion | Transport proteins on the cell's membrane transport substances into and out of the cell without energy. |
| Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) | a compound used by cells to store and release energy |
| chemical equation | A representation of a chemical reaction that uses symbols to show the relationship between the reactants and the products |
| Metabolism | the chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy |
| Photosynthesis | Is the chemical reaction a plant carries out in order to produce energy from sunlight |
| Chlorophyll | The green pigment in plants that uses the sun's energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into energy in the form of glucose, a sugar molecule. |
| Glucose | A sugar molecule |
| Cellular Respiration | a chemical reaction where sugar is oxidized to make energy plus CO2 and water |
| Respiration | Another word for breathing and breathing allows you to get oxygen in order to power cellular respiration. |
| Fermentation | Breaking down sugars to release energy in food without using oxygen. |
| Lactic Acid | product of fermentation in many types of cells, including human muscle cells |
| Amino Acids | The compounds that can be added together to make proteins. |
| Proteins | Large molecules made from stringing amino acids together. |
| Enzymes | molecules that affect theterm |
| diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion | What are the 3 types of passive transport? |
| oxygen | What does cellular respiration require that fermentation does not? |
| Energy, water, and carbon dioxide | What are the end products of cellular respiration? |
| takes place in the mitochondria | In which organelle does cellular respiration take place? |
