Cellular Processes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Movement of particles from high concentration to areas of lower concentration | Diffusion |
| Movement in a cell that does not require energy | Passive Transport |
| A series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in fool molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP | Cellular Respiration |
| An organism that can make its own food, typically through photosynthesis | Producers |
| A process by which glucose (sugar) is broken down into smaller molecules | Glycolysis |
| Movement of materials through a cell membrane that uses a cells energy | Active Transport |
| Diffusion of water | Osmosis |
| The difference in the number of certain type of molecules on each side of a membrane | Concentration Gradient |
| The molecule that a cell uses to power many processes in the cell that need chemical energy (usable energy) | ATP |
| A reaction that eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells can use to obtain energy from food when oxygen levels are low | Fermentation |
| A series of chemical reactions that convert light energy, water and CO2 into the food energy molecule glucose and give off oxygen | Photosynthesis |
| A type of passive transport is diffusion. How would you know in a picture if diffusion was happening? | A diagram would show an area of particles with a higher concentration going to an area of particles with a lower concentration. |
